Things I hate about my 03 SVT Cobra......nothing....it does everything that I want it to...and after owning it for almost 18 years...I’ve come to know all of its idiosyncrasies...just a blast to drive...while everyone else was trading theirs in for the latest greatest...not me...I knew it was something special when I bought it...so I will never get tired of it....

I was gifted my grandfather's '00 gt black on black vert, after he passed. Almost at 200k miles, all original. I love Lucille. She's been great to me.

I've always wanted a New edge Mustang since I was a kid went with a V6 to save on insurance (only $4 per month to add it to my policy) knowing it wouldn't have the power I wanted I took the 3.8 V6 and turned it into a 4.2 V6 marring parts from the f150 V6 swapped over a lot of GT and Bullit parts as well. It now puts out closer to 275hp and can keep up with my 2003 Subaru WRX on the track. It is defiantly a great platform to build a cheap track day car.

The infamous door panel..drives me nuts lol other than that my interior has held up pretty decent for an o2.. Like new

Do you know I was starting to think that I was one of the few people that actually love the new edge mustang yeah I know it’s not the most powerful thing in the world but it’s a sporty car, it’s not a status symbol, it’s not a race car It’s a commuter car that’s designed to carry two adults and maybe two small kids or get you groceries and or get you around town or to work etc. but people are screwing up the mustang by expecting it to be more exotic sports car like because I’ll tell you one thing that my car can do that a Porsche or a Ferrari or a Lamborghini cannot do fit into my budget or I can Park it anywhere at the mall and not worry about it or I can afford the insurance on it or you can get parts for it anywhere and I never have to hear if you can afford this car you can afford the repair bill Big shot!

Your very right I own a 97 Gt and when it came out it was a fun quick not fast but quick car. I always thought it was until I bought a Mach 1 then I realized how slow it was. But in the late 99 - 00 era it was a cool car and it still is just needs a coyote swap. Honestly sn95 and always the new edge will be my favorite Mustang

My timing chain just blew out on mine so if you are going to get one listen to engine very closely because for a month before it blew you could hear a small rattling noise

I have a 2003 mustang gt and it has257,852 miles and the interior is good and still runs like a champ

I really enjoy my 2000 GT. Has 4.10 gears, Moroso rear axles, BC coilovers, tubular front a arms and rear arms. Brake kit upgrades, BBK intake, long tubes, X pipe, aftermarket coils, and 315s in the back, such a fun car and pretty peppy!

Honestly I still love the 2v more then the 3v or 4v because it just sounds so damn good

I took "Natasha" out just a couple of hours ago and it was like the first time all over again. She is a B-A-UTIFUL White on White 2000 GT Cobra R Clone with $20,000+ in MODS...Vortech V2 SQ--Kenny Brown Full Road Race Suspension and Body/Frame mods--Cobra Brakes--Aluminum Drive Shaft--FR500 Concept car Leather Interior (1 of 94 Mustangs w/this mod)--Ford Racing "C" springs--Tokico 5 way Shocks/Struts...etc...12.5@111 and 171+ at Talladega (by GPS) on the back straight!! Lap times within 8 seconds of Mustang Challenge Race Cars at Barbers Motorsport Park Road Race Track. She is a keeper!!!!!!!

Love all your videos you've helped me through alot with my 04 GT keep up the good work. Your brother has made a video on my car which was an HONOR

The door panels broke on my 00' GT Spring Edition several times! The motor was definitely a hoss, 275k miles and still cranked up after several wrecks!! I daily drove it 45 minutes to work and raced it on the weekends!

Love your collection. I do have a 99 GT that I pulled out of a guy's yard. And has been working on. Thanks for you input and advice.

Wow 9:20 beautiful shot! You make me want to drive my 03 cobra more often haha Ima take it out for a spin tomorrow

I have a 2004 GT with a rebuild transmission with shift kit, 373 rear end, full top end and 93 octane tune. For street it does awesome but it is no hi-performance machine. I do love that it can move when needed buy it definitely can't be competitive against the newer muscle cars. Easy to work on and parts are plentiful. Door panel leather is pealing, only issue with the interior For a Florida car it's entire life the leather seats have held up well! I give the car a 7 out of 10. It needs paint bad(there was a recall on certain paint codes, Oxford White was one of them).

First car was an 04 gt. At 16 with no mechanical know how, it was such a great and simple car to work on. I to this day miss that thing

I cant wait to get out of my old accord and get into a new edge

Just sub'd bro, keep that "new edge" content rolling(literally)👍🏾

Very nice collection! Best looking mustang ever made imo

I love new edges. I owned a 2001 GT that I wrecked. I now have an 03 cobra. My favorite body style.

