Why is the 1999-2004 Mustang So Hated?

- The 1999-2004 Mustang GT has a special place in my heart. It was my first car and it is a great way to get into the car world. This one is nothing like my first car however - this has a Boss 302 Road Runner engine swap with a centrifugal supercharger making 700HP. When it comes to New Edge Mustangs, the Terminator and Mach 1 put the Mustang GT and V6 Mustang to shame. So aside from the cheap feeling interior, does having a much better power plant fix all of the new edge SN95 Mustang's issues? Let's talk about it.

How to annoy a New Edge owner:
...."nice crown vic hue hue hue"
Doesn’t annoy me at all. Makes it that much more impressive when someone gets their feelings hurt by a crown Vic motor
No you just pull up on the window switch panel
You need to do a video reviewing all the mustangs you've driven with different engine/power adder/na combinations, which you liked, why, and what they were good for or better at. It would help to inspire people to decide towards the goal they're trying to achieve with their mustang.
Oh ... god my temper flared from the days when I had a New Edge SN95 ...
Braaa
New Edges absolutely do not deserve the hate. I understand why they aren't for everybody, they are older now and the technology and build quality is not up to todays standards but I still love New Edges and the Terminator is my all time favorite car.
My EXACT sentiment
I loved my 2v was an awesome car and very reliable as well
Tbh this design is in my top 3
Not to mention with longtubes and a high quality exhaust they sound soooo good! Second only to the gt350 in the mustang world.
Well it depends on quality because there’s still a ton of junk being built 😂
I feel like new edge is the perfect starter car for a young enthusiast. My point being:
- tons of aftermarket support
- reliable engine
- if you’re unfortunate to pop one, they’re cheap to replace
- they’re lightweight
- sounds very good
Edit: my new edge is my first v8 car
Same here I just bought an 04 40th anniversary package mustang a month ago! (It is my first car)
Id say it isnt the perfect car as mine had no traction control or abs and these cars still make a fair bit of torque, in the rain my car was ready to rip the tires off with any touch of throttle in a turn, I loved my new edge and with some respect behind the wheel you cant get yourself into to much trouble❤️
@scandaleux7915 Well if someone is worried about that they can buy one with those options. My 96 doesn't have abs, traction control and has crank windows. Love it. More raw and less weight
I had an 09 and always turned traction control off, because if you lose traction while turning it could make things worse fast!
@@scandaleux in the same boat, but it made me a better driver when snow/ice comes into play
New Edges remain some of the best looking cars out there. And there's no denying, as "slow" as the 2V is, it sounds incredible
And for the price it would cost to swap and build a roadrunner for this car you could build the motor in it for just as much power
What does “slow” mean? They’re still faster than most ICE cars of today.
@angelgjr1999 By "Sports car" terms, the GTs are quite slow compared to Coyotes, the LS', New LTs, Hemis, etc. I had a New Edge GT before I bought my Mach 1 and it was definitely a very fun car, but stock, they're definitely not powerhouses lol
@@RwbyMach It’ll beat Honda Civic SI, and especially the Subaru BRZ. I promise you can’t get a better deal for the money. Unless you go for a bike, but those are death traps.
@angelgjr1999 Yes, I know this. I had one, and I have a 4V now haha. Like I said, they're fun cars still and have enough oomph to get you in trouble.
99-04 Mustang. The best looking Mustang of all time.
I gotta go with the 1969-70 fastbacks, but New Edge is great too. Of course I am biased since I own a 2004 Mach1 (had it since new).
no one *hates* the new edge.
edit: you're all simply lying. No one hated the terminator. No one hated the Saleen s281. No one hated the SVT 2000. cope harder.
You'd be surprised. If it's a mustang it's gonna get hate.
I own one, hate it
@@antmarquis87hahahaha same. How’s your power steering pump HAHAHAHAHA GOTEEMM
That's bullshit. They get ragged on all the time
*From a non-Mustang owner's perspective, these are actually my favourite Mustang shape. I never would have guessed they were hated?*
If I had to guess its cuz people think they look kinda boring compared to the gen after it? They're probably an acquired taste
I’ve always thought this is one of the most gorgeous looking cars as a kid. Especially after seeing it in 2f2f, the red looks so nice on it!
The one in the movie is a 2000 Cobra R! Only 300 were made
@@19ShilohKno he’s talking about the Saleen mustang that got crushed between two trucks
The new edge mustangs were the reason i fell in love with mustangs when i was a kid. I was actually upset when they came out with the s197 in 05 until the face lift in 2013.
