Overview & Reviews
Heavily updated is the 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra, which makes 390 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque thanks to the addition of an Eaton supercharger. A new six-speed manual transmission drives the rear wheels through a 3.55 rear axle ratio. Larger wheels and tires come standard, along with stiffer springs and a tubular cross brace. Cobra convertibles have a cloth top, while both cars get new seats with upgraded leather and suede upholstery. A limited-production Mach 1 model arrives later in the year with a massaged 4.6-liter V8 engine making at least 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, a functional shaker hood with ram-air scoop, black striping, unique leather seating and retro-design Magnum 500 alloy wheels, and, of course, a Mach 460 audio system. Mach 1 can be ordered in a variety of colors with either a manual or automatic transmission. Like the Mustang Bullitt before it, the Mach 1 comes with a lowered, retuned suspension and additional frame rail connectors for a stiffer body. Large 13-inch Brembo front rotors and upgraded calipers are standard.
Standard V6 and V8 GT models change little for 2003. A V6 Pony Package includes 16-inch polished alloy wheels and the GT's scooped hood. All V6 models get a new hood design, and four new colors debut.
- Available V8 power, variety of trim levels, healthy dose of American attitude.
- Archaic structure, aged design.

Hey Man, what year is that? - 2003 Ford Mustang
By ChevyFan - March 15 - 2:00 amI love this car, and Ive had quite a few! This platform has been revised many, many times and it shows. The Mach 1 is the best all around fox bodied Mustang ever to leave the factory. Im not so sure 2005 will be an improvement...

ToplessStang - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Sabster - December 20 - 2:00 amWe were looking for something more fun to drive for the weekends than our family mini-van. Decided on a fully loaded GT convertible. Back seats are not bad for a 1 and 5 year old. Sunny weekends are a blast now. Got the Mach 1000 system for when the kids arent along for the ride :)

Kevins Cobra - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Kevin - November 16 - 3:47 pmIts a lot of fun to drive, GREAT performance, and I didnt buy it for fuel economy. The seats are comfortable, and have lumbar support, and adjustments to the sides of the seating surface and the back rest, but dont try to get an adult in the back seat for a long trip, car seats dont fit well either.

03 Torch Red Mustang - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Torch Red Mustang - September 26 - 10:00 amThis month, I bought a 2003 Mustang. It has been a great first car. I have recieved many comments on it from the first day I bought it. The only problems I have had with it were minor. The first being that the car locked itself while I had it in park and the engine on. The second was that I had a defective rear defroster switch. Otherwise, it has been a great car, which I would highly recommend.
