All 1999-2004 Mustang Cobras had an IRS. The 03/04 Terminator Cobras had the best IRS and also had more robust 31 spline axles. You are correct however about the IRS returning to Mustangs in 2015.
I bought my '02 GT vert. new, added a Vortec Supercharger and all the other goodies. Has 400 RWP, suspension mods, brakes, and it will scream! I've had 6 Stangs, '66, '70, '95' '99, 02' and also have a '17 Ecoboost. But for overall fun, the '02 "BadHorsi" is hard to beat. It's in the shop right now, getting a Cobra Bumper Cover, new paint, new racing stripes, front and rear lights, replacing the cracked leather with new vinyl upholstery, carpet... Love these cars.
I own a 2003 Mineral Grey Terminator with a whipple 2.3 blower making 621hp to the wheels. I've owned 5 other mustang GTs over the years and loved them all but my Terminator is in a class by itself where new edges are concerned. It is and has always been my dream car. Even though it's 18 years old, terminators are still potent contenders in today's modern performance market. And with a few mods like mine has, you can still be king of the road!
"Terminators are a blue chip collector car, these are the BOSS 9's of today" Grieg Jackson of Barrett-Jackson had said, these will cost way over $100K at some point in time.......buy one NOW......
As a true car enthusiast since the age of 3, I've owned and built many rides over the years. The Ford mustang is a favorite--especially the 70' Boss 302 Fastback. As a daily, I recently purchased a 2004 40th Anniversary Edition 2V 4.6 GT with 78K miles from the first owner. With the exception of a BBK cold-air intake, Flowmaster 40's, Steeda lowered suspension(including the C/C kit) and JNC 17x8 (front) 17x9 (rear) wheels mounted with a staggered Nitto stance, my GT is BONE STOCK. Exterior is metallic grey finished with flat black highlights and racing stripes. I focussed on style and handling with this project, and all I can say is I love this car! I am absolutely FINE with the realistic 265 RWHP it produces but coupled with it's light weight and (now) much improved handling capabilities, it makes driving in Los Angeles bearable--especially with a 4-Speed Auto. As you may or may-not know, LA driving has always been "challenging" but today (except for most of COVID-2020) it's a complete nightmare. While surrounded by 500-1050HP supercars, my GT has NEVER failed to leave them all in my rearview, when duty calls. This New Edge makes all of it's HP usable through all of it's power band, and is surprisingly quick and nimble in traffic--and the best part--it's STOCK. AC and all mechanical moving/comfort amenities are fully functional and easy to repair. This GT is one of the best looking, (with a badass stance from Hell!) and sounding, SN95's you will ever see on the road. I encourage anyone plotting a life into motor mania, a great ride to consider is a 4TH generation Mustang. With a total investment of $6K you can't beat it--except for my 70Boss 302 Fastback.
Just watched your video. I own a 2003 Mach 1 and I love it. I ordered it from the factory with the 5 speed manual transmission and the interior upgrade. The only option available was a automatic transmission. I still own it. I drive it to local car shows and it’s always 1st or 2nd place in its class. I’ve kept it stock. My only complaint is the manual transmission... it was a little “notchy”. I love driving it.
I've had several mustang's in my time. 2 foxbodys, 3 SN95s, and 2 new edge cars. Currently I drive an 03 mach 1 and I LOVE it. I do think the 305hp is a little underrated imo. This thing moves for what it is. If you can catch one for a good deal, do it. They're goin up
its too bad the 71-73 cars get so much hate, but I understand it. The design was a departure from Mustang tradition. If you can look past the confines of the Mustang styling traits and see the car as its own unique thing, they are actually quite breathtaking. Fell in love with them as a kid and ended up buying one over a year ago. The roofline has similarities with the De Tomaso Pantera's. A somewhat exotic Italian look of that time period. Very striking and classy. Turns heads absolutely everywhere. They are also awesome to drive, and the 351 cleveland screams.
Great video, but I think the cobra R should be #1. The cobra R is alot more rare which transfers to a higher value. Dollars make sense... end of debate before it ever starts.
