#Ford #Mustang #NewEdge #MustangGT #TheDutchTexan
This is what a mustang should be. An "affordable" pony car. Todays mustang has become an BMW M4 chaser and a price to match.
Todays Mustang can actually compete with a BMW.
I absolutely LOVE the design of the new edge mustang, especially with the mach 1 chin spoiler which really completes the front end
Styling wise the Mach with the Terminator Cobra front bumper is peak! If I ever end up in one that would be it probably!
I'm getting a beautiful azure blue 2004 gt deluxe with 68k miles and 4:10 gears tomorrow, it's an auto but it's got a shift kit to. I wanted a 5sp but I went with this one because my wife can drive it to ....had a 97 v6 in hs so I love these cars they bring back good memories and put a smile on the face (oh yeh it's got a cobra bumper to !)
Finally someone who sees the new edge mustang like I do. Fun cheap good reliable cars :)
Hopefully they'll be cheap again, every used car, even New Edges are priced above where they should be at the moment. 2022 has been crazy with the price of things sadly...
@@TheDutchTexan :( right used to be cheap
I just bought a gorgeous Electric Green 99 Mustang GT convertible manual transmission car with 70,000 miles for $8,800. I think I got a great deal.
this guys excitement from a new edge mustang was very entertaining. Nice video, great camera work too.
Some cars tickle my fancy. This is one of them! And thank you for the props on the camera work, I try my best to capture the best of every car I film, be it at a show or a review!
Im 22 and bought a 2000 this last week, super fun its my first manual car
Congratulations! Do you have any plans for it?
@@TheDutchTexan thanks! No set plans, it’s completely stock though and i want a lot done to it I just don’t want to put too much money into it. I think wheels first then exhaust. Its a blue convertible
A ‘Vert! That’s cool! Get to ride with the top down which is always a nice experience IMHO! And wheels make the car. It is the single one modification that can turn it into something completely different!
@@TheDutchTexan hell yeah perfect for FL, any suggestions for wheels?
Dang, so many... Bullitt wheels look good, especially with some lip in the back (staggered). I also absolutely LOVE the Classic CCW’s but those wheels are SUPER expensive!
My 03 V6 auto (also in white) still catches people off guard with its 197 hp. it has 280k miles on it and it does not give a single s**t. I would not hesitate to drive it cross country. I recently did a rack and pinions and pump with lines as the old one was leaky, also no more 90s ford PS pseudo supercharger lol. I love it and still drive it like im 16 even tho i am 23.
My wife's was a 1999 V6 and I remember driving it back from the Dallas Autoshow a long time ago with my brother-in-law. We got stuck at a light next to a V6 charger. He went for it, so did we. And the 99 just pulled on him. It probably was a 2.7 V6 which was a thing for the Chargers back in the day. SUPER slow.
I do remember the V6 being a torquey little bugger. It had plenty of grunt even at higher speeds.
Still have it?
the quality of the video and it’s editing seem like this channel should have atleast 100,000 subs great review
You know what? I was thinking the same thing... tell your friends to check out my channel! LOL
Thank you so much for the props. There is a lot of time invested in these reviews so reading comments like yours really puts a smile on my face.
Its awful!!!
Never gets old.
Agreed!
I love my 02’ GT I got it almost a year ago with only 60k miles completely bone stock for 6k! I’ve been adding some mods since and it’s a blast to work on as well.
That's the way to do it! They are rare in good and unmolested condition with not too many miles.
Teach me your ways 😂People are listing these things with 170k miles for 7k+ 💀
Mane 😂
Absolutely love these cars. I’m 18 and my first car was and is a 2001 BMW 540i. I considered the GT but couldn’t find one at the right price.
The E39 is without a doubt the pinnacle of BMW styling! And you still got that V8 sound!
@@TheDutchTexan Yeah it’s a beautiful car for sure. Such a timeless design and has a good amount of features for being a 20 year old car as well as good safety. Looking to get a muffler delete soon so I can hear the roar of the V8 😂. Great videos tho keep them coming :)
I am planning to! I hope you get that exhaust so you can make the noise!
I can't afford the v8, but I do have a 2001 v6 , bought it with 150,000 miles from an older lady, interior still like new!
My wife had a 99 V6 and it ran fine! And you got the styling to boot!
Im a fox owner and I want one of these.
Tune, exhaust, gears and a drop. That's it.
what’s a drop
Easy way for saying “lowering the car”!
