Hi, 21 years old v6, driven for the last 10 years in southern Germany. Your review is to the point. I have a manual one, in 225.40.18s, deleted back seats, y pipe, no sway bar to the rear. No heating isses. Not really slow compared to the 4 cilinders of Germany, but the bumpy ride in the Autobahn is really annoying. I am searching ways to make it smooth and upgrade internal door panels that are just unacceptable.
@@iliaskalomoiris1094 unfortunately it's never going to be a Lexus but surprisingly progressive rate lowering springs seem to ride smoother than the factory springs. You might want to try those, also you could try adjustable shocks and struts.
Yes man, i know, i didnt buy itvfor lexus. I installed Monroe struts and removed some eibach springs that were out if spec to install other Germans, promising to be softer. I have no body roll and super steering wheel feedback for a v6. I sprayed all pulleys with silicone spray before an interstate ride and drove somehow smoother. The motor is somehow complaining. The German autobahn on average is better quality than the us interstate, so difficult to explain to you the road feedback I get. All for all, I drive an exotic car for European standards with a fraction of the cost. Ps: next project is to install reverse camera to improve European city parking capability
When i was in high school, my dad brought me a 2003 mustang GT as my first car and it was a great first car. 260 HP is too little for a V8 engine today but if you just like the sound of the V8 but not an absolute maniac or crazy racer, this is a perfect car to cruise around in. People who bash this car talking about how slow it is are those who like to participate in these illegal street races and who likes to drive fast 💨.
Nobody has told me they are slow ,I know they are but haven't made fun of yet. Either way I would rock their face on the floor if I ever get disrespected.
@@2jjulian yall do know kids in school aren't grown men driving tuned ricers and hellcats right? for school 260 is fast compared to their stock civics and camrys
Im buying my grandpas 04 gt now and thats what i love, it sounds amazing, has enough umph to pass on the highway, doesn't chug gas, but isnt a crazy fast car its easy to cruise and drive everyday
I own a 99' GT--very fun to drive, comfortable enough to daily, parts are cheap, pretty reliable, decent gas mileage, super affordable, timeless appearence, legendary motor, and for over 21 years old, still fast.
@@carsandhobbies I just bought a 2002 I love her i like its air ram bonnet scoop and it's 4.6 V8 sounds like a dream she's heavy in the clutch but I can get used to that excellent car wish I bought one years ago
@@carsandhobbies the infamous intake manifold... the radiator... MGW short shifter just because i heard so many great things about it. The next thing on the list is the clutch and everything related to it. I replaced the drive shaft with a ford racing aluminum driveshaft amd it feels smoother.
Oh amd i have a miss fire with no code thrown. So ima replace all coils with SOS (sultan of spark) coils from performance distributors. Expensive but they are worth it. I had one on a 5.0 foxbody and it makes a big difference. Dyno proven to add 5HP. I know its not a lot but horspower just from coils... goes to show how good they are.
Man Brother, you sound like a younger guy, Im 48 and it was refreshing to hear a younger guy giving out spot on info!! I agree 100% on all points. Im so tired of crap info being put out about these cars. These guys always bagging on these engines being weak etc. They make great power for the time and ultra reliable, durable and the sound, cant be matched! Power is easily added with small turbo and some tuning, and I mean some serious power!Your getting in the mile range where you can start updating front end parts etc to get back its new handling feel. The long time warmup is common we have 3 and they are all the same. Its easy nowadays to talk smack about speed when young guys go out and take out 600+ dollar car note and then brag how they can smoke you. Its another thing to buy a 20 year old car with cash and learn how to turn a wrench and improve on something with your own two hands. The process is rewarding and most dont get that. It also takes some skill to drive one of these efficiently. I have a near stock 01 Bullitt that puts out 300 at the crank, my Bullitt is a handful to keep on the road even with 315s at the rear. Ive driven numerous new vehicles and they are awesome but extremely tame even with big horsepower. Driving these old manual stangs is a blast! Go for the 410 gears, I have them in mine and they are fantastic! Thumbs up on the vid👍👍
Yessir absolutely! For $5000 I was able to get a v8, manual transmission and a great looking car with less than 100k to go with it, you cant get better that! Yeah you're definitely right about the suspension so far I've replaced all for shocks and struts, ball joints, rear upper control arms and diff bushings and added lowering springs! I love this car so much and lucky I've been able to do all the work myself!
I also have an 01 bullit I daily drive it's got 140,000 miles on it still running strong! man you're right though the thing is bumpy ash! I absolutely love the car
@ 2RCProductions: Re: "Ive driven numerous new vehicles and they are awesome but extremely tame even with big horsepower. Driving these old manual stangs is a blast!" Right on, brother! I now own a 2013 Mustang GT 5.0L Coyote motor, which is an absolute beast - but I still sometimes miss my 1996 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V hardtop. Why? For many of the reasons you mention. Those cars are not fast by today's standards, but you really feel and enjoy the experience of driving them. They sound great. Many times over the life of my Mustang - which had after-market Flowmasters on it and was otherwise bone-stock - I had guys like Corvette owners telling me how great my car sounded. I am currently hunting for a decent-quality 1998 Cobra, which I intend to super-charge. The SN95s are smaller and lighter than the current Mustangs, which is one reason why they are starting to get more-popular as project cars for building up big power. They work great for Coyote swaps, too. About the only downside to the non-Cobra 03-04s - which had IRS - is the solid rear axle, which means you'll feel every bump in the road. Second your point about the reliability of the modular 4.6L V-8s. Mine ran like a top and it had 240,000 miles on it when I finally had to part ways with it because of some under-body rust. All in all, it was a damned fun car, and economical to own, too, which I why I drove it for so long.
@@GeorgiaBoy1961 Cool back story Man!! That 13 is an awesome car and last of the old school imo. I had a 98 cobra for a short time, was a fantastic car. Yeah agree the sn 95 stangs sure arent smooth and the seats suck. My Bullitt rides even rougher with the spring rates and being lowered from the factory. The Bullitt, mach 1 and Cobra share the same seat frames and padding and they are amazing! Good luck on the hunt, grab one asap they are getting tough to find as Im sure you know👍. Btw getting a complement from a vette guy is a monumental accomplishment 😂😂!