Hi Danny, like your channel. I've recently bought a 2000 Mustang Coupe V6/AT in Silver Metallic code YN and has 50949 miles. I'm the second owner and have the complete history with the car and the maintenance records from the previous owner. I also own a 1981 Fox-Mustang Hatchback with L6/AT in Medium Blue Metallic Glow and has 27395 miles and had being parked in 2010 till it was put on sale in 2017. Both cars are unmolested original exports and sold true a well known car dealer called Hessing (no longer in business) in The Netherlands. If you like i can send a personal message with photos. Keep up the channel and don't forget the V6's... Greetings and have a nice day, ERIK.

One other thing I hate is how the seatbelts retract, my gt and cobra have the same problem

Man my worst pet peeve is that one day my friend removed the shifter Colunm to check what shifter I had and once he put it back in the colunm never lined up straight again lol

Thanks for the info I’ve been looking into a weekend/project car and they seem to be perfect as they’re reliable and easy to work on and the nice ones are still affordable! All of the other American sports cars from this time period have expensive pricey!

I bought me a 01 cobra.. 106k miles.. love every bit of it.

Great video I had a 203 V6 vert and now have a 1999 GT. Got lots of great info from this video! Just starting to modify mine now. :)

All really good points. The difference of the Terminator rods VS the run of the mill rods ford used is amazing. I screen shot that to post it to FB later lol

Have 02 white 5 speed gt 76000 miles. Interior is perfect outside perfect sve wheels lowered full exhaust every performance mod besides turbo or supercharger. Only thing that pisses me off is the wheel hop and the parking brake button rattles like hell. Black duck tape fixed that problem temporarily til I can try to find a new one. Don’t want a cover want the whole parking brake assembly. Good videos 🤘🏼

Just bought a 04 mach 1, cars low miles @14k.I've still got to do a few bits regarding rubber rot. But for a 20 year old car I can't fault it. Even though I've got to order all my parts from you guys in the states, that's no hassle either.

Danny, you have no idea how much I love to hear you talk about my car ('03 GT, 5 speed) whether good, or bad! Keep up the good work!

Super helpful thinking of getting one as my first car

I just bought my first car a few months ago and it’s a silver and black 2001 mustang base and this video is actually extremely helpful on things I wanna customize and change bc of fords small faults

Got an 04 GT anniversary edition.. somehow got it this year in almost mint condition. door panel same as the other 6 GTS before it.. lowered to fix gaps..

I just love my 04 Mustang GT convertible

I love my 2004 Limited Edition 40th Anniversary GT. Yeah she is Old School but love her none the less.

I was blown away when the 99 came out, i liked how they kept the mustang look but made it look more muscular

Ahhh, I'm about to be on my 4th mustang gt build. It will be the second build to break over 400hp with stock internals. The 2v loves boost. Get a 2v gt, centrifugal supercharger, intercooler, run a few pounds of boost and you're good. Obviously, open the exhaust as well. But these are great cars. I love them.

Working on modding my 2nd '99 Cobra. You must replace the seats if you are building a curve-killer. There is very little bolster to hold your butt and back square in the seat.

I still own my mustang since I bought it new in 1998 and that you hit the nail on the head with center console. Man what a stupid design. After years of opening and closing it finally broke, and I upgraded to the 01 design and I took it a step further by grinding off the clip. Not to mention the two previous idiot designs with the first cup holder in the way of the shifter. Another thing, I don’t know why Ford insisted in having a super long antenna and not a shorter style one from factory. I also eliminated by having the body shop shave it and STILL get great signal. Great video! 🤙🏼

Not everybody who buys a Mustang wants a performance car. I bought a completely stock 2003 V6/auto in Zinc Yellow, with an optional spoiler, beautiful condition, a 9 1/2 out of 10, 68K miles, mostly because I just wanted a 2 door rear wheel drive American car with a solid rear axle. Those are almost impossible to find without going back to the '70s, and I didn't want an unreliable project car. It certainly didn't hurt that it looked great, my neighbor has a very late model Subaru BRZ, and I think my 2003 Mustang looks a lot better. Mine has the open rear end (I don't do burnouts in it) with the 2:73 ratio, which is great for cruising down the highway at 1500 rpm. Makes for a long lasting under stressed engine and great mpg. It did come with 16" wheels and new tires, but I have located a set of 15" wheels from a 1999 model, and when the tires wear out I will be installing those on it so I can have wider sidewalls. I may even be able to find RWL 15" tires to fit.

I do appreciate this video I just bought one so everything I'm learning about cars starts off with my 2000 mustang babies as old as me

I have one a mustang GT 8 cilinder 1999 color is yellow and I like drivin it to work everyday.