Great review brother! I myself have a 98 Mustang GT (Daily Driver - 260K Miles) and a 2004 Mustang GT (Weekend - 135K Miles)...Love them both! And YES they both bring a smile to my face every time! My father when I was growing up had a 85 Peugeot 505TD ...Keep up the GREAT work!! 😀😀
Amazing job on the review! She’s never looked better, (except for when she rolled out of the factory) the hard work you put in this really shows, it looks great! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
It was a ton of fun shooting that day! Thanks again!
It's a very interesting perspective seeing a Dutch native living in America!
You know what got me into V8's though? Mad Max of all things. And that is an aussie movie.
I use to own one I give it to my brother as a gift he sell it he didn’t tell me if not I buy it back from him am going to buy one like this one thank you for reviving my memories with this car
My pleasure! Always great to see people have memories with cars. I sure do! I hope you get to buy a new one and make more!
My first automotive love when i was 16. Especially in silver.
I have the exact same model but a 2002 with 52k miles...had it since 2005...love it
Great review. These cars should not be taken all that serious, they are fun and loud. Add some suspension upgrades like control arms, lowering springs, and some gears, it's a riot!
Ironically the first New Edge I reviewed was a Terminator Cobra... But I would love to review a Mach or a Manual GT in the future.
ive got an 03 gt 5 spd, full bolt ons, 3.73 gears, cams and tuned, if youd like to review that (;
@@terminator7565 is 3.73 geaes what youd recommend? I see people going 4.10 but I feel like thats a lil overkill for a nice and practical FBO build
@@Vntichrist i say 3.73 is your best bet in a mild build. not too short or long of a gear, but it is personal prefrence
@@terminator7565 can you post a vid of the car or share your instagram I’d like to see it
I’ve had mine for 17 years.. love it.. you’re not gonna win many races.. with today’s cars.. but fun to drive .. V3 Vortech ! 😎🙌🏼
I Have A 04 Convertible Blacked Out! 120000 miles runs strong and I Still get Compliments on her.
They are becoming rare man! They used to be everywhere but now more and more just end up crashed or junked.
The car when lowered and with the right wheels this car will be timeless… I would know I own one
Every time I review a car I really like it makes me want to buy one. But man, the used car market is crazy right now. And finding a good one? That’s going to be a challenge!
@@TheDutchTexan why do you say that? I also live in Texas
The only thing you have to do is open Facebook marketplace and you’ll find these New Edges with crazy mileage or body damage going for far too much money right now in 2022. The market is due for a correction and that will be the time to buy (unless you get really lucky).
@@TheDutchTexan I feel that
I bought my 2002 GT when it was new. I like the car despite it not having quick acceleration. I plan on changing that by adding a Vortech V3 supercharger this month. I might even bump up the rear axle gears to 3.5. A lot cheaper than buying a new Mustang model. I like the fact that the car turns heads still. Only 80k miles on my pony.
They are becoming rare in good condition now!
Always will be my dream car. My uncle had an EG 2v Auto and it had a weird personality. Some days you floored it and it took its time to build up, some other days you floored it and had the moves and shredded tires. How much I miss that car. One day very soon I hope to get one
The time is in the next few years for sure!
My 2002 GT has 245k on original tr3650 transmission and motor. Just now doing timing chains next week. Runs like a top still
Those 2v's are stout engines!
Awesome to hear cause I’m about to pick up a very mint 04 GT 2v with 170k miles
The algorithm has chosen you.
It seems so... Where did you come across it?
Nice review ! I have a 2004 GT convertible with 5 spd manual. All stock except for MGW shifter and Mgna flow mufflers. These cars give a lot of bang for the buck. I only paid $4,000 for it 4 years ago ! Its in very good shape, and i still get compliments on it...
They are rare to find clean out and about anymore! Turned 20 this year!
I miss my 99 GT so much. I loved the 35th anniversary emblem. I took it from stock 14s to 10s in the 1/4 still on 93 octane. It was published in 02/04 Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords because of the experimental turbo system. I spent 5 figures building it, but it was a labor of love. I am trying to by another so I can build it with my sons.
That is so cool! I love stories like that. 10 second turbo terror? Did a quick search to see if I could find the article after seeing the cover but no such luck.
@@TheDutchTexan Thats it. 10 Second Turbo Terror. That was my car. It had a TDC Turbo system that wasn't released to the market yet. They did an article on me as well.