I bought one three weeks ago and I'm loving it! Although within my first week of owning it, someone tried to steal it... Woke up to my neighbor knocking on my door at 5 am telling me my Mustang was in the middle of the street. His dogs starting barking, so he got up to see why, and only to see two guys running off after he looked outside his front door.
@@carsandhobbies Sorry for the late reply, didn't notice you replied two weeks ago, but I glad they didn't take off with it! Was pissed as hell though but nothing was stolen or damaged. Right now, I pulling my engine out to rebuild it... died on me on the highway.
Love the Borla sound on that GT. There is no other car on the planet that sounds like a Mustang GT with good aftermarket exhaust. My wife and I recently became empty nesters and picked up a used but very well cared for 2006 GT Premium. It has 208k miles, but you could eat out of the engine bay it's so clean, and the car pulls like new. The prior owners took great care of it, and recently installed Flowmaster Outlaw series exhaust. The 3v has a wicked note!
Love my Mustang GT 5 speed. Bought it new in 2000. Just in the last two years, I’ve installed the typical aesthetic mods and dropped 1.5” with 18” rims. Timeless solid reliable car.
Just bought a 2002 Mustang GT with a 5-speed manual. Its my first sports car I have ever owned as well as my first car with a manual transmission. It only has 60k miles on it and its in great condition. I love it so far!
@@perryjunior2073 I'm liking it even more after adding a couple of mods to it and making it my daily. I'd definitely try jumping on that 03 Mustang if you can. These cars are getting harder and harder to find in good condition, especially at low miles such as 40k.
I have an '01 Bullitt that I bought new with 46K. Your assessment is spot on! The Tremec is notchy. You have to rev it for power. The handling is good. Your review was close to me driving mine. My Bullitt sounds soooo good. Thanks. Good job!
Thanks for sharing! Picked up a 03 GT with 69,000 miles last July, I’m the third owner. Previous had it 15 years, put 5,000 miles on it, never drove it in the rain. Has the Mach 1000 stereo system, Awesome sound! Just as yours, everything is still working great. Also has a 5 speed with Borla, never get tired of the great sound produced! My only regret is not buying one sooner. Every time I turn the key, I know I’m in for great ride!
Wow, sounds like an amazing find! I've always wanted to hear the mach 1000 in person, even the mach 460 sounds great so I bet yours sounds even better!
Thanks for taking us for the ride. I love the new edge stangs. I used to have a 2012 5.0 back in 2015, but like a fool, sold it a year later due to my employment requiring me to be driving more. I did get another one tho late Nov. of 2020 . A 2010 GT 5 speed that only had 8190 miles. Currently it has 8444 miles, as I just take it out once every two or three weeks when I feel the need for torque. I have a beater daily driver that I drive to work, grocery store; etc. When youtube lifts the 3 month ban on me from uploading, I plan on posting my primitive walk around video. It should be lifted sometime in June. CZcams has become gulag land. Anyway, sweet car man.
I have a 2000 GT with an automatic transmission. I bought the 4:10 gears and will be installing them this summer. I can't wait to try it out with the 4:10!
yep im looking forward to purchasing a new edge for sure. This video is all I needed to see to let myself know its time. Im 19 im still driving the hand me down I got in highschool so Im thinking of making this my first real car. Saving and should have a good budget to buy one early next year looking forward to it.
Thanks for the info and impressions. I"m looking for an affordable, fun car I can drive on the street and also use for occasional track events, and a New Edge is one of the cars I'm thinking about. Thanks again.
I had my 04 mustang GT automatic dark shadow gray for 9 years and still enjoy every moment of driving it every day and have been saving a lot of money too.i enjoy my 04 more than my 14 mustang GT sterling gray and 6 speed
As a junior high school student it’s kind of hard trying to find of these for under $6,000. What really surprises me is that somehow a 2002 mustang GT with 190,000 miles and obvious use will sell for $6,000 here in my city. I’ve been trying to find one for 4K but nothing yet
I sold mine last Friday i wanted something little bit newer hopefully my next mustang is going to be a 05-09 3v Mustang but yeah the 99-04 stangs ARE awesome imo
I just bought a 3v 2010 track pack GT I freaking love it!! If you can find a track pack Mustang you won't regret it has 373 suspension setup for racing and some other goodies
have an 02 GT 4r70w with frp 4.10 gears - OR pypes H-pipes with slp lm1s love the looks and the sound is awesome. pretty quick 1/4 car. thinking adding a wet nitrous kit in next couple years. love the new edge mustang- old but not weak like the older mustangs.
Have an 03 gt, patriot ii heads, hotter cams long tube headers, performance throttle body and cold air intake with 4.10 gears.. cobra wheels 295 18s on the back.. what makes the car fun is people pick on them because of there known low power output, this one will hold it's own and then some with the early ls motors. Love the look and sound and it has been very reliable, haven't done anything to it in the twelve years I've owned it. Diablo tuner will let it go to 6350 rpm and it sees that frequently, doesn't seem to care. Most favorite car I've owned and there's been a few.
Great vid ,man!! I bought my 2001 Bullitt brand new in Sept. 2001. I still have her to this day at 135,000 miles, although she was my daily commuter (!!) car for the first ten years. (I decided back then, that if I had to have a long commute, I was gonna have fun doing so!!) Trying to keep her as stock as possible, but I just bought the Ford Racing aluminum clutch quadrant & firewall adjuster that I will be putting in soon for better reliability over the stock plastic unit. I'd be interested in hearing from others at which point they've put in new timing chains? I'm in the initial stages of giving my Bullitt a complete refresh from the ground up, so I'm trying to determine where to start first.
My 04 GT is the $#iT.... Black on black 40th Anniversary convertible Mach 1 stereo in which I had to change out for a better deck as well as the factory speakers. I grew up as a GM guy and of course I wanted the Trans -Am and the Z-28 but man let me tell you when I heard Texas Dept. of Safety had purchased Mustangs in the early 80's as a pursuit vehicle I just fell in love with the Mustang at that point. The models that D.P.S. were buying were of course the early 80's models that were of course light in the rear along with an added police package made those cars eye blinking fast. For me the Mustang V-8 is simply my Exotic Beauty and yes there are other vehicles that have more speed, power, beauty and a few other things but the sound that she roars out of her tailpipes are hypnotic to say the least and I will choose her over any other muscle or performance beauty any day.