I have a 05 roush mustang no face lift need
Honestly some aggressive gears and bolts ons this is a super fun daily driver that you can get VERY high mileage out of if you take care of it. Its the kind of car that puts a smile on your face even though its not the fastest.
They are such a good driving experience, really feels fun to drive. I did heads and cams on my 02 and it's not the fastest but it gets down and still has that 2v sound and charm, I love it to death
I think 99-04 is the best looking mustang. The rest of the gen just got big and bubbly 😢
I was 8 years old when these came out. I was obsessed with all pony cars, and the mustang was always king. When the 05 came out, I appriciated the throw back design a lot, but the new edge's sleak design always held a special place in my heart as being the modern gen when I first got into cars.
I have a completely stock (except for the 15" wheels from a 1999 model) 2003 V6/auto Mustang. It is Zinc Yellow. It has 72,000 miles on it and runs like new. It is a daily driver. I bought it not so much because I wanted a Mustang, but because I wanted a 2 door rear wheel drive American car. The Mustang was pretty much my only real choice. It is so much fun driving my bright yellow Mustang to work in the morning in a sea of grey and black front wheel drive 4 door sedans, crossovers, and 4 door taxi trucks. I got it 6 years ago for $4200 in near new condition. Back then V6 Mustangs had almost no value. Nobody wanted one. It turned out to be the perfect car for me.
I paid $3500 for a 5spd 99 GT in high school. Got me through college (over 215k total miles) and it was a lot of fun. Your new edge videos have been really fun to watch
I didn't know they were really hated? One of the only generations I've never owned, but I still want to. I see these cars with high 200, and 300,000 miles often, in my line of work, and they still seem to be holding up well. I understand it's down on power a lot from today's stangs and even some other cars from the time. But one area the old 4.6 will always have a one-up on the Coyote, and almost every other newer motor from any brand, is its relative simplicity. As a mechanic I'd much rather work on a 4.6 than a Coyote or a Chevy LT. A 4.6 is an engine that will go the distance. That same unloved 4.6 is the engine that powered the legendary Crown Vic police cars, and the Mercury Grand Marquis. On those rigs it's very very common to see 400,000+ miles, original everything.
Just to put things into perspective, Joel Steele (World Record stick driver) had a Boss 302 for a WHILE @ 1300whp and all he had done was ARP hardware on a bone stock Roadrunner. These motors are insanely tough, I do also believe Dakota @ Lund also has a Boss 302 and it was making 1100whp with just cams and a twin turbo kit.
Look at the snot rocket who went 6s on a stock block
The build on Brad’s car is sick. Roadrunner engine with an ESS. Sounds amazing and hauls butt!
Thank you
I've never understood a lot of the hate early SN's and New Edges got/get... They're a fantastic platform for pretty much any engine you want.
Because people try to compare them against way newer way more expensive cars. For what it is it isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. So what the ls1 was little stouter in stock form woopty do they also cost alot of fn money people want 20k for clean ram air tas that's nuts.
The 94-98 are just ugly. Other than that; the dash is just horrible looking and doesn't match the new edge at all. I like'em other wise, it's just a modified fox chassis.
It's because it's the cheapest mustang to get into, so many people can afford to drive them and think they're the shit when they're not
I think they're some of the greatest looking cars ever made. Also super reliable.
You need to do a video reviewing all the mustangs you've driven with different engine/power adder/na combinations, which you liked, why, and what they were good for or better at. It would help to inspire people to decide towards the goal they're trying to achieve with their mustang.
That's a good video idea.👍
I learned how to drive in my mother's 2002 Roush Stage 2 and it was basically my daily in high school. When I first got used to the manual transmission, I pulled it out of a parking lot and immediately went into an 8 hour road trip. It taught me burnouts, donuts and figure 8s. I even got a few decent entry-level drifts with it! The factory plastic intake manifold failed on us, so we supercharged the 2V with 110k miles on it and made 330 whp and 345 tq. One owner car, spent a lot of it's life getting beat up by rowdy young dudes and it still pulls like a champ. My mother is cruising it happily into her 60s and I'll buy it when she's ready to sell. ❤
I have a 2001 Ford Mustang & And I'm in love with her, she drives like a charm
I daily drove a 5 speed '01 GT for over 5 years in Michigan. It was one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned. I loved it so much that I still have it today, parked it in my garage. I've neglected it for about 4 years and gotten way more into my Harley Davidsons. It could use a good cleaning, and probably a new battery and some calipers from sitting for so long, but it'll still run and melt tires like a champ.