Awesome stuff! Stuff of legend. Heck, it still would be taking names today!
Still love the look at that rear end , I’ve seen some beautiful 2004 low mileage GT’s in a bunch of colours, White ,Black & red that were kept in mint shapes with tasteful upgraded exhaust work and a few other things for bargain prices considering how nice they sound and how solid they are. Great video for anyone who doesn’t want to break the bank but still wants to hear and in some cases feel some V8 goodness.
Great review brotha…
I appreciate it, it was fun to shoot!
I bought my 01 Mustang GT back in 2016 when I had gotten out of High School. It still is a fun car to drive and hasn't had any major problems with it now having about 117k miles on it.
I picked up an 03 at 59k miles about 6 months ago & loved it from the start but the automatic was driving me nuts.. these cars are just meant to be manual! So I pulled a 5 speed from an 01 and swapped it out and couldn’t be happier. Just made me fall in love with the car so much more. Now I’m working on the suspension. It’s all factory so very tired and noisy..
Reviewed a manual with 3.73's and that is the ticket right there!
What was all needed for the manual swap?
Keep the reviews coming!
I got 3 more in the "vault" so I need to get to editing those and then shooting some new ones! Hopefully the car community provides!
Watching the video, I felt like I was just driving around my neighborhood. Turns out, a lot of this appears to be shot in McKinney . . . aka, my neighborhood. lol
Own a red 04 with 55k miles on it, full exhaust, headers/xpipe
Fun car, I enjoy it, hope to put more $ into it
Sounds like a riot and pretty loud as well!
@@TheDutchTexan yeah! Haha, even more so because there's nothing left inside the cats lol
It's a 5speed, and a fishtail machine if you feel like it. It's a visceral experience when you get into it,
Would love to add more aftermarket to it!
New owner of a 2002 GT Convertible completely bone stock. Really fun!
For sure! Plenty of power!
I love my 01 Gt!
As you should!
One of my favorite car sounds
Great Review! It was fun listening to you reminisce about your wife`s past mustang.
Thank you! And yes, it was a little bit of a torque monster. Ran good for what it was.
@@TheDutchTexan that's cool man. Im checking out your other vids now, im digging your channel. 👍
I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy your time on this little slice of CZcams!
Love the video, clean stang. I have a black 03 GT. I'm 63. Still having fun with it.
Keep driving! I am planning to do the same myself and hope my 2005 Mustang will still be in my garage too!
that trans does sounds exactly like a grand marquis
I remember it well! It’s pretty much the same trans, it just has to push a whole lot less weight around and the rear end ratio is a lot better on a Mustang.
I got be a 5speed new edge and added nitrous it’s definitely a under dog love it
Great car I am getting one next month 2004 Ford mustang runs great 😃😸 you know how to drive the car stay safe
Good positive review. Nice job. Cool GT
Thank you! Not a fan of breaking down cars and comparing them 1:1 with the new cars. Wouldn’t be fair. You got to take a step back in time and adjust your expectations. I also “feel” the aura of a car. And the New Edge has all the feels for me!
Put 410 gears in my 2001 gt and its a completely different animal haha nice video though!👍
Gears wake them up for sure! I used to own a grand marquis with 2.73's, I had to drive 80 to get to 2K rpm in that thing... This one probably had 3.27's which is a good mix of go and still revving below 2K rpm at 60.
Thanks for watching it! I really appreciate it!
@@TheDutchTexan that's crazy low rpm I sit really high in the rpms with OD off and hop from gas station to gas station lol but its worth it plan on doing mild cams instead of aggressive.. so just stepped high with the gear haha have a great day man🤙
I loved cruising in her, but she was a dog inside city limits. In a Mustang that gearing is way too low though! I like the 3.55’s in my 2005 but I have been thinking about 4.10’s...
@@TheDutchTexan 410s are great I almost went 373 but I'd rather keep the mph down in a race and the 410 top out without a tune at 135ish I believe and gets there quick and once you are rolling even 15mph traction isn't bad pairs really well with auto trans too
@@TheDutchTexan for manual trans people usually stay around like 308-373 but 410s are a good time with traction lol
I remember these...I used to tear into them in my 1994 25th Anniversary Trans-Am and 2002 Firehawk Trans-Am. Just don't mention the 03-04 Cobra those cars didn't exist. That damn H-pipe made those cars sound so good. It's a shame Ford didn't get serious about power until 2003...
