Overview & Reviews

2001 Ford Mustang GT models get unique hood and side scoops, so that you can tell 'em apart from V6 models. They also receive standard 17-inch wheels, and V6 Convertibles get 16-inch wheels as standard. All cars have a revised center console and blacked-out headlights and spoilers. The Mach 460 stereo system comes with an in-dash six-disc CD changer. A new "premium" trim line is created for both V6 and V8 models. After a one-year hiatus, the Ford SVT Mustang Cobra returns for 2001.

• Strong V8 power, competent chassis and brakes, good crash test scores, ragtop option.

• Solid rear axle, dorky-looking fake hood and side scoops, poor stereo ergonomics.

  2001 SVT Cobra - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By dougv - December 8 - 10:00 am

  This is a very fun car. Interior in the 2001 Cobra is better than any other factory Mustang. I love the leather/suede seating surfaces. The 6- disc in-dash CD player is great...much better than having the changer in the trunk or taking up armrest space. The only problem Ive had is that the shift from 1st to 2nd would stick. The dealer replaced the whole transmission under warranty within 5 days.

  Fun Pony! - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By BriGuy - October 26 - 3:58 pm

  This car is in my top 3 of cars I have ever owned. Didnt want to pay the extra insurance or worse gas mileage so I went for the 3.8 V6. I was worried it would be a wimp, not a chance. Rivals the power I have in my V8 Grand Marquis! Handled great on corners. Got 26 MPG consistently! Sold at 78k and never had a repair!

  Best car Ive ever owned! - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By hypnoticjoker - October 2 - 1:04 pm

  Ive only had it for a few months now but I can honestly say its by far my favorite car. Its luxurious and sporty at the same time, while still living up to its muscle car reputation. Very comfortable seats and great overall design. I get compliments everywhere I go. With 260 horsepower and so many aftermarket options, this car is great for both everyday driving and taking to the track. This car is an American classic and once you drive one youll understand why. Its a must have! I highly recommend this car to anyone who wants the best of both worlds in an automobile.

  Very Fun - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By Alistair314 - June 18 - 9:34 pm

  Im gonna start off by saying I love this car. It was my first sports car and I miss it very much. Its underpowered unfortunatly. For some reason Ford managed to get only 192 horsepower out of a 3.8 liter V6. It oversteers tremendously and driving it in rain or snow is a funny joke. Its just something about driving a Mustang that is just amazing.

  Im happy with my choice - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By the real deal - May 26 - 4:17 pm

  I had been shopping around for convertibles and one day I happened to stumble upon this one. Im glad I went with this car because it was probably the best convertible with a decent amount of performance Ive come across for my price range. I have an automatic model and prefer a manual transmission but because this car is so much fun to drive and its my daily driver, I dont mind not having control of the gears. Ive only had the car for less than a week and bought it with 86000 miles so I cant say much about reliability. It eats gas up in the city but you have to kind of expect that from a V8.

  By Todd May - April 18 - 1:57 pm

  Bought her in APR of02. The stock power grabbed ahold of me and never let go. Didnt lose a race. I have installed started to up grade. K&N FIPK,75mm throttle body/upper plenum, long tube heders with high flow cats, Flow master cat back,4.10 gears, Hypertech power programmer and Micky Thompsons for the track. This season I have installed a tower strut brace and sub frame braces. For the street I run Good Year 245/45 ZR17 in. tires mounted on Replica BLT 17x9 chrome wheels. I just bought a Gtech performance meter to tell me my actual HP. Ive done some paper calcs. and it was above 300 HP, pretty good for just bolt on mods. Not bad since she started at 260. I love her, my wife gets jealous.

  Farmer briers "BULLITT" - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By michael k. brier - January 7 - 10:59 pm

  Bought the car in December 2007. Drove it 2.5 hours to get it home. Hated to stop driving it. Its a blast to drive. Had several people pull even with me on the interstate to check it out.The dark highland green color is beautiful. I think I found my second childhood.

  Beautiful Car 4 last yr. of high school - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By stlcap5 - July 28 - 8:54 am

  I havent had it for that long but the car is just awesome. Gets off the line real quick. Also, once it hits 2nd and 3rd gear the car just takes off. Rides smooth and no complaints at all so far.

  Absolute joy to own. The only problem Ive ever had was a dealer mistake where they overtightened the oil drain plug stripping the bolt and causing a leak. Had it fixed, no other problems.

  2001 Ford Mustang Cobra - 2001 Ford Mustang
  By ron08 - January 12 - 2:00 am

  The car runs great. The power and pickup are good. I get about 312 miles to the tank, which is not bad for a cobra. The only thing I have noticed is a lag in the drivetrain. It is only noticeable when accelerating slowly. The gears sound as if they are loose. It could be the IRS. I am getting the Kenny-brown suspension for it, so if that doesnt work it is gear or tranny related.