This generation is what got me into cars, specifically mustangs. Seeing these around made me love them more than any other car on the road growing up
I loved these years of the mustang as a kid and still do today. Saving up to get either this or the trans am
I’m 23. My second car and first ever car I purchased with my own bank is my 99 GT Vert. 4.6 sounds amazing. Quick with a few bolt ons. And looks sick.
Dude...great content as always. Appreciate cha✌️
I’m excited to watch this video - I had a 99 GT and I loved it!
_The only thing people got against the new edge GT is _*_"oh its just a show 2v"_*_ little do they know how versatile they are you can swap almost anything into them not to mention the body style aged really really well._
I loved mine, great starter car. Once I did subframe connectors and some stiffer suspension parts it actually handled pretty good
I had an 04 gt with headers, x pipe, Flowmasters, spacer, pulley and I loved it. Still got my a** kicked by a modified mach 1 but was a great car and never had a single issues in almost 8 yrs of owning it.
Thank you David for talking so highly of my car. The video is amazing.
The new edge is making a comeback with a 5.0 later on. And not it does not suck the temri came to be in the new edge!
This video gets me excited for my future build on my son 04 new edge!
I’m literally gonna buy one from my buddy in the next few weeks this is perfect timing
As a 30 year old boomer i will die on the hill defending the SN-95. Of all the cars i've owned, my '00 New edge convertible was my favorite car i ever owned.
I had two new edges 10+ years ago and they were both amazing cars. Slow but still enough power to have fun. The 4.6 hands down still sounds better than the coyote. It has so much more tone to it than the raspy coyote. When it came time to coyote swap the last new edge I had a buddy selling his 2010 gt500 and ended up going that route. The Shelby was a lot of fun but the new edge had my heart at the end of the day.
I had a new edge and i loved it and now i have an sn 95 and its blast. IMO those model are the easiest to work on also to learn on.
Those cars were really sought after when they were new and a few years old. Where I lived at the time, people really liked to buy them and mod them with performance parts from manufacturers like BBK, 🎉Steeda, Borla, etc. They were honestly one of the best platforms for new automotive enthusiasts, to get cheap thrills, and as David highlighted, they could be modded into an absolute weapon, all without breaking the bank. I wanted one of them, but the price of insurance and other variables made them unobtainable. Eventually I did buy a 2005 GT Premium with a manual transmission, and really enjoyed doing some minor mods to that.
From high school till well into midlife, I was a GM guy......Camaros, Corvettes. Never owned a Ford. Found a Pewter 04 GT convertible, and have now had 4 New Edges. There's something about their simplicity, and very nice lines.. My 2012 GT/CS leaves my 99 Cobra in the rearview, but the Cobra is the daily driver. On the road, I have gotten 27 mpg on BOTH (if you behave) . What sports car can you get that AND all that fun, in one package. As the tv ad stated in 94: "It IS what it WAS, and MORE... .Thanks for your videos, would never have thought that engine would fit in a New Edge, and man what a sound!
Camaro guy now but I loved my sn95!!! When these came out I was so jealous especially the terminator!!! Was a great car and plenty of fun in the late teens tbh.
These are my favorite generation of mustang. I’ve had 3 and my latest is a terminator. These cars are great, cheap, the aftermarket is amazing because they’re still fox chassis. Fantastic cars.
Also, speaking of my Integra days, my buddy had an original SN95 1995 GT with the 302W and he had it fully built and stroked (minus sleeves) with a Roots style Kenne Belle supercharger and it made just under 600 whp. He had tall slicks on it and that thing would stand on one rear wheel on a hard launch and when I put slicks on my DA9 we would drag down 51 in Bridgewater, PA back in 2002 and 2003 and we would stay nose to nose until the red light at the turn for Beaver. Those were the days. We had alot of the old school hotrod guys that would always crap on us both until we would line up and smoke them all, but seriously, the ONLY vehicle that ever gave us both a good run was a 2002 Lightning and he had a FBO 5.4 with a five speed manual swap, and ran 20s with drag radials that would dead hook every time...on a well-used highway. He had Altezza tail lights and I got SO tired of looking at them that I blew my engine trying to chase him down. He would never tell us what all was done to it, but my buddy with the supercharged SN95 jacked him up against a wall and tried to force him to tell us what he did to that truck and he refused. He had some serious mods in that engine. No doubt they're fast from the factory, but this thing would just walk away from us both and we were constantly racing 429 swapped Galaxies and 454 SS Chevelles with ease, so it was mind boggling to us both how that Lightning could just give us the deuces.