Addendum- My first car was a 1995 Ford Taurus SHO that I traded it in 1996 for my 1994 25th Anniversary Trans-Am. I was only 17 and talk about a chick magnet...
Love the TransAms too! And you had a SHO? Talk about having a car that hurt feelings back in the day!
@@TheDutchTexan
Yeah the Taurus was a fun car. It always went down like this...
Honda Civic- "Look at this idiot in the mommy car."
Me: With a big Cheshire Cat grin- "Let's see what you got..."
After gapping him by 3 car lengths.
Honda Civic: "What the Hell is that?!"
Me: "That's a Ford Taurus SHO. When you see those 3 big letters go the other direction." ;)
Addendum- Oh and I love the Mustangs as well. I was always disappointed that Ford didn't try to take GM on until the 03 Cobra. It was like, that's it, now you really pissed me off. Oh and have a Lightning too.
New edge is beautiful, cool video
I appreciate it! Thank you!
This might be my 1st car
Not a bad choice! It’s fun!
I own a 2004 GT just like this white one, whit a four-speed automatic. It has about 62K miles and runs just fine. It truly is a Mustang in it's own right. I owned a white 1990 GT with a manual gearbox years ago and the clutch was jusr too heavy in city traffic. This 2004 is the most affordable fun car you can get today!
Absolutely amazing love the car and the editing is incredible for this video!
Thank you! I try my best to edit it all together at the end of the day and your comment makes me very happy!
@@TheDutchTexan No problem keep up the great work my man you deserve more subs!
I hope to see 100K one day. That is the ultimate stretch goal!
@@TheDutchTexan You got it I have confidence
I appreciate it!
Very knowledgeable on the car, good video. You got a sub from me buddy
Thank you! I love Mustangs, the older they get the cooler they get!
@@TheDutchTexan that’s right! I’m still in love with my 05 GT 5speed after having her for 3 years
Love the video. Love the Car. I have 2, 1 Zinc yellow convertible, And a Oxford white gt!
Looking for a first car , My final battle was between a Toyota Celica, 98 Eclipse GST ,and 04 Mustang GT
Feel like this makes it top
They’re a lot of fun!
Nice review and great editing. Subbed ✌️
looking forward to future content!
I appreciate it! I got a ton of reviews I have already done so you can check them out as well if you’d like!
Great content man🤙
I appreciate it!
i'd love to see you review a 3.5 accord V6MT
I’d be all about that actually! Haven’t gotten someone who offered theirs up though!
Amazing car, Ive been looking for a 14-17 v6 manual coupe and they are hard to find if you dont have extra $$$. Gonna go check out a 04 GT with 120k miles on it for 5.8-6k
Comment for the analytics LOL!
Give me MOOOOOOORE! Crazy how this video out of all of them gets chosen by the algorithm. I am still taking it though! Thanks again for letting me drive and review it. Without the community this channel wouldn't exist in the way it does!
I have been thinking of buying one
Same!
Seeing this makes me regret selling my 03 GT.
You can always get another one down the line although they are getting harder and harder to find in good condition with not too many miles on them.
You can come buy mine it's a convertible
You can come buy my 2003 convertible GT
@@larrypowell8107 got photos? You could email me?
Every guy who sold their mustang regrets it haha. I’m glad I still have mine. 5 speed manual GT with 4.10 gears.
This is the best and my favorite body style 😉I'm just a tad bit jealous. Beautiful car tho my friend
It’s pretty cool a teenager has a car like that IMHO. Although I believe he has a 7.3 diesel truck now.
Lmao ! I had a 2001 gt ten years ago !i planned on owning it till i died! T-boned a minivan and totaled it! Not at fault by the way! Bought a 2002 automatic v6 and sold it for double what i paid ! I recently got a blown head gasket on my pickup and was in a rush to find a car! Found a midlife crisis mobile! A bright yellow 5 speed mustang gt for $4k cheapest thing i had seen in weeks of looking! Brand new interior! New short throw shifter! New off road H pipe with flow master tips! Couldn't find a better deal so i bought it! Funny thing is when i ran a carfax it came up bullitt! When i got insurance it came up bullitt ! It has definitely been painted and motor swapped! But still a bullitt chassis! Paint not perfect! Interior perfect! Still in shock of the price i paid of $4k and 110k miles! All my coworkers are constantly looking at me like i need help!