Had 4 new edge mustangs including 2 gts and an 03 cobra, and they will forever be my favorite mustangs. Wish I could find a low mileage gt so I could park my 2017 5.0 some
2022 February. I own since new Ford Mustang GT 5 speed 2004. Love my car and will not sell or trade. Miles 68K since I drove it home from dealership in Clearwater Beach Florida. Enjoy yours. Thumbs up on your video.
Yesterday I purchased a 2003 zink yellow Mach1. I was going into my Senior Yr in high school then. This is the last of "what cars ustaa be like" I love just the raw feal of her. At 129k I think makes it better, modern sports cars are cool and all, but I'm 17 again. My 36th birthday 🎁
I picked up a 2001 two-valve a couple of years ago - I am the second owner and the car is PRISTINE with only 8100 original miles! I feel blessed to have it in my stable……..👍
i found an 04 GT with 70k miles. body and interior look really great as well as engine and the engine compartment. he wants 7 G’s. im going to test drive it tomorrow ! 😎
My 98 threw a rod at 217k miles, so I threw in an aluminum 4.6 from an 04 explorer. The engine had 80k so I had to jump on it. She runs good now, but I have a slow leak at the tailshaft seal that I need to replace, then all should be good
As an owner of an '00 GT convertible with the 4R70W automatic: In stock condition it's a slushbox. Put a shift kit in, replace the valve body plate against solenoid warping, J-mod it, get a good torque converter and it's pretty fun (Monster Transmissions has a great semi-stock replacement in the Thor: Odin). They do have a great sound once you get the 20 catalytic converters off it as well, LOL.
I had a 2001 silver Mustang the tire blew and I rolled it in a ditch. Totaled my first car in a little less than a year. I wasn't even doing anything wrong 45 on a straight away. Wrong place, wrong time I guess. Me and my best friend both Mustang he had a standard 2000 and I had a 2001 automatic. We can both attest that there is some kind of issue that causes them to slide or spin on turns. Don't know if it's an issue with the traction control or what but they feel kind've dangerous in our opinion compared to other cars. I rolled mine and totalled it the airbags didn't eject and I was actually untouched. Not a scratch or bruise but the roof did come down on my shoulders and gave me issues but I'm grateful for the way it turned out.
I’ve got a 2000 New edge with the 3.8 sadly but it is a fun car still has lowering springs and stiffer struts corners pretty decent and still runs alright having 320KM on it
Probably one of the best sounding mustangs to date, sounds much better than a new one, long tubes with full 3" exhaust into 4" bassani tips with bassani mufflers and no cats sounds heavenly
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!!!!!!!
Just bought a 2003 mustang gt for 5000 with 172k miles stage 2 clutch intake and exhaust and it runs amazing it’s gonna be the daily for awhile to I’m the 3rd owner.
Ive been a GM tech for 20 years Im a GM guy, the 4th gen camaros are faster stock vs stock but I think the mustangs have the edge in the looks dept, pun intended. Ive got a 2002 SS and Im looking for a 99-04 GT 5speed just because I love the way they look lowered with some nice wheels and sound with an OR midpipe and flows, the most epic sound.
Nice, yeah I looked at the F-bodys originally but the repairs and maintenance seemed much more difficult for example, the spark plugs, you'd probably be a better judge of that tho. Also I personally just like the way the Mustang looks, sounds, and the aftermarket support, those Camaro defiantly are fast tho and the LS1 can be a monster with heads and cam I hear!
Those Camaros and Firebirds of that era were very fast. I loved how the Camaros looked, but thanks to being not all that tall - 5'10" - when I sat in the thing, I felt like I was sitting in a bath-tub and trying to drive. I was disappointed, but that's life. The Mustang on the other hand, provided great visibility, and was fun to drive, and they sounded great. What Ford should have done is drop the modular 4.6L Cobra DOHC engine into the GTs, and boost the motor for the Cobras, as they finally did in 2003-2004. Or just bump up displacement as they finally did. I once owned a 1969 Firebird ragtop, and my brother had a nice 1967 Camaro hardtop with a 327 c.i. 4v - so I like GM fine - but man alive, I just can't make friends with the new generation of Camaros, how they look and that same bugaboo - bad visibility. Too bad, because the word is that they are absolute rockets. No matter, I have a very fast 2013 Mustang GT now. But there's definitely something special about how those 4.6L V-8s sounded.....
I have a 2004 GT convertible with 5spd. All stock with 151,000 miles. Only mods are MGW shifter, and Magnaflow mufflers. No leaks at all. The engine does not burn any oil. Very good, reliable engines !
Unpopular opinion, i had a 1998 gt and a 2001. Both were loud enough I enjoyed it with the stock exhaust but was never such a drone. I put 40 series on my current 04 and its almost to loud.
Dont get me wrong i like the new edge look but i think ill pick the s197 3v still. It just has that retro look i love so much but really glad you like yours for what it is
Yeah I hear that a lot of people don't like the new edge generation. I like s197s too when they're modified but when they're stock they just look too much like a rental car for me.
I don't think anything sounds better than a 4.6 s197. I replaced a muffler, then when the other one rusted out, I just put a flex pipe in its place. Still sounds great!
I’m selling my 2001 Toyota Celica GTS with a 6 speed manual for a super clean 2000 mustang GT . I always wanted one of the these and this one is super clean and completely stock with only 141,000 miles. Owner has receipts of regular maintenance all the way around. $4000. Only thing is it’s an automatic.
Hey man..I have a question..or anyone in the comments really..is a 2001 base mustang coupe with 200k miles worth buying..only issue is a slow oil drip I'm 17 and it would be my second vehicle, I do have a perfectly running 2000 toyota tundra but has 300k..
i got a 01 gt that i bought with 35k miles for 5k sitting at 63k now I also got a 2003 cobra with 46k i daily the gt only thing I have done in the 30k miles is a clutch and oil changes and like 3 sets of tires lol.