What? No 99-01 Cobra? But you put the fucking GT in there? The GT was one step up from the V6. 99-01 Cobra had a DOHC 4.6L V8 making 320 hp plus bigger brakes, better suspension and the IRS. The GT made 260 hp and the Bullitt was rated at 265 hp with its "special" intake worth only 5 extra hp. Get real.
I would say 03 cobra 00 cobra r Mach 1 99-01 cobra Bullitt (This is not counting the saleen and roush mustangs those were tuner mustangs modified by said companies after the fact not as delivered directly from ford)
agreed. the Bullitt isn't anything special outside the badge and the color. They only made 5,000 because they knew if they made more they'd be sitting at dealerships.
You just can't beat the 1973 and older Mustangs. The 1971-1973 "sport roof" model is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. And if you have one and are not happy with the lack of power, that is now an easy fix. Insure and register it as a collector car, which exempts it from emissions tests, then you can put all then power you want under the hood. The 1979-1993 Fox body Mustangs were not only the ugliest Mustangs ever made, they are one of the ugliest cars ever made PERIOD. But my personal favorite is my own Mustang, a 1967 coupe, red with a white vinyl top, white leather interior, beefed up 289/4 speed, stock wheels and covers and narrow WSW tires. Headers, glasspacks and a true dual exhaust system. No it's not cheap. It's taken me 40 years to be able to afford it.
For the most part I agree. But I had an 86 and 88 hatchback GTs and they were not that bad looking compared to the coupes. They are way popular now but mainly for drag racing because they are so light. My favorite styles of all were the 69-70 fastbacks but 67 is very cool too. Don't get me wrong now, I would dearly love to own a 71 Boss 351! Funny thing when I first started driving in the mid 70s I was a mopar guy with a 69 dodge charger and a 70 challenger. But now I'm a mustang madman! lol I was finally able to get my dream car too but for me it's a 2003 Terminator Cobra.
THANK YOU for the first 30 seconds. I thought I was the only one. That movie franchise loves to sh*t on Mustangs. Always wrecking them, except for Tokyo drift (Even tho they engine swapped it😑)
It doesn't matter what you do to these cars all of them can't take a corner or break the back tires loose. Because you will send it straight into a wall, another car, or running into a crowd of people. I've always wanted a Terminator cobra or the Cobra R.
Saleens are tuner cars modified by them after the fact based on normal production mustangs not factory delivered from Ford. That I imagine is why there was no saleen or roush cars.
That is a tuner mustang. He listed factory cars from Ford. Saleen and roush were both based on normal mustangs and modified by said companies after the fact. I assume he means factory as offered from Ford themselves as far as the list.
Your on crack, the 2004 Roush 440a absolute walks every Terminator and 2004 zo6 STOCK in a heartbeat. But almost ruined Ford and Roush relationship because that 440a almost killed Terminator sales. True HP was 460 and 480 tq and 355 gears and tuned for power to light up 1000 rpm lower. The true unicorn that was factory and warranty by Ford but only 40 because likely nobody doing reviews have ever driven one. Plus true story Ford paid propaganda articles to downplay the 440a. Just speaking history and truth. For modding the terminator rule but stock keeps value and 440 a actually from dig beats most c6 zo6 in quarter unless z driver is A plus. Terms are my favorite for modding though, but if you make a video include ALL that were actually warranty as production by Ford. The real specs of the 440a will never be truthful reveal. It will always be the true new edge unicorn!
Keeping my 01 bullitt, good car to start a collection with
Everybody forgets about the ROUSH mustang. 2001 only had 176 roush mustangs, I’m so lucky to own one😍
Roush, saleen, and steeda are so underrated and all are absolutely amazing brands
You’re very lucky
All 1999-2004 Mustang Cobras had an IRS.
The 03/04 Terminator Cobras had the best IRS and also had more robust 31 spline axles.
You are correct however about the IRS returning to Mustangs in 2015.
The Machs also have IRS
I've had my 03 GT for 15 years now and still love it
I was lucky enough to own an 04 cobra. A previous owner had ported and tuned the engine and it was sitting on 475 rwhp. It was a monster!
Man why would you ever sell it?
@@angelgjr1999 sometimes money problems rear their ugly heads.

