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.

GT convertible - 2003 Ford Mustang
By FEZ - May 25 - 10:14 pmGreat car at a lower than expected price, lots of power,handles very well,car still a favorite of many onlookers even when compared to new styling [some prefer it to the retro look]. It is also a car well supported by the aftermarket suppliers so custom accessories abound. Happy with mine after three years of ownership!

03 Mustang GT Convertible is awesome - 2003 Ford Mustang
By eccmustang - May 14 - 1:52 pmI love this car. It is very fun to drive and it is very stylish. All of my friends love my car. It is very reliable and I have never had any trouble with it. It never leaks because of the top and the top comes down very quick.

In Pursuit Of A Ford Mustang Grey - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Cars4me89 - May 2 - 2:00 amThis is a super beast. Almost 400 horses roaring to be let loose underneath your foot and when you let them go they are sprinting! Superchargers are always great. I bought this car in the color grey and it reminds me of the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds". My idea of driving is "Drive like you stole it" and I love that line and its my motto. This car certainly fufiles that motto for me and more.

my dream - 2003 Ford Mustang
By sticman - April 26 - 2:00 amSince wanting a GT since I was a kid.. This is everything I wanted.. The seats fit like a glove and everything fits my size perfectly.. Red lights are great.. The open highway is even better... Plenty of power to enjoy.

Great car - 2003 Ford Mustang
By James C Nase - March 13 - 10:22 pmI do all my own maintenance, how ever I did get an after market vehicle coverage plan. I can not determine what the oil change schedule is if you only drive your car 6,000 miles a year. Love the car, but not sure if I will keep the coverage plan. I replaced the Trans and rear, trunk lid w/ spoiler, tail lights, radio, rotors, brakes, wheel inserts and some small items. this vehicle was a repo and the last owner stripped and sold some parts. Still looking for a recommended maint schedule for cars over 130,000 miles, driven at 6,000 miles per year. [contact info removed].

2003 Mustang Convertible STD - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Mike5 - March 3 - 10:00 amThis is the 2nd Mustang I have owned, the first being a 01 Mustang Conv. Its simply the best 4 seater convertible for the money. The car looks great with the top down and the auto top is easy to use and opens quickly. It has enough power to be fun but not dangerous. Its a solid smooth ride which is exceptional for convertibles.

Awesome Car! - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Kevin - February 14 - 11:59 amIm biased because Im a Mustang lover. For all those people disliking the comfort, interior design, and fuel mileage go buy an import. This is not an issue for the real men who drive Mustangs. The interior design is a bit bland but to be honest it doesnt matter with me. This car is so underestimated out there in the high hp car world. Probably because now its kinda rare since they were only produced for 2 years. Best car Ive ever owned.

Deceptively fast!!! - 2003 Ford Mustang
By rtking - February 13 - 10:00 amThe SVT Cobra is definitely "Deceptively Fast." Theres no caucophony in the cabin to suggest your extra-legal velocity. And how they got a 3700 car to handle so nimbly is amazing. The Cobra is surprisingly "tossable.". The downside to the Cobra is that it is a $16,000 car with a fabulous driveline and suspension. The interior doesnt scream quality. But for $34,750 (if you can find one at that price), the performance this car delivers is well worth every penny!