I have the 04 40th anniversary gt convertible automatic . Wish it was 5 speed I got it with 160 k miles on it paid 3200 for mine Love the car . No mods but it still fun car .though for the car being 20 yrs old ppl scream out windows at me saying that nice car. If you get chance to buy one don't pass up. wrx one day thought I was racing when I just was goin home from work though I'm not dumb suburu wrx are fast yes he got in front waving at me with the flasher s but my car stayed on its bumper unfortunately im currently looking around for best price to have transmission swaped I only have reverse right now .wanna race lol only mustang that races backwards lol . But like the man said in video it's decent car .
I've been trying to find one of these on and off over the years and now they are stupid pricy due to Covid. I think the prices will come down by next summer, unfortunately I will likely not need a second vehicle by that point.
@@xletzyy Heh. Its no biggie. IF one does become available for a decent price and miles, I will get it then, and if one does not, oh well! Its only a car.
idk if anyones gonna reply to a comment on a ye old vid, but i have a friend who’s going to sell a 03 mustang gt with 160,000 miles on it this summer. however, he’s getting the engined swapped for a v8. i was wondering if that’s maybe a good deal and what problems does this gen have?
Is it a V6 that he's putting a V8 in? These cars for the most part are pretty solid, because it has that many miles the entire suspension will probably need to be redone, both my 99 and my 02 needed new ball joints, shocks and I still need new sway bushings. One of the biggest things is to make sure the oil is changed and at the correct level. This goes for pretty much any car, but most of the cases I've seen of broken rod bearings are people running their oil too low. Also idk how many miles the v8 he's putting in has, but it may or may not need timing chain guides, some people need em after 100k, while others never need em. Again it comes down to keeping the oil clean and topped off. There are other minor issues, that some people get but others don't such as coil packs going bad, IAC valve going out etc. However, the vast majority of the parts are expensive and it's a very easy car to work on yourself, one of the easiest "modern" cars imo.
i just bought my 2nd newedge it's an 03. this gt has 170k on it with STOCK REAR UPPER LOWER CONTROL ARMS with BUSTED ass axel bushings. the rear feels so wonky. i'm waiting on my bbk arms. i hope there isn't too much fucked up in my rear 🙃
I just bought a 2001 mustang six cylinder five speed mustang, I've looked for TWO YEARS for an eight cylinder 5 speed, but prices are outrageous! It has 151,000 miles on it, it's really straight, no rust but it just threw the "check engine" light. Any ideas to what it could be? It idles kinda high too.
Congrats on your purchase! Yeah the v8's are going up in price and the pandemic hasn't helped as there are less for sale. Not sure what the CEL could be for but any local autoparts store could tell you for free.
Cars with more torque than horsepower is actually so much more fun than vice versa. The torque is what push you back into your seat, the horsepower just gets you to jail time speed.
I'm thinking about buying myself a 99-04 or a 94-98 mustang, I just love the way they look and sound, and it seems like a really good option for me because you can pick them up for pretty cheap. Any advice on where I should look to buy one?
What exhaust mods do you have? I have a 2000 GT as well with a Vortech Supercharger and I am about to re-do my exhaust. Looking at BBK Long tube headers, H-pipe and Flowmaster American Thunder Catback. Yours sounds great!
Wear headphones! Also, messed up on the power output numbers, the car makes 260hp at 5250RPM and 302 lb⋅ft at 4000RPM.
Agreed. My GT, which I sold, droned too much as a daily driver.

Man Brother, you sound like a younger guy, Im 48 and it was refreshing to hear a younger guy giving out spot on info!! I agree 100% on all points. Im so tired of crap info being put out about these cars. These guys always bagging on these engines being weak etc. They make great power for the time and ultra reliable, durable and the sound, cant be matched! Power is easily added with small turbo and some tuning, and I mean some serious power!Your getting in the mile range where you can start updating front end parts etc to get back its new handling feel. The long time warmup is common we have 3 and they are all the same. Its easy nowadays to talk smack about speed when young guys go out and take out 600+ dollar car note and then brag how they can smoke you. Its another thing to buy a 20 year old car with cash and learn how to turn a wrench and improve on something with your own two hands. The process is rewarding and most dont get that. It also takes some skill to drive one of these efficiently. I have a near stock 01 Bullitt that puts out 300 at the crank, my Bullitt is a handful to keep on the road even with 315s at the rear. Ive driven numerous new vehicles and they are awesome but extremely tame even with big horsepower. Driving these old manual stangs is a blast! Go for the 410 gears, I have them in mine and they are fantastic! Thumbs up on the vid👍👍
Yessir absolutely! For $5000 I was able to get a v8, manual transmission and a great looking car with less than 100k to go with it, you cant get better that! Yeah you're definitely right about the suspension so far I've replaced all for shocks and struts, ball joints, rear upper control arms and diff bushings and added lowering springs! I love this car so much and lucky I've been able to do all the work myself!
I also have an 01 bullit I daily drive it's got 140,000 miles on it still running strong! man you're right though the thing is bumpy ash! I absolutely love the car
@ 2RCProductions: Re: "Ive driven numerous new vehicles and they are awesome but extremely tame even with big horsepower. Driving these old manual stangs is a blast!"
Right on, brother! I now own a 2013 Mustang GT 5.0L Coyote motor, which is an absolute beast - but I still sometimes miss my 1996 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V hardtop. Why? For many of the reasons you mention. Those cars are not fast by today's standards, but you really feel and enjoy the experience of driving them. They sound great. Many times over the life of my Mustang - which had after-market Flowmasters on it and was otherwise bone-stock - I had guys like Corvette owners telling me how great my car sounded. I am currently hunting for a decent-quality 1998 Cobra, which I intend to super-charge. The SN95s are smaller and lighter than the current Mustangs, which is one reason why they are starting to get more-popular as project cars for building up big power. They work great for Coyote swaps, too. About the only downside to the non-Cobra 03-04s - which had IRS - is the solid rear axle, which means you'll feel every bump in the road. Second your point about the reliability of the modular 4.6L V-8s. Mine ran like a top and it had 240,000 miles on it when I finally had to part ways with it because of some under-body rust. All in all, it was a damned fun car, and economical to own, too, which I why I drove it for so long.
