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...

By spell99 - January 7 - 2:00 amI spent a lot of time doing research on many makes of new cars and none offered the level of features for the money that the Mustang did. It is a great car!!!

This thing is a monster! - 2003 Ford Mustang
By JimmyJohns - January 1 - 9:07 amA true beast of a car! With V8 power flowing through dual Flowmasters this is the best sounding and looking car in town! With a top speed thatS too scary to even test (160+) and take off that will just about set you in the trunk, This car is fun to drive and very fun to own. The Mach 1000 sound system is one of the best I ever heard with a six disc in-dash CD changer and 4 watt amps mounted in the trunk. Go test drive this car, its so much fun you will laugh out loud, I did!

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.
