@@vidsbfree4me Even if that were true (it isn't), it's still a Toyota Camry and will never be a Mustang. Everyone likes different cars and acceleration isn't everything. Also if only speaking acceleration wise, this still would only be a fair comparison of a Camry made in 01, which took 8 secs to get to 60 mph, and that was the "SE Sport" version, not the vanilla. Even the '24 Camry still takes 7.6 secs to get to 60, still not even on par with a base 01 Mustang V6 (7 secs flat).

The way they were released, they came out almost exactly a year apart and I had to have one of each. The 2003 was a bad car with many issues and I sold it and got a 2003 corvette Z06 a few months later which I still have today as well. The 2003 cobra's had issues back then which many people forget because they were so fast. Mine pulled to the right because the shock towers were welded in wrong. The shifter hit the dash/console probably from some misalignment. The engine had a ticking sound. The rear end would clunk because the backlash was set wrong. Sometimes it would not go in to first gear. I ordered it with the chrome wheels and they shipped it with the other wheels and owed me them later on which I never got. The 2001 was a much nicer high revving engine than the 2003 cobra but it was not as fast.

McQueen's Mustang had fifteen inch wheels, real tires, and NO computers. I actually own a 2003 Zinc Yellow Mustang V6. Had it for almost 5 years. I bought it for a daily driver. I really wanted a fourth generation Camaro or Firebird V6, but couldn't find a decent one in my price range. In fact, it was almost impossible to find one at all. So I was basically "stuck" with the Mustang. I got a really nice one with only 77K miles on it for $4200. For some reason, V6 Mustangs depreciate like crazy, while V6 Camaros and Firebirds don't. The Mustang is somewhat of an "ugly duckling" compared to the Camaro/Firebird, but my bright yellow one does look a lot better than all those little gray front wheel drive four door sedans and crossovers out there. But that is mostly because of the color. The 1979-2004 Mustangs are not good looking cars. It's hard to believe they sold at all against the third and fourth generation Camaro/Firebird.

@BrownBomber92181 Exactly mate, I mean look at the 4.6L SOHC 2V Modular V8s in the Ford Panther Platform (Ford Crownvic, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car).

Those 4v 4.6s were way undertuned from the factory. With a decent tune and some headers you could probably get nearly 400. The terminator version of that motor with the supercharger could make 700hp with bolt-ons.

I love my bullitt. 😊
@midnight3476 ай бұрын
There is no way a stock bullit trapped 105. Evan smith who was the editor of mm&ff mag back then got a best trap speed of 101 from a new 01 gt 5 speed. He ran at englishtown best track in country for fast times and he could drive way better than these dudes. No wah a bullit trapped 4 more mph and only one behind the cobra it only has like 5 more hp lol. (Than base gt)

Look at the overpriced Dark Horse. In Toronto, CDN one dealership was selling a Dark Hourse + Markup for as much as an M3 Competition Xdrive. 😅😅😅

99 version and they didnt make 2000 they were busy fixing the 99's. Then they said they fixed it for the 01's.
@gnws66 ай бұрын
That was '99. It was also why he made it a point to say, "an honest to goodness 320hp," because the recalled '99 news was everywhere at the time, even in 2001.

@@waterloo123100 usually, in a good way for insurance purposes. Claiming 320hp at the flywheel, then only generating about 220-230hp at the tires, was unacceptable. I mean, there was a recall/class action lawsuit filed on Ford about it, so it wasn’t really a joke.

What happened to the 60 mph slalom? Why did car reviewers move away from this?
@texan1766 ай бұрын
The prices now are out of control because the car is full of technology whereas the one in the review was very basic. Other than some changes to the suspension, better seats, and of course the drivetrain it shares most all of its parts with the poverty spec base car. Problem now is no one wants a poverty spec anything and they are okay financing 84 months at 7%. The days of any V8 car costing a minimum of $100K are near.

No, the Cobra still has all the best equipment you could get in a Mustang of that vintage. Power windows/locks/seats, the top Mach 460 radio, keyless entry, traction control, ABS etc. It's just today even base cars come with a level of equipment that's leagues above what the top trims offered 20+ years ago. You can't get manual windows, manual locks, etc, in a Mustang anymore. Actually, I don't think you could get manual windows/locks in a Mustang back then either even on the base models.