@@GeorgiaBoy1961 Cool back story Man!! That 13 is an awesome car and last of the old school imo. I had a 98 cobra for a short time, was a fantastic car. Yeah agree the sn 95 stangs sure arent smooth and the seats suck. My Bullitt rides even rougher with the spring rates and being lowered from the factory. The Bullitt, mach 1 and Cobra share the same seat frames and padding and they are amazing! Good luck on the hunt, grab one asap they are getting tough to find as Im sure you know👍. Btw getting a complement from a vette guy is a monumental accomplishment 😂😂!
@@2RCPRODUCTIONS - Thanks for the reply and the heads-up....
At 6:15 that sound off the trees is legendary:)
oh yeah, I love that!
I bought one three weeks ago and I'm loving it! Although within my first week of owning it, someone tried to steal it... Woke up to my neighbor knocking on my door at 5 am telling me my Mustang was in the middle of the street. His dogs starting barking, so he got up to see why, and only to see two guys running off after he looked outside his front door.
No way, I'd be so mad! Glad you were able to get it back tho!
@@carsandhobbies Sorry for the late reply, didn't notice you replied two weeks ago, but I glad they didn't take off with it! Was pissed as hell though but nothing was stolen or damaged.
Right now, I pulling my engine out to rebuild it... died on me on the highway.
Sad!!!!! Get a job STOP STEALING!!!!!
still driving my 01 GT convt. flowmaster, KN cold air intake. 118K miles. still a beast and the light weight of the car really makes it go.
Sure does, I always wanted to try a convertible but it hard to find one with the top in good condition.
Love the Borla sound on that GT. There is no other car on the planet that sounds like a Mustang GT with good aftermarket exhaust. My wife and I recently became empty nesters and picked up a used but very well cared for 2006 GT Premium. It has 208k miles, but you could eat out of the engine bay it's so clean, and the car pulls like new. The prior owners took great care of it, and recently installed Flowmaster Outlaw series exhaust. The 3v has a wicked note!
Awesome, those 3v's sure are cool!
Love my Mustang GT 5 speed. Bought it new in 2000. Just in the last two years, I’ve installed the typical aesthetic mods and dropped 1.5” with 18” rims. Timeless solid reliable car.
did you do lowering springs or what because i just ordered some and idk if i’ll regret it or not lol
Just bought a 2002 Mustang GT with a 5-speed manual. Its my first sports car I have ever owned as well as my first car with a manual transmission. It only has 60k miles on it and its in great condition. I love it so far!
That sounds like a great buy!
How are you liking it now? Im looking at a 2003 GT Premium with under 40k miles
@@perryjunior2073 I'm liking it even more after adding a couple of mods to it and making it my daily. I'd definitely try jumping on that 03 Mustang if you can. These cars are getting harder and harder to find in good condition, especially at low miles such as 40k.
How much did it run you?
@@brianmcreynolds2431 6k but with this market it’s going to be pretty hard to find New Edges for around that price with under 100k miles
I have an '01 Bullitt that I bought new with 46K. Your assessment is spot on! The Tremec is notchy. You have to rev it for power. The handling is good. Your review was close to me driving mine. My Bullitt sounds soooo good. Thanks. Good job!
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!
Yep i m 65 and just bought a 99 35th , next week she will be at home , thx for sharing that nice ride
Thanks for watching!
My 02 gt just rolled 160k and she still can pull and people still eye it like crazy!!
That's awesome! Oh yeah the New Edges are definitely my favorite Mustang generation
Got 146k miles on my gt still runs like a champ
Thanks for sharing! Picked up a 03 GT with 69,000 miles last July, I’m the third owner. Previous had it 15 years, put 5,000 miles on it, never drove it in the rain. Has the Mach 1000 stereo system, Awesome sound! Just as yours, everything is still working great. Also has a 5 speed with Borla, never get tired of the great sound produced! My only regret is not buying one sooner. Every time I turn the key, I know I’m in for great ride!
Wow, sounds like an amazing find! I've always wanted to hear the mach 1000 in person, even the mach 460 sounds great so I bet yours sounds even better!
Thanks for taking us for the ride. I love the new edge stangs. I used to have a 2012 5.0 back in 2015, but like a fool, sold it a year later due to my employment requiring me to be driving more. I did get another one tho late Nov. of 2020 . A 2010 GT 5 speed that only had 8190 miles. Currently it has 8444 miles, as I just take it out once every two or three weeks when I feel the need for torque. I have a beater daily driver that I drive to work, grocery store; etc. When youtube lifts the 3 month ban on me from uploading, I plan on posting my primitive walk around video. It should be lifted sometime in June. CZcams has become gulag land. Anyway, sweet car man.
Thanks for watching! Looking forward to see a video of the ride!
@@carsandhobbies Thanks man!
I have a 2000 GT with an automatic transmission. I bought the 4:10 gears and will be installing them this summer. I can't wait to try it out with the 4:10!
Yeah 4.10 gears sound like they make the car feel a lot faster from what I heard, I'm scared to loose my gas mileage tho lol
I just got mine a year ago I love it so much thanks for the video again Ford mustang American USA baby🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯🥂
Thanks for watching! Nothing better than American muscle 💪🇺🇲
Your Mustang is identical to mine minus the stripes. Interior color, exterior color, the wheels too. Great looking car man!
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!
Love my 2001 New Edge! Nice POV vid.
Thanks for watching!
you've done a great job explaining the new Edge Mustang
Thank you!
yep im looking forward to purchasing a new edge for sure. This video is all I needed to see to let myself know its time. Im 19 im still driving the hand me down I got in highschool so Im thinking of making this my first real car. Saving and should have a good budget to buy one early next year looking forward to it.
Love my 99 Cobra vert. Only 41k miles and always a pleasure behind the wheel.
These generation mustangs are the best bang for your buck.
Thanks for the info and impressions. I"m looking for an affordable, fun car I can drive on the street and also use for occasional track events, and a New Edge is one of the cars I'm thinking about. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
Mines at 170k miles, pulls like butter very strong transmission and engine. I take good care of it. But I also drive it
That's awesome! I hope mine goes that many miles
I had my 04 mustang GT automatic dark shadow gray for 9 years and still enjoy every moment of driving it every day and have been saving a lot of money too.i enjoy my 04 more than my 14 mustang GT sterling gray and 6 speed
As a junior high school student it’s kind of hard trying to find of these for under $6,000. What really surprises me is that somehow a 2002 mustang GT with 190,000 miles and obvious use will sell for $6,000 here in my city. I’ve been trying to find one for 4K but nothing yet
Yeah don't be afraid to drive to go get one at a good price!