Everytime i see a mustang at the junkyard it breaks my heart 😔

The new edge 99-04 generation of Mustangs have always been my favorite,
Don't really know why. But they just appeal to me the most

Love those shaker hooded Mach 1s! If not for the Terminator Cobra, I would own a Mach 1.
Nice video. Really love the Terminator mustangs... Lucky enough to have one now. But all of the new edge mustangs are fun!
I’ve had 2 GT’s looking for my third and eventually a 04 cobra later on 😁💪🏽
The Terminator is still badass today

I'll take a '71 Boss 351 Mustang any day of the week!
Glad to see the GT get some love lol
The stage 3 roush should have been on the list. 0-60 in 4.3s. Faster than the Cobra R and on par with Z06s. It ran 12.9s off the showroom floor.
Looking into getting a new edge that isn’t hella pricy. I think these new edge mustangs look better than the new GT’s
I think new edges r the best looking body style ever for the mustang especially Termi cobra and saleens...
I love new edge mustang. I personally own a 2000 gt 5.4 4v swapped! Currently working on a turbo kit
Sweet setup! My mechanic owns a 2003 GT with the Lightning engine swap(supercharged 5.4 2V SC). It hauls!
I currently own a 2002 mustang gt and that shit runs! Keeps up an srt8 off digs, rt’s. Definitely a fun car and slept on for sure
Great video, but I think the cobra R should be #1. The cobra R is alot more rare which transfers to a higher value. Dollars make sense... end of debate before it ever starts.

Imagine getting mad
The subject was not the 99-01 cobra, it's the GT!!
I would say
03 cobra
00 cobra r
Mach 1
99-01 cobra
Bullitt
(This is not counting the saleen and roush mustangs those were tuner mustangs modified by said companies after the fact not as delivered directly from ford)
agreed. the Bullitt isn't anything special outside the badge and the color. They only made 5,000 because they knew if they made more they'd be sitting at dealerships.
terminator cobra had irs not just the cobra r
I love my 99 2v. Although mine is built up a bit🤫 just a little turbo 2v
Single turbo???
@@joemama00069 yes
Grandma has a 2000 gt convertible white top, such a fun car!
Roush and Saleen are missing here. Saleen Cobra is my fav, then the Terminator.
I own a 2000 Saleen s281 SC speedster . As it sits 415 hp 460lbs tq. It’s got more than enough power to be fun
I don't understand why people bash on the 2v, it had more hp than any gt before it, yes slow by today's standards but a 93 gt only had like 205 hp.
Great Cars
You just can't beat the 1973 and older Mustangs. The 1971-1973 "sport roof" model is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

I have a 2004 40th anniversary gt love thr car she drives but will need a lot of work 💪
I feel like for 2023-2024 we will see a comeback of the terminator, they came out with the bullitt then Mach 1 cobras gotta be next
THANK YOU for the first 30 seconds. I thought I was the only one. That movie franchise loves to sh*t on Mustangs. Always wrecking them, except for Tokyo drift (Even tho they engine swapped it😑)
No mention on the saleen ?
99 to 04 mustang Saleen s281 extreme bro 🏁🏎️🏁
Which Performance mods for a gt without Software?
You totally skipped over the Saleen S281E , which put out 425hp.
Not only the cobra R had irs so did the terminator
As do the American 1999, 2001 and the Australian 2002 Cobdas
I love my '03 Mach 1 since I can't afford anything else.
Hell yeah I'll never part with my sonic blue terminator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! original owner and i love it!!! just as much as my 13 gt500
I own a 03 gt and ilove this car,best,
After the 2000 Cobra R,The 03-04 Cobra had IRS.
All the Cobras 99-04 had IRS.
You're actually saying that a GT is "better" than a '99/'01 Cobra? You sir have no street cred.
Cute yellow🐎🐎
I'm lucky enough to own a 96 duel cam mustang gt
No saleen ?
Shouldn't the Saleen new edge be on the list?
It was sold through Ford wasn't it?
Yes but not Ford produced. Ford Mustang GTs were sent to Saleen. They also did a few Cobras too.
Saleen Cobra easily the baddest New Edge
It doesn't matter what you do to these cars all of them can't take a corner or break the back tires loose. Because you will send it straight into a wall, another car, or running into a crowd of people. I've always wanted a Terminator cobra or the Cobra R.
Cobra R and lowered Terminators are great handling cars. I own a lowered Terminator so I know.
Never was a fan always reminded me of a pinto lol
😂😂😂i knew it was that seen
Wow. No saleen
Saleens are tuner cars modified by them after the fact based on normal production mustangs not factory delivered from Ford. That I imagine is why there was no saleen or roush cars.
No Saleen? Besides the Teminator.....the best wouod be the Saleen

That was lame, lol i already knew that
I'm confused are u talking yourself or something? That was like u responded to your own thoughts.
Here I am with my 97 mustang gt🥲 😂 at least I got it for $650 but have out in almost $1200 for it to almost be on the road
Nothing wrong with that! I previously owned a 98 GT and I had a blast driving it. I hope you get yours out there soon!