Edit: I'm sorry, I dont mean to sound like we were the end all, be all of the time, alot of the races that we were in were close races, but we won most of them, especially when I would turn the boost up a little and adjust my tune, but we didn't win against the hotrodders ALL the time.
I think it was 351 rods and gt40 domes, cobra heads port matched, railrunner typhoon intake, and chevy deadbelt.
I love mine. I've got two 01 Bullitts. Recently sold a Mach 1 and am looking to get another. I like how they look, like the size, like how easy they are to work on.
I have an 02 v6 mustang and an 01 2v and I love them both, less about the speed because neither are fast (thats what my bike is for) but more because they are pretty fun to drive
Its not that we hated the car, it was the people driving them that we hated
Kind of like the ones driving the modern Mustangs now?
I love the new edges. My first car is a 2000 v6. Currently fixing the rot. After that i plan to throw a spare 5.0L 302 in her, that i have lying around.
I had a brand new 2002 Mustang GT five speed manual back in the day and while it was really slow, I raced a brand new BMW M hatchback on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and he handed me my rear end. I wasnt racing him at first, but after he passed me I downshifted in an attempt to keep up and I stuck with him up to 135 MPH when we both took the same exit and he went up on three wheels and I slowed down quickly to make the opposite side of the exit and I legit thought he wrecked out, but he rocked it and continued down to a racetrack that used to be nearby called Beaver Run, but it's now called Pittsburgh Race Complex (or something like that, in Wampum, PA). After that I sold that Mustang and bought a DA9 Integra (my favorite body style Teg), boosted it, and it was one of the best cars I've ever owned. That 1992 Integra made a little more horsepower than the Mustang (256 whp) and still ran a 12.2 @ 126 mph.
A gutted Integra?? 12.2 seems too fast for 256whp..lol
I have a canyon carver build on my new edge, and with the right parts it definitely behaves as a sports car. I can hang with the bmws and vettes that are usually on my twisty mountain roads.
Do coilovers, a stiff sway bar and fat R888Rs on every corner. Enjoy the tears from every "hurr hurr mustangs dont corner" crybaby
I’m always surprised more people don’t attempt top end swaps on these cars, it’s called the modular for a reason and 4 valves seem to do this motor wonders
you really need the whole 4v engine. 4v heads on a 2v shortblock has very low compression.
@@shankeriv1301 Ppl do it all the time tho.. i wouldn't worry about it..
Swap in stock 3v pistons on coyote rods and run 3v heads. You get 2v weight with 4v performance and better cams are still affordable. Want to boost it, coyote rods and stock pistons got you covered to 700rwhp.
Lincoln mark 8s had the 4 valve and nobody wanted them. I saw alot of those get junked
@@BruceLee-xn3nn Yeah, ppl were tripping back then.. I think it's bcuz they looked a bit ugly, imo..lol 😆🥸☠
Oh I kept my 2v in it, trick flow heads and cams. It's a blast!
slap a nitrous kit heuyeueue
i got TFS 38cc top end on my 09 P71, 309rwhp 321rwtrq with MHS TFS stage 3 n/a cams.. Slow still but fun..lol
@P71ScrewHead nice!! Fun is most important. Mine makes around 335/340,for a light car it definitely gets down for what it is
@@TheRealKazmir Oh yes, that's close to 400chp lil 281ci 2v v8.. Ppl don't understand how huge that is if it's n/a.. My numbers are lower bcuz it's a small cam n automatic 4dr car..
@@P71ScrewHead The Panther platform is significantly heavier than a foxbody chassis maybe get custom grinds from Todd Warren Cams and see if there is anything left on the table.
I would love to have this exact setup. These cars are a lot of fun.
I remember driving one that just had an exhaust on it. Good torque, just felt that the clutch pedal was usually heavy. Should it get hate? Nah.
Get use to it though. Good Ole cable
When I first got my 03 Cobra the clutch pedal was insanely stiff, when I'd go to push it, it would push me back into the seat before the actual pedal started to press. But I did a clutch kit with a low pedal effort option and then did a clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster. Those two things lightened the clutch pedal significantly. Some people who drive other manuals will still get in it and complain about how stiff my clutch feels but I really like it, I just tell them they should've felt it before all the work I did to it.