My big complaint is the front seats, I wish they were lower in the car and more like the 05 + seats. My 03 Mach1 passenger seat is like new but the driver seat needs to be fixed. It has some rips in the bolster as they all do. Great info on this video. Thanks Danny!👍

I got mine with 32,000 miles. One time I went to pull the door closed, the entire panel came off.

this is a lot of help, i plan to get one this summer 2021 after i graduate and all this is perfect to know, ill definitely be looking at your other videos once i get one cuz i dont plan on leaving it stock for long lol

I appreciate the video. Gave some insight for me. Wanting to purchase a new edge GT. Coming from the turbocharged 4banger culture haha.

I have my 2002 Ford mustang v6 3.8 and I love it. Thank you for the video.

I had a 2003 GT and the only thing that I didn’t care for was the fake hood scoop. Too bad I found out about the Mach 1 after I bought the GT. I later bought a new 2006 Mustang GT and loved it. My son has it now and I’m on to a 2018 GT, but someday would love to get an 03 Mach 1 in azure blue!

you can fix that bumper wave with a firm push down on the passenger side. It should snap back into place and align a bit nicer. had this same issue on pretty much ever new edge i've owned

Yea your right , I have a 2001 Cobra SVT , had to retire my car as a Daly driver now I can get up grades on a make it faster .

Hi Danny, Great video. I just bought a 2001 Mustang Cobra Convertible in Australia. Its done 224,000 kms which is about 139,000 miles. Some of my friends tried to talk me out of it because of issues with timing chainds/ guides etc but the car has had a life of doing a lot a long highway miles around australia and it has beeen well maintained from what i see. Anyhow, I haven't received it yet as a friend of mine picked it up in another state yesterday. Can't wait to fly up and drive it home about 600 miles and see how it goes. Will look out for some of the issues you highlight here and will be looking at more of your videos to learn more about these cars. Cheers! Sam

Great video, very informative.

I have an 03 200+ miles but still hooks up like a beast

Nice looking mustangs!

That's why my V6 Mustang the 1st thing I did was put a dual exhaust. And another thing that I added was Fog lights.

Yeah, my 92 CV 4.6 is leaking into the rear passenger sparkplug hole. As long as I keep the level low in the overflow, I'm good for now. I eventually would like to transfer the engine to a v6 mustang after a refresh and some performance parts.

Those Typhoon intake had alot of potential. I'll take an 03 or 04 GT with every bolt on and get every suspension piece from maximum motorsports and go autocross.

I love your New Edge Mustang videos. Which differential gear ratio do you think should have come in the 2001 Cobra?

My door panels that you said crack and come loose, mine are still in tact and original.

Thanks for the video!

I love my 1999 Mustang GT in Crystal White. I would love to get a 2004 Cobra. I’ve seen a few Mach 1s but I rather use that money for a Cobra.

Those old 4.6 2Vs with 260hp and 302lb ft of torque get too much hate. They are one of the most reliable engines Ford ever made, there are literally parts available everywhere for them, they werent really that underpowered for the time period and they can be built to 300+whp engines reliably that's in a 3200lb car. I've owned 4 new edge cars....a 2000v6, 01, gt, 04gt, and 03 cobra, and they are easily my favorite mustangs out of the newer model years, and more importantly they NEVER left me stranded and hurt some feelings back in the day as well. I had 473whp and 464wtq in my cobra with just a pulley swap, intake, exhaust and tune, and my 01 gt made 307whp and 334wtq with full bolt ons, exhaust and tune, and had 4.10 gears in it. Took the back seats out and a few other weight reduction things. It would slap my stepbrothers 98 z28 from a dig and a roll, but his car was also a stock auto and mine had those mods and was a 5 speed manual. Wish I could find a low mileage 99-04 gt right now with under 50k miles

Hey Danny, it’s been a while, but the next time you wanna open that center console, make sure it’s opened from the front. Rest your forearm and relax it as normal, put fingers directly in the front, and pull it open as if you were opening a book that’s resting on a big laz-e boy arm rest. It just makes more sense and opens as intended, I used to open it that way on my GT and low and behold it came off, 3 years later it’s curved and disformed. Now with some moisturizing of the foam and some elbow grease for the original fit and it’s holding up just as it did from factory. That’s when the enlightenment of the correct way to open it came about haha

My 04 developed camshaft phaser noise....likely 1st owner oil maint? But engine was real clean. Now I have a 99 Cobra, pristine 2 owner, spotless underneath, except someone swapped out 3:27s for 4:11.. It got the upgrade back in 2000, but guess it still wasn't up to expectations. Has roughly 15,000 miles!!! I don't care about the speed, I want my hi-way mileage back. Bought OEM ring and pinion from Ford. Thanks for the videos!!!

I have an 89 notch , 92 hatch and an 03 GT convertible manual. All great cars . I want to lower the 03 and do gears . I have never done a rear end in all my 45 years of mechanical work

Great video

Just found a 2000 Gt for $3.5 K only 77 thousand miles 😁, going on a test drive tomorrow

I drove a few of these with the auto . The engines were punchy but not overwhelming . But I found the shifter positioning really odd .

