The V6 Mustang has been thought of as the step child of the GT in many ways.
It's engine (for 2004) comes with a standard 3.8 liter engine that produces 190 hp @ 5250 rpm
and 220 lb-ft. @ 2750 rpm of torque and sits on 16" alloy wheels. It is an economical version of the American Muscle car. Affordable,
and reliable, yet fast and stylish.
4.6 Liter V8 GT Mustang
The Mustang GT is known for its 4.6 Liter SOHC V8 engine with 17" alloy wheels.
Other noticable changes from the V6 model are the fog lamps, the air induction hood, and its dual exhaust. The V8 engine puts out
260 hp @ 5250 rpm and 302 lb-ft. @ 4000 rpm of torque. It is definitley a sweet piece of eye and ear candy when you see on driving by.
Supercharged DOHC V8 Cobra Mustang
The Cobra is the most powerful Mustang ever offered to the public. It's also the most refined Mustang ever offered.
The Cobra has a 4.6 DOHC Supercharged V8 engine that produces 320 hp @6000 rpm and 317 ft-lb of torque at a low 4,750 rpm.
However, the supercharged version of the cobra was not offered until 2003.
Like the GT, it sits atop 17" alloy wheels and has a cobra air induction hood, but the fog lights are rounded instead of flat.
But, one things for sure, this car really shines when 3 letters are attached to it......SVT.
SVT Cobra Mustang
The SVT Cobra is the mother of all Mustangs produced by Ford. It is built on the specs of the the Cobra base model but the
engineers at the SVT wing squeezed some extra horsepower and torque out of the already screaming 4.6 DOHC Cobra enginie. The SVT produces
390 hp @6000 rpm and 390 ft-lb. of Torque@ 3500rpm. This beauty will make heads turn when she rolls by, especially at top speed.
Cobra R Mustang
The 2000 Cobra R, which originates from the SVT, is the most intense factory Mustang to date. Originally built for the track, it is equipped with a competition
suspension, heavy-duty radiator and oil-cooler, 351 marine block with GT-40 cylinder leads, Tremec five-speed transmission and p255/45ZR17 BF Goodrich Comp
T/A radials. It lacks air conditioning, back seats, and stereo. A competition license from a sanctioned racing body is required in order to purchase one of 250 white
Cobra R models. A Cobra R, considerably one of the most “potent” Mustangs ever to roll off the Dearborn assembly line, has unique 5-spoke “R” wheels, a fuel cell,
and a raised fiberglass hood. Its 5.8 liter 300-horsepower/365 foot-pounds of torque make its presence clearly known.
Mach 1 Mustang
The original Mach 1 was introduced in 1968 as a concept car with a hatched fastback, aggressive hood and side scoops and a unique paint scheme. In 1969, the Mach 1 was one of three new Mustang models
that made it into production. It featured the familiar fastback body with simulated side scoops high on the quarter panel, an aggressively raked air dam on the front and a spoiler on the rear, “comfort-weave”
leather seats and the now famous, “shaker hood scoop” mounted directly onto the carburetor and fitting through an opening in the hood. The NEW 2003 Mach 1 delivers more than 300+ horsepower from its
modular (MOD) 4.6-liter, 4-valve, DOHC (Double OverHead Cam) V-8 engine when it goes on sale at the end of this year. The preeminent pony car remembers its roots with functional performance upgrades
and Mach 1 styling cues, including "comfort-weave" leather seats, a shaker hood scoop and today's interpretation of classic "Magnum 500" chrome wheels.

Bullitt Mustang
For the 2001 model year, Team Mustang took on the challenge of creating a special edition Mustang that would characterize the feeling of the 60's muscle cars. To accomplish this they choose to emulate the
1968 Mustang from the movie Bullitt with Steve McQueen. Starting with a standard 4.6 GT, Team Mustang chose to use simple cosmetic changes that would separate the Bullitt from a standard GT. The closely
spaced speedometer, brushed aluminum shift knob, brushed aluminum doorsills with Bullitt logos and the brushed aluminum gas tank door, to name a few are all distinctive. Even the leather seats received different
stitching to recreate the appearance from 1968 Mustangs. Power wise the dyno's show the HP to be around 275 @ 5200 rpm's. To accomplish this they used an aluminum long runner intake manifold with a dual 57mm
throttle body. Not a lot to crow about until you realize how and when the power is made. The HP peaks around 5200 rpm's. This is 1000 rpm's lower than the 320 HP Cobra engine. The Bullitt was not designed to fit
everyone nor should it. It was never designed to be the fastest or the quickest car on the road. Team Mustangs goal was to revitalize the feeling of the 60's muscle cars. Did they succeed? Just ask any Bullitt owner.

Boss Mustang
Is this the future of the Boss??!? The 2003 Boss contains a DOHC V-10 twin 6.8-liter EEC V processors (one per side), 430 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. The fuel system consists of a Weldon
pump with 30-pound injectors fitted to customized Vortech rails. A Paxton regulator keeps pressure to 39 psi. EMDO backed the V-10 with a Cobra clutch, a Pro 5.0-shifted '01 Cobra R six-speed, and a Ford 9-inch with
3.73:1 gearing. In addition, the Mustang sports coilover front struts and Maximum Motorsports lower controls arms with stock-type shocks and uppers in the rear. Ford has not come out and said that this car would lead
to a "New Boss Mustang" but if this car is any indecation, we are in for one of the most powerful Mustangs to ever hit the road...

Saleen Mustang
Saleens have always been about handling first and foremost. The earlier cars were major improvements over the stock handling offered by Ford, but at a price in ride quality. SN95s
(ie. 94 and up cars) are ordered as either Mustang GTs or as SVT Cobras for the S281s. S351s start life as a V6! The cars are dropped-shipped from Ford straight to Saleen, and converted. Springs, struts, and
shocks all go, replaced with Saleen's trademark "Racecraft" suspension. Bigger wheels and tires are added. The SN95s use 18" with tire as large as
P265ZR18 in the front and P295ZR18 in the rear! Serious rubber! Body work is also added, consisting of ground-effects, front/rear bumpers, and spoiler. A windshield banner is standard. Interior
options vary over the years, and have included anything from Flofits to leather Recaros (many cars retain the Ford factory interior).
The big gorilla, of course, is the S351. Introduced with the SN95 body style in 1994, this is the car many Mustang freaks think Ford should have produced all along. Of course it isn't cheap. S351s start life
as V6 cars. In addition to the usual suspension, cosmetic, and interior mods, the entire drivetrain is trashed. In its placed goes a 5.8 Liter, 351-cubic inch Windsor with all the performance bells and
goodies you could wish for. Rated from to 484 to 507HP, depending on the year, the S351 is a tire-shredding, Viper-eating monster. Not a car you'd want to pick a fight with lightly!
