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.

A Great Car! - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Americanflag - June 9 - 2:00 amThis is the best car I have ever owned. Ford really got it right, they kept the best attributes of the original Mustangs and melded it with many of the benefits of modern technology. This car is fun to drive, great looking, a tribute to American engineering and automotive design. If you want a rear wheel drive muscle car, this is superb car at a very reasonable price.

o3 cobra - 2003 Ford Mustang
By hitmeonthatlatenite - April 17 - 10:00 ami find that the 03 cobra isent that much faster than the 01 cobra, ford had to go to a supercharger to try and keep up with the corvette, ford should go back to the 351 in the cobra then they would be able to smoke the corvette. Stayign with that small block 289 just does not produce enough horse power or torque.

03..... Year of the Mustang - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Mr DJ - March 4 - 10:00 amThe 2003 mustang has everything in one package: comfort, thretening POWER, and evil looks! The 5 speed manual shifts nicely, although the clutch travel is long. The car rides smoothly and quietly on the 17 rims and hugs the road. Convienience is OK with a few places to store change and so on, but the glove box is small even to store the owners manual in or CD cases for the 6 disk changer. The 4.6 liter V8 is awesome with great power and pick up.Anyone who thinks they can take it on with just a proformance muffler on a 4 banger is in for an embarassing suprise!! Care is easy, with not many places for the wash cloth to get stuck in when washing.

Ford makes very good cars - 2003 Ford Mustang
By legodaddy - February 22 - 10:00 amIm extremely happy with the reliability with my Ford Mustang. I have not had one single thing go wrong on my car since I bought it last November 2002 and I have close to 30,000 miles on it already. I have nothing to complain about with this car except for one annoying problem that listed under suggested improvements. The car is comfortable, rides smooth, performs well, and looks sexy.

Great Car - 2003 Ford Mustang
By Janice Ulmer - February 22 - 10:00 amThis has been a dream car of mine for along time. I went from a honda accord to a grand jeep cherokee and then to my mustang. I love this car. The power it has amazes me. It is so fun to drive and even though Im only 31 i feel like a teenager when im behind the wheel of mine 2003 silver baby. Thanks ford for making such a fun car to enjoy and drive. Also may i add the attention i get from it.

Got my Cobra - 2003 Ford Mustang
By rocketman - February 2 - 10:00 amPicked up my Cobra yesterday. Put about 100 miles on it so far. Drivers seat is nice. Tons of adjusment controls (passenger side doesnt have the controls). Incredible acceleration, even in fifth gear. The engine is not too load either unless you trigger the supercharger. The supercharger makes the car sound like a jet airplane. Trunk mounted amplifiers are nice. Instrument panel tells you the pounds of pressure the supercharger is producing, which is cool. Sonic blue looks great at night. The chrome exhaust pipes are very wide and add a lot of character. This car is definately a keeper.

AWESOME RIDE - 2003 Ford Mustang
By usfed - January 10 - 10:00 amI traded in a new 2003 Turbo Beetle for this vehicle. I do not regret doing so! Nice interior and I love the basket leather and styling. It is a rocket! The blue color attracts much attention. I constantly have people approach asking about this car. It is cool too that it only will take the good stuff for gas. It would get it anyway! 25 miles per gallon on the freeway is not bad for a muscle car like this. The shaker hood is too cool and makes the car. I was considering the cobra but the Mach 1 looks better and is fast enough for the street. Especially with this color. Ford, keep this blue color exclusive to the Mach 1!!