@JordanSVT mine pushed me in the seat too. And that was after an aluminum quadrant, firewall adjuster, stage 2 exedy clutch. Then my throwout bearing exploded after about 10k miles. Turns out the clutch cable was in a bind the whole time, changed the cable and throwout bearing and wow. Everyone still thinks it's insanely stiff but is many times lighter than it was. I don't notice it anymore
Lots of weenies in here, the clutch was stiff for all of 3 days of driving until you get the muscle memory for it. It's a _mans_ car
My friend got one of these for his birthday. He got his brother to help take off the heads, sanded them for two weeks, and on his first redline shift he went 0-60 in five seconds.
My brother had a 2000 bought new. 5 speed. The only mod he did was replace the crap factory plugs with copper core plugs and it picked up a tenth at the track from that. On the factory tires with zero traction in 1st and 2nd gear, and zero mods other than the plugs it went 14.1 at 99 mph at sea level. So much potential with gears, exhaust, heads and cams, tune, Blower. Really smooth engine but no power over about 5,500 rpm
I’ve always loved the way these looked for some reason. Never have owned one though :(
I've always wanted a New Edge and almost bought one back in 2017. It was a blue GT with manual and only 85k miles for $6500. Now for something similar it would be at least $10-12k with such low miles.
Best Looking and sounding mustang generation ever.
I didn’t know they were hated lol these have been my favorite mustangs since they came out and still are!
People hate these? They always looked cool to me.
Heads, tfs heads wake them up big time. Met a guy who had a bullit intake with trick flo heads and a cam. That thing ripped. Also had 3.73's instead of the 3.27s
That’s essentially my combo without the Bullitt intake, I have the rare P51 foxlake. I like how David always rags on 2Vs, I would love to see a built 2V vs blown coyote.
I own 4.6 procherger, absolutely love it! Its also realiable, powerful, and it turns heads, especially nowadays, when they are very rare in europe. Everyones driving newer ones:)
Absolutely loved my 02 gt it was my first mustang. Miss all 239 wheel horse power every day.
New Edges look so much more athletic and menacing than the Mustangs that came after.
The 05-09's look the most like the original cars. They have a classic design
@@3644Darrell agreed, the new edges are the most un-Mustang looking generation made right after the foxes. From my experience most people who have sn95's as their favorite don't actually like mustangs, they just like SN95s.
I like my New Edge, but if you don't like it, it's probably because you value the Mustang II or hoped the Probe was the new stang. I'm not into racing and it's quick enough for me. I like cruising and sound.
The cars that deserve praise especially of this generation is any with a 4v whether it be the multiple years of cobra or Mach 1. Or on the contrary how relatively simple it is to 4v swap a 2V. You can take the heads off a Navigator, 98 cobra cams, ported intake and make 350-370whp at 7000. Cobra crank and Coyote rods are also a good way to build a bullet proof motor on a budget. A heads cam 4v can make 370-390whp or even 400 with a really good tune. Another consideration is that the New edge is still a Fox platform! These cars can be gutted out to some pretty insane weights 2700# street legal is possible.
These cars are becoming nostalgic for not just people who drove them back in the day but for folks such as me who saw them growing up. Definitely a modern classic. Wish to obtain a clean Mach 1 sometime soon.
I would love to have a New Edge just to daily or cruise. They sound so good too.
I’ve been wanting to get a project/weekend car, and with the prices of C5s, Trans Am and basically all the cool cars from my adolescence this car is still very easy to get!
I vet people are sick of watching mustangs on here but I love them. I first car was a 2004 5 speed white Mach1 and I want it back so bad I could cry
It is literally an updated version of the sn95 which is literally a foxbody stang. Even the 94-95 come with the same 5.0 as the fox. The 04 Cobra body is fucking gorgeous.
That's a nice setup! I still love the look of the 99-04's. I had an 01 convertible but I traded my friend for his 01 lightning. I think I made out on that deal!
People love to hate the 4.6 v8 particularly the 2v. They made normal power for their time period and everything you'd expect to be able to do to any other v8 to get power can be done to them. I've built multiple 400+ hp 2v's and a bunch in the mid 300 hp range. It just depends what you're after. If you want just a stock car that's fast don't shop that time period.
Just FBO and 4.10 racing gears and my 5 speed literally beats hemi chargers on highway pulls. No idea what the previous owner did to her but I know he used to use it as a drag car. Not bad for an old car at all. It surprised me how quick she can be.
I heard 300hp is max with NA ...
Aaaaaaaaand there goes the SN95 maket.