I sold mine last Friday i wanted something little bit newer hopefully my next mustang is going to be a 05-09 3v Mustang but yeah the 99-04 stangs ARE awesome imo
Noooooooo, hey at least you're still 4.6 gang tho!
@@carsandhobbies i know😭lol but yeah 4.6 for life🤜🏼🤛🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼
Good to see you get the 3v newer mustang keep going bro that’s motivation 💯🔥
@@ruthless.6504 thanks my guy🤜🤛
I just bought a 3v 2010 track pack GT I freaking love it!! If you can find a track pack Mustang you won't regret it has 373 suspension setup for racing and some other goodies
Recently got accepted into college and I’m looking for something nice and flashy for a cheap price and I think I hit the right YT vid!
Yeah I'm in college too, I love the car!
Got a 02 Gt with 310k miles and still running strong 💪
Wow you really drove that thing huh? That's amazing tho!
what have you had to repair/ replace
That’s amazing, shows you’ve been takin care of it 👍🏼
have an 02 GT 4r70w with frp 4.10 gears - OR pypes H-pipes with slp lm1s love the looks and the sound is awesome. pretty quick 1/4 car. thinking adding a wet nitrous kit in next couple years. love the new edge mustang- old but not weak like the older mustangs.
Awesome, yeah I have yet to take mine to the strip, I wanna go one day!
Now I want one more than ever lol sweet ride and sound btw
Get one, they're so fun!
Have an 03 gt, patriot ii heads, hotter cams long tube headers, performance throttle body and cold air intake with 4.10 gears.. cobra wheels 295 18s on the back.. what makes the car fun is people pick on them because of there known low power output, this one will hold it's own and then some with the early ls motors. Love the look and sound and it has been very reliable, haven't done anything to it in the twelve years I've owned it. Diablo tuner will let it go to 6350 rpm and it sees that frequently, doesn't seem to care. Most favorite car I've owned and there's been a few.
That's awesome man, I'd love to do heads and cams on mine, how much power you making?
This looks like so much fun. This would be so sick as a first car
Yeah they're a lot of fun, if you can get it for a good price, can't beat em.
I have '00 GT stock 295,000 miles and counting...showing signs of old age but still running smoothly following necessary pm schedule👍
That's amazing!
Great vid ,man!! I bought my 2001 Bullitt brand new in Sept. 2001. I still have her to this day at 135,000 miles, although she was my daily commuter (!!) car for the first ten years. (I decided back then, that if I had to have a long commute, I was gonna have fun doing so!!) Trying to keep her as stock as possible, but I just bought the Ford Racing aluminum clutch quadrant & firewall adjuster that I will be putting in soon for better reliability over the stock plastic unit. I'd be interested in hearing from others at which point they've put in new timing chains? I'm in the initial stages of giving my Bullitt a complete refresh from the ground up, so I'm trying to determine where to start first.
Wow that's awesome! Yeah I heard it's not the chains that go bad, but the guides. I be interested in hearing other people's take on that too!
My 04 GT is the $#iT.... Black on black 40th Anniversary convertible Mach 1 stereo in which I had to change out for a better deck as well as the factory speakers. I grew up as a GM guy and of course I wanted the Trans -Am and the Z-28 but man let me tell you when I heard Texas Dept. of Safety had purchased Mustangs in the early 80's as a pursuit vehicle I just fell in love with the Mustang at that point. The models that D.P.S. were buying were of course the early 80's models that were of course light in the rear along with an added police package made those cars eye blinking fast. For me the Mustang V-8 is simply my Exotic Beauty and yes there are other vehicles that have more speed, power, beauty and a few other things but the sound that she roars out of her tailpipes are hypnotic to say the least and I will choose her over any other muscle or performance beauty any day.
Well said!
20 years of owning my '99. 226k. Stock engine. Nice one yourself 👍
That's impressive!
Had 4 new edge mustangs including 2 gts and an 03 cobra, and they will forever be my favorite mustangs. Wish I could find a low mileage gt so I could park my 2017 5.0 some
That's awesome! Yeah they're getting hard to find.
2022 February. I own since new Ford Mustang GT 5 speed 2004. Love my car and will not sell or trade. Miles 68K since I drove it home from dealership in Clearwater Beach Florida. Enjoy yours. Thumbs up on your video.
Very nice! Thanks for watching.
Yesterday I purchased a 2003 zink yellow Mach1. I was going into my Senior Yr in high school then. This is the last of "what cars ustaa be like" I love just the raw feal of her. At 129k I think makes it better, modern sports cars are cool and all, but I'm 17 again. My 36th birthday 🎁
Just bought an intercooled kenne bell 2.1 kit for mine. Also have bbk long tubes that I still have to install
That's awesome would you say the Kenne Bell is worth it?
I picked up a 2001 two-valve a couple of years ago - I am the second owner and the car is PRISTINE with only 8100 original miles! I feel blessed to have it in my stable……..👍
Woah 8100!? That's barely off the showroom!
i found an 04 GT with 70k miles. body and interior look really great as well as engine and the engine compartment. he wants 7 G’s. im going to test drive it tomorrow ! 😎
Nice, good luck with your purchase!
Your exhaust gave me chills🔥 i guess i need a mustang
Do it man , you won't regret it

I have an 04 GT and I enjoyed
Awesome! They're great cars
I have a 04 Crimson Red Gt with 41,000 miles, gets a lot of looks!
Awesome! That's a cool color too!
My 98 threw a rod at 217k miles, so I threw in an aluminum 4.6 from an 04 explorer. The engine had 80k so I had to jump on it. She runs good now, but I have a slow leak at the tailshaft seal that I need to replace, then all should be good
That's awesome you got that mileage out the original motor!