Goed bezig!
Bedankt! Altijd leuk Nederlanders op mijn kanaal!
I am buying same one for 5999 115k miles.thanks for the review
Not a problem! I hope you enjoy it!
Takeaway from the video: The aftermarket’s gotchu
Pretty good takeaway I think!
Love it I looked at 2003 Ford mustang gt deluxe one owner 182996 . Miles
So cool!
Sending it
When the road is clear the foot goes down!
@@TheDutchTexan lol 😂, same here
Hahahahaha I know you are enjoying the new edge 4.sick. I am enjoying my 4.sickness too the worst thing ford did was to change the engine spending time and money creating the 4.sic they should have improved the 5.0 for the new edge. I got my 04 mustang GT in 2014 automatic transmission and dark shadow gray my daily driver and still driving it in 2024 with 193,000 miles
Been looking for something on the new edges though i have the sn95. Need to know what aftermarket parts are there for the old 2v
Should have a really good selection of aftermarket parts they made a ton of stuff for pretty much every mustang but I know you can put new edge V8 pi heads on the non pi sn95 V8 block and make a higher compression ratio and more power than the new pi motor just need junkyard heads and intake manifold
Throttle body and everything from new edge would bolt on to that stuff too might would anyway not sure haha
my 04 has around 75k miles
Looks like you got some life left! This one was still going strong!
@@TheDutchTexan one of the main reason i got it was i knew these 2v last a long time :)
The one in my grand marquis ran like a top. I had to let it go because the trans went and the car just wasn’t worth the money to fix it.
I want this badly
I love my 2004 Mustang GT. The interior is nice and plain. Super easy to use and understand. I am looking at buying a brand new one. The options in the interior are so complicated to use my dealership is offering courses with any new vehicle purchase. Talk about alienating customers. Give me a break! Keep it simple stupid! The KISS philosophy works every time.
I agree with that. Less also means less stuff to break! No LCD screens, no touch buttons, none of that stuff.
please test a 2013-2016 buick verano Turbo (if you can find one, only 5000 ever built)
All my reviews are provided by the car community so who knows. Perhaps it will happen!
It's a 5 speed auto, not a 4 speed.
The 5 speed came with the s197. This gen had a 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual.
Heard the automatic shift and sighed. Ha
Still fun. And some people have limitations so they still have an option to enjoy a V8 mustang this way.
I jus hit 176k 😫😫😫
Keep trucking! Those engines (if taken care of) will run forever!
My 04 GT has 240k
My old 2v spun a rod at 180k doing 150 beat the piss out of it everyday for 5years before now it’s a full tube chassis car ahaha
She lives on!
Yal the new edge style is where the style is I like it better then the 04 to 98 style an I like the convertable style is better looking then the hard top because the convertable style look a little more square then bubbley then the hard tops an yal I gota 01 convertable cobra mustang in mineral gray with black interior an top an my car bar none of any mustangs or the other brands looks better an the engine an body look as if if just left the show room an with 122.000 miles on it will squats big time an churps 2 ND an 3 Rd without even coming close to red line an it's looks good an interior is like it's never been sat in except drivers seat an it's looks good to but the bottom is ruffled a bit an the rest is like it's never been sat in an yal just thinking put 355 s in it yal every thing else got em but the 01 cobra ford I guess just said fuk it we aren't gonna drive it but that's the only thing I'd do to it an yal its all stock I even got the original window sticker
too bad automatic
First person to comment that, probably not the last. I feel they have a place. Some people aren’t able to drive a manual (be it lack of skill or a disability) but this way they can still experience a Mustang. And IMHO it’s still fun.
I had a Cobalt SS with a stick shift along with the automatic GT. And I gotta say, they have their positives and negative’s, but in the end what could be better then an American V8 with a stick
I’m so glad I taught myself to drive stick shift. Only took me a day and a couple stalls. These ponies make good bit of torque so they’re easy to learn in. Just find a big empty parking lot.
Bro you’re in mckinney I live in mckinney haha small world
Nothing worse than a automatic in a mustang 😒
Really? I think it’s pretty awesome. Some people don’t have the skill and others have physical limitations that prevents them from driving a manual. It’s good to have options.
I used to agree untill my left keg was amputated above the knee in december. 1
10 years ago I converted to a manual, but now I might have to go back to the slushbox 😂
Damn this car looks bad..