The last affordable sports car is gonna stop being affordable pretty quickly now, thanks to this video
Coyote swaps are not new to New Edge’s…
People have been Coyote swapping New Edges. I probably never will though, I'd rather have a built 4.6L 4V personally.
It's been a thing for awhile to be honest. You aren't finding $100 blocks often and everything else isn't necessarily "budget". You really have to want this to go out and build one. You aren't saving a whole lot over other cars or builds
It's been a bit pricey for a while tbh
New edges have been going up in value since 2020. People are finally noticing they’re foxbodies with new fenders. Literally, almost everything about them is the same. People swap parts between foxes and SN95s all the time. They’re gonna become classics soon I think.
I had a 04 Mach 1 and loved it
I got a 2013 5.0 but I still would love to get one of these 2vs as a daily 🔥
I wish you could check out my 99 trans am Firehawk with a cammed 6.0! I love 90s and 2000s era. My dad had a new edge cobra and that’s what got me bitten by the bug! Love this video
Very solid first project car right now. Getting a manual rwd v8 that’s relatively reliable for 5-8k in decent shape AND looks decent with so much aftermarket support. What more could you ask for
Meanwhile my lube tech goes "hurr hurr mustang" while he breaks his GTI every other day.
Meanwhile my built turbo mustang has 5k miles issue-free
I loved my 04 gt. Was it a great car, no not really. But there is such a crazy aftermarket for them. Made 421 to the rear tire with a KB supercharger and it was a damn fun car to drive and the 2v just sounded so damn good.
These are the Mustangs that got me into cars as a kid. I still think they look and sound the best.
I bought a new laser red 1999 Mustang GT 54,000 original miles always garaged never seen much rain ever still looks new perfect. No paint fade always in garage.
I freaking love them. There's 2 reasons I would buy a Mustang: first would be price/performance ratio (I'd get an S550 Mustang), and second would be for the sound (I'd get a New Edge Mustang with the 4.6L 2-valve SOHC engine). 😍
Its wild that base economy cars have gotten equally as fast as the v6 sn95
I love the New Edges and miss my 02. But, I had to sell everything for that expat life.
I have a 01 GT and I am absolutely in love with it, replaced the powersteering, shocks & struts, new set of lowering springs, 18 inch rims with 295 in the back, magnaflow exhaust, new brakes all round, new exterior lights, new interior etc etc.
Only thing that is annoying me is the power. Swapping it with a 5.0 coyote is the most sensible thing I could do, more power, less expensive then a whole revision of the 4.6, and more reliable. Downside is losing that classic vintage sound that the 4.6 makes, is it possible to improve power on the 4.6, lets say 350-375 at the crank without boost?
Dope. Fast new edge! I dig that!
6:26
The convertible Vic just sitting in the back. Lol
I really gotta get my thunderbird out towards you once it’s finished. Cammed pi swapped 95 bird with Holley terminator and some spray.
Actually I always thought that the 05-2010 3V were the red headed step child of all modular Motor Mustangs
I love the normal SN-95. I would love to put the Cobra R IRS on one and just have a good daily. No engine swap necessary but I'd love to put a cyclone V6 in one
If you want IRS, the 89-97 thunderbirds can come with the 4.6 and have rear IRS from factory. Good option if a 99/01 cobra or terminator is outside of the budget
Sn95 with a 3.7 would be an absolute blast
A terminator with a pulley and a tune is faster than a hellcat for half the price.
I actually like this body style mustang. Don’t like the ones before, but once they put those headlights on and sharpened the body lines. I liked it.
You must not have ever seen a clean early sn95 done right. They're sick.
That’s Brad who used to be on Mustang Life. There’s videos of them working on it.
I remember when they 1st came out a gt was the car to have , next to a z28 or ss and who ever had a trans am ws6 that was king until the 03 cobra came out you hardly seen saleen or roush cars growing up in Houston in that era
ess gang !!!
I love my ESS G2 kit 💪🏾
I loved my 03 v6 mustang it was my 1st new car I also loved my 91 z28 some 6th gen ss and a c7 grand sport love my fast cars as much as the cruisers even had some luxury vehicles but nothing with speed
The COBRA or SALEEN text on the rear bumpers was unbeatable. I don’t think we’ll ever see something like that again
Gorgeous!
I loved the look of the Mach 1, shaker hood and pastel colors
Love these and Trans Am ws6's - entering the classic vehicle age where you dont need to smog and do some crazy mods :D
Love the new age mustang. I had a 2002 model. It was charcoal gray