Everyone wants to lower the suspension. I get the look and all that jazz, but my last gt was always scraping on speed bumps and wouldn’t do it again.

I daily a Oxford white 04 auto mach1 love it

Any preference on springs that will lower the mustang a little without sacrificing "rise quality"?

The good ol new edge. The only way to quiet down the rattling interior is to make the exhaust louder 😂

Velcro tape works wonders on the door pulls.

Also...my car looks as good now as the day I bought it...7/22/04......35,553 mi...

My interior literally has every issue you just talked about LMAO. Just bought it a few days ago. Got lots of parts ordered for it to fix it up

Just bought a 2001 DHG BULLITT....love it so far. Has 4.10s and is a great driver with 90K and blemishes...like you said for the year it was built it is nice....sounds super mean with the better exhaust and intake. I am wondering about your plastic intake comments on the GT intake. Does the BULLITT intake have the plastic too? Haven't looked yet.

i hate how the leather seats sit so high. love the cloth for some reason seems more bucketish

Got my eyes on a GT series of this era myself

Bought a 2000 black gt march 2019, 25 k original on the clock. A few flaws here and there.....got rid of the second set of tires it had....245 45 17s, installed 255 55 17s....what a difference! Drives like a dream now. What is normal oil usage for the 4.6?

I have a 04 Crimson Red GT with 45000 miles, but I want a Terminator!

sure wish someone would post a how to do gauge sweep on 2003 mustang cobra and keep it on start ups

I don't love the 1994-2004 interior but I have found that some billet accessories go a long way to break up all of that 90's plastic. With all the billet, my only real complaint for my 2003 Cobra is the ugly giant airbag. Would love a much smaller and round airbag like 2005+ Mustangs. NOTHING dates the car as bad as that 1994 airbag. I'm not going to sacrifice my safety for a little bit better looking aftermarket wheel with no airbag. I will probably go for a carbon fiber rim eventually which will help with the appearance a bit.

Where did you get the yellow door cups. Mannnn I've been looking for some red ones for my 02 gt

Any idea what a garage kept perfect condition 2004 gt with 22,000mls is worth in todays market? 5 speed manual, Cobra/Sallen upgrade package from dealer which includes cobra tires/wheels, Sallen spoiler, black racing stripes over Performance Red paint. Lowering springs, upgraded pulleys, K&N CAI. Brand new Michelin all season high performance tires.

After 20+ years my 01 Cobra has been incredibly fun and comfortable to drive. With our bad Pa roads the clearance is needed, especially when you get it airborne, like me It's very warm in cold winters. The dealer broke my door pull when they fixed the power window The only thing that ever broke was a connecting rod Anybody have a spare motor?

I have 2003 soinc blue mustang gt 5 speed spark plug shot out but I love it 200k

I just got a 2004 GT. Has anyone had problems with moisture inside on the backglass and side windows? I replaced the weather stripping on the passenger's side and that's helped a bit, I'm about to do the driver's side. Hopefully that will seal it up. The trunk seems high on one side and might not be sealing on the gasket all the way.

😎👍✔ just picked 1 up...!!!!

I own a 2003 Mach 1. My only problem has been the A/C . Sometimes it throws cold air and in other occasions it throws it warm. That's the only mayor problem. Otherwise it has been a great pony.

I got a 2001 base model with 3.8 v6. It has 246000 miles on the motor. I live in California. What would be the best v8 to swap into it that I won't have to mortgage the house to do.

Now I feel bad that I own a 2002 GT. If I were still a 20-something I'd consider getting a faster car or supercharging the 02 or doing a coyote swap. From your review I take it that the 4.6 won't hold up too well with a supercharger. So, what's your take on doing the coyote swap? I'd like to lower the body but that looks like it'll cost a "few" bucks. But my 02 still turns heads. A higher gear ratio would be nice too.

If you use the front of the console lid to open it where the spot is for that, the lid won’t tear….

I welded the differential on my v6 and now its my daily drift car 🙂

Yea it’s not a perfect car or 4.6 but it’s definitely worth the buy mine is almost finished an I love it

A sports car that has ground clearance as CUV? I'd take it.

ive always hated the stock ride hide lol.

I’m having kind of a weird problem with my 03 gt right now, I’m pretty sure it started after I replaced the airbag clock spring but whenever my door is open it dings even with no key in the ignition. Any ideas of what it is or a fix?

My complaint is that somewhere in the headliner is a small rattle that goes away only when I put my hand on it

Your preaching to the choir brother, as i also believe that all GT's should have had the dohc engine. But with 3k in mods my 04 GT will pull away rather quickly. I love my Little convertible