As an owner of an '00 GT convertible with the 4R70W automatic: In stock condition it's a slushbox. Put a shift kit in, replace the valve body plate against solenoid warping, J-mod it, get a good torque converter and it's pretty fun (Monster Transmissions has a great semi-stock replacement in the Thor: Odin). They do have a great sound once you get the 20 catalytic converters off it as well, LOL.
I bet that helps tremendously. Yeah mean had 6 cats believe it or not, it's crazy.
@@carsandhobbies Man... Thought mine was bad with 4.
Mine at 196 is feeling some age but still catches plenty of looks. They’re nice vehicles
Oh yeah, think it's the best design they came out with.
I had a 2001 silver Mustang the tire blew and I rolled it in a ditch. Totaled my first car in a little less than a year. I wasn't even doing anything wrong 45 on a straight away. Wrong place, wrong time I guess. Me and my best friend both Mustang he had a standard 2000 and I had a 2001 automatic. We can both attest that there is some kind of issue that causes them to slide or spin on turns. Don't know if it's an issue with the traction control or what but they feel kind've dangerous in our opinion compared to other cars. I rolled mine and totalled it the airbags didn't eject and I was actually untouched. Not a scratch or bruise but the roof did come down on my shoulders and gave me issues but I'm grateful for the way it turned out.
Wow man, sorry to hear that! Glad you were ok though!
I’ve got a 2000 New edge with the 3.8 sadly but it is a fun car still has lowering springs and stiffer struts corners pretty decent and still runs alright having 320KM on it
Wow that's impressive mileage.
Probably one of the best sounding mustangs to date, sounds much better than a new one, long tubes with full 3" exhaust into 4" bassani tips with bassani mufflers and no cats sounds heavenly
I agree!
Cool Mustang bro!
Thanks!
Very informative and entertaining to watch, thanks for the vid👍
Thanks for watching!
Yea cable clutches will make you feel it, single disc stage 3+ clutch and stage 3 cams a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes
I bet lol, left leg probably massive by now😂

2003 Mach1 with 11k miles on her, pretty much all stock with Stingers and bassani catted x-pipe.
Awesome! Yeah the Mach 1's are my favorite new edge they're just so hard to find nowadays
Just bought a 2003 mustang gt for 5000 with 172k miles stage 2 clutch intake and exhaust and it runs amazing it’s gonna be the daily for awhile to I’m the 3rd owner.
Very cool!
Ive been a GM tech for 20 years Im a GM guy, the 4th gen camaros are faster stock vs stock but I think the mustangs have the edge in the looks dept, pun intended. Ive got a 2002 SS and Im looking for a 99-04 GT 5speed just because I love the way they look lowered with some nice wheels and sound with an OR midpipe and flows, the most epic sound.
Nice, yeah I looked at the F-bodys originally but the repairs and maintenance seemed much more difficult for example, the spark plugs, you'd probably be a better judge of that tho. Also I personally just like the way the Mustang looks, sounds, and the aftermarket support, those Camaro defiantly are fast tho and the LS1 can be a monster with heads and cam I hear!
@@carsandhobbies Yeah doing plugs on an 4th gen requires going at it from underneath, definitely a pain in the ass.
Back in the day I used to say, "it's easier to make a New Edge faster than an F Body than it is to make an F Body look better than a New Edge."
@@SCHMALLZZZ 😂😂😂😂
Those Camaros and Firebirds of that era were very fast. I loved how the Camaros looked, but thanks to being not all that tall - 5'10" - when I sat in the thing, I felt like I was sitting in a bath-tub and trying to drive. I was disappointed, but that's life. The Mustang on the other hand, provided great visibility, and was fun to drive, and they sounded great. What Ford should have done is drop the modular 4.6L Cobra DOHC engine into the GTs, and boost the motor for the Cobras, as they finally did in 2003-2004. Or just bump up displacement as they finally did. I once owned a 1969 Firebird ragtop, and my brother had a nice 1967 Camaro hardtop with a 327 c.i. 4v - so I like GM fine - but man alive, I just can't make friends with the new generation of Camaros, how they look and that same bugaboo - bad visibility. Too bad, because the word is that they are absolute rockets. No matter, I have a very fast 2013 Mustang GT now. But there's definitely something special about how those 4.6L V-8s sounded.....
Mine just blew up at 160k, something in the bottom end, should have it back by February hopefully
Sorry to hear that man. Are you going to rebuild your engine or get a new one?
Enjoy my boosted 04 when I get it out . Needless to say, it isn't that often. I might roll 45k on it this year.
Awesome, I always wanted to experience a boosted new edge
I have a 2004 GT convertible with 5spd. All stock with 151,000 miles. Only mods are MGW shifter, and Magnaflow mufflers. No leaks at all. The engine does not burn any oil. Very good, reliable engines !
That's awesome to hear!

I enjoyed the ride along. I have an 03 Mach 1. The 3650 is definitely stiff and notchy. You have to gorilla shift them :)
Nice I'd love to a Mach 1 one day love that shaker hood! Oh yeah that transmission definitely took 💪
Right about the shifting, I went to a longer stick, makes a little longer throw but less effort needed, and seemed to smooth it out some.
Just bought a 2003 gt convertible, I'm loving it, but I need to put some time, money, and work into it.
Wow bro this made me want one more. I been wanting one for 2 years. Probably buying it next year😅
Do it
@carsandhobbies ohh man I am. Been my dream mustang since 03🔥🔥
Unpopular opinion, i had a 1998 gt and a 2001. Both were loud enough I enjoyed it with the stock exhaust but was never such a drone. I put 40 series on my current 04 and its almost to loud.
I daily a 99 gt that’s on 2 inch lowering springs and just hit 100k miles but I love every bit of it would never sell
Awesome, yeah they're a ton of fun!
Dont get me wrong i like the new edge look but i think ill pick the s197 3v still. It just has that retro look i love so much but really glad you like yours for what it is
Yeah I hear that a lot of people don't like the new edge generation. I like s197s too when they're modified but when they're stock they just look too much like a rental car for me.
@@carsandhobbies to me if i was gonna get a mustang id get either a s197, new edge, or foxbody. The bullits just look too curvy for me
Looking to buy a 2V soon.... can’t wait
Yeah man get one now while the prices are still reasonable.
Stock for stock. These 2v mustangs are a tad bit quicker than the first gen 3v s197. And engine is more reliable as well
Oh really? I was not aware of that!
Watching a review about my car. Nice 😂
0:35 Fr tho I noticed that when I first got mine, it takes FOREVER to heat up, at least 6-11 minutes
@@black2v837 yeah I don't know what that is lol, it's pretty annoying when it's so cold outside.
I don't think anything sounds better than a 4.6 s197. I replaced a muffler, then when the other one rusted out, I just put a flex pipe in its place. Still sounds great!
Oh I like the way s197's sound too, I just really love the rough sound of the new edge when it cruises by.
I have a 2000 3.8L V6 5speed manual. I'm just turned 25 so the car is almost as old as me I do plan on engine swapping to something bigger though.
That's awesome!
I’m selling my 2001 Toyota Celica GTS with a 6 speed manual for a super clean 2000 mustang GT .

Only thing is it’s an automatic.
That's awesome man! Best of luck with your purchase!
What’s the specific exhaust set up?
I love this car!
Thanks!
Better looking then a 3v thats for sure
I would have to agree with you on that lol. I will say though that the 3v interior is a lot nicer.
Hey man..I have a question..or anyone in the comments really..is a 2001 base mustang coupe with 200k miles worth buying..only issue is a slow oil drip
I'm 17 and it would be my second vehicle, I do have a perfectly running 2000 toyota tundra but has 300k..
I’m 18 I just bought my self a 2000 mustang gt convertible 152k miles my first car I love it
Awesome man!
i got a 01 gt that i bought with 35k miles for 5k sitting at 63k now I also got a 2003 cobra with 46k i daily the gt only thing I have done in the 30k miles is a clutch and oil changes and like 3 sets of tires lol.
That's awesome I always wanted a SVT Cobra but the prices are insane now lol
I have the 04 40th anniversary gt convertible automatic . Wish it was 5 speed I got it with 160 k miles on it paid 3200 for mine Love the car . No mods but it still fun car .though for the car being 20 yrs old ppl scream out windows at me saying that nice car. If you get chance to buy one don't pass up. wrx one day thought I was racing when I just was goin home from work though I'm not dumb suburu wrx are fast yes he got in front waving at me with the flasher s but my car stayed on its bumper unfortunately im currently looking around for best price to have transmission swaped I only have reverse right now .wanna race lol only mustang that races backwards lol . But like the man said in video it's decent car .
I am buying a chip though which will bring car from 260 hp to 320 hp .
I've been trying to find one of these on and off over the years and now they are stupid pricy due to Covid. I think the prices will come down by next summer, unfortunately I will likely not need a second vehicle by that point.
Faxts I was looking in 2018 and they where so cheap. Sucks but still gonna wait too.
@@xletzyy Heh. Its no biggie. IF one does become available for a decent price and miles, I will get it then, and if one does not, oh well! Its only a car.
I had a 95 5.0 that I put GT40 intake on and alum drive shaft flywheel cai ECT it seemed way faster than my 310 hp 2016 Ecoboost
Sweet! The 95 definitely has a significant weight advantage, I'd like to see a race like that head to head.
The 3.73s in mine are perfect with fbo
Yeah need to put those in my 02
Love it
idk if anyones gonna reply to a comment on a ye old vid, but i have a friend who’s going to sell a 03 mustang gt with 160,000 miles on it this summer. however, he’s getting the engined swapped for a v8. i was wondering if that’s maybe a good deal and what problems does this gen have?
Is it a V6 that he's putting a V8 in? These cars for the most part are pretty solid, because it has that many miles the entire suspension will probably need to be redone, both my 99 and my 02 needed new ball joints, shocks and I still need new sway bushings. One of the biggest things is to make sure the oil is changed and at the correct level. This goes for pretty much any car, but most of the cases I've seen of broken rod bearings are people running their oil too low. Also idk how many miles the v8 he's putting in has, but it may or may not need timing chain guides, some people need em after 100k, while others never need em. Again it comes down to keeping the oil clean and topped off. There are other minor issues, that some people get but others don't such as coil packs going bad, IAC valve going out etc. However, the vast majority of the parts are expensive and it's a very easy car to work on yourself, one of the easiest "modern" cars imo.
i just bought my 2nd newedge it's an 03. this gt has 170k on it with STOCK REAR UPPER LOWER CONTROL ARMS with BUSTED ass axel bushings. the rear feels so wonky. i'm waiting on my bbk arms. i hope there isn't too much fucked up in my rear 🙃
Nice! Yeah I had to do my upper control arms and axle bushings as well, lucky everything came out easy!
I just bought a 2001 mustang six cylinder five speed mustang, I've looked for TWO YEARS for an eight cylinder 5 speed, but prices are outrageous! It has 151,000 miles on it, it's really straight, no rust but it just threw the "check engine" light. Any ideas to what it could be? It idles kinda high too.
Congrats on your purchase! Yeah the v8's are going up in price and the pandemic hasn't helped as there are less for sale. Not sure what the CEL could be for but any local autoparts store could tell you for free.
@@carsandhobbies bless your heart! Thank you!
Cars with more torque than horsepower is actually so much more fun than vice versa. The torque is what push you back into your seat, the horsepower just gets you to jail time speed.
When putting a set of 4.10 gears does that mess with you speedometer
Yes it does!
do you think a 2004 gt automatic would have problems with the trans by beating on it alot?
Nah probably not the transmission in them is pretty solid just watch your temps
I'm thinking about buying myself a 99-04 or a 94-98 mustang, I just love the way they look and sound, and it seems like a really good option for me because you can pick them up for pretty cheap. Any advice on where I should look to buy one?
I'd say your best bet is Facebook marketplace. Try to join a group such as "New Edge Nation", people often sell their cars there.
Alright cool, I'll have a look there and see what I can find
I jumped on a 03 Mach1 this past weekend. Couldn't pass it up. I'm back in high-school. Such a time machine.
What exhaust mods do you have? I have a 2000 GT as well with a Vortech Supercharger and I am about to re-do my exhaust. Looking at BBK Long tube headers, H-pipe and Flowmaster American Thunder Catback. Yours sounds great!
Nice I always wanted to supercharge mine! It's Borla Stingers and an off-road x pipe, stock manifolds.
