[@undergroundgaming3172]

Just bought a 2003 Azure blue Mach 1 yesterday. Unfortunately I'm in Ohio so it will sit in my garage all winter. Thanks for your multiple Mach 1 videos. Funny enough, I looked at several Mach 1s online that were fairly close to me, and I ended up buying the only automatic I saw. I think only like 280 Azure blue automatics were built in 03. Mine has 47,700 miles. All original except a K&N intake and cat back exhaust and rear wheels were replaced with 17x10 to fit a 275/40/19 tire

[@RaitisRides]

Congrats on finding her!

[@CurtisClinton77]

That rear quarter window shape was different from regular Mustangs. Only special models like the Mach 1 and the Bullitt had it.

Great review, I own a 2003 Mach 1, dark shadow gray, even though I own the 2012 Boss, I still enjoy driving my Mach 1 ( 115,000 miles) love to see that shaker shake!

[@carrollshelby8690]

It's not all stock. The OEM hood stripe and rocker stripes were all semi gloss black, even on black paint. Any other color stripes are aftermarket. The original rocker stripes fade to the rear. All aftermarket rocker stripes are solid. The red MUSTANG rear bumper letter inserts are aftermarket. The rear spoiler is supposed to be semi gloss black. This one is repainted gloss black.

[@johnrau2873]

Ya mine was black on black But I changed it to white on black They are Ford manufactured decals I do think it looks better You are on the dot black is the color of decals on any color

[@benoitlaferriere8581]

Right on 👍

[@stevenfreitas8775]

If you think about it, this was a parts bin special. 2001 Bullitt brakes, instrument cluster, and rear quarter window moldings. Engine was an upgraded version of the 2001 Cobra engine with revised cylinder heads and cams to boost low end torque. Suspension was also borrowed from the 2001 Bullitt providing a 1/2” lower stance. Factory lower chassis subframe connectors were also standard. Available with either the Tremec TR3650 5 speed or the 4 speed auto. Unique to the Mach 1 was the shaker hood and intake assembly, interior Lear retro leather seating surfaces, and an open grill with the floating pony and lower black front valence to give a lower appearance. Rear spoiler was taken from the GT but is not painted with its natural dark gray color. Between this model year and the final 2004 model year, 2004 came with 40 year anniversary badges in place of the running pony fender emblems and cam covers were in natural aluminum rather than the black powder coat in 2003. This car also appears to have aftermarket stripe on it as all black cars came with flat black ghost stripes which were difficult to see and a few owners restriped their cars in other colors such as red and gold. The original stripes were all flat black, bit the rocker molding stripes had a fade effect towards the rear. Aftermarket stripes were usually solid colors. These cars had 305 hp and 320 ftlbs torque from the factory. Today’s Ecoboost Mustang would easily outperform this V8 and the Coyote would send it to Gapplebees. But this car and the Terminator Cobras became the foundation for Ford 4 valve performance, each iteration becoming better and better. I owned a 2003 Torch Red manual and it was a great car. Great video Joe, would be cool to get a test drive of these cars. Yeah they weren’t Terminators but they are still unique and are a part of Mustang history. Take care and all the best.

[@maaacbroom8127]

Pleaseeee I’ve never got beat by ecoboost these cars were underrated and ecoboost is weak stock trust numbers mean nothing

[@lancemannion4113]

No, as quick as the ecoboost is, it's significantly heavier. And with the live rear axle these will hook up better with judicious use of the throttle. These are easily mid to even low 13-second cars right off the floor. And there's no way a stock ecoboost is going to get that. And believe me, I'm not slamming the new Mustang with that engine as they are surprisingly potent and a great compromise if you don't want to shatter earth with the V8. But this generation of the Mach 1 was absolutely no slouch. But yes, any coyote will wipe the floor with it!

[@rygi23]

Had an ‘04. Ran a 12.0 in cold air with bolt-on stuff and good rubber. Impressed the shit out of me.

[@RaitisRides]

Do you miss her?

[@rygi23]

Raiti's Rides is the pope catholic? If I ever get to a point in my life where I can afford another one I’m not going to get an expensive faster Mustang, I’m gonna get the cleanest low mileage ‘04 Mach money can buy. My only regret is somehow missing 4th gear on a run that with certainty would’ve been an 11.9. I wanted to cry LOL.

[@bastee2727]

Hey man, i like your style and the was you point out details. Keep it up and you‘re good at what you do 😀

[@joshuamirabal9891]

A stock Mustang is nearly impossible to find. No goofy intake. No goofy stickers. No badly can change or tune. Just a cat back exhaust. Perfect.

[@michaelharris748]

@@angelfigueroa1206 the 99-01 cobra was rated 320 hp the 03 mach 1 was 305 rating and 04s were 310 but they were all really around 325-330 because they would lay down about 280 to the tires bone stock and was capable of running low 13s stock and high 12s with only a tire which shows its underrated because they would not run that at their weight at 305 hp.

I've always loved the Mach 1 and of course, the Cobra from this New Edge-era. Unfortunately it's rare to find these unmolested. These cars either have been abused beyond the car's worth or they have a "million" miles on the odometers. That's impressive that he only has 39K miles on this Stang's odometer. I guess it goes without saying that this isn't his daily driver.

[@ricardopalma3714]

It was around 2009, I was driving home one day and passed a local used car dealership down the street from my house, and there I spotted, what was at the time, my dream car.. a 2003 Mach 1 Gray. I turned into the lot, got off the car and asked the woman who owned the dealership if I can see the Mach. My intentions were only to pop the hood so that I can admire the engine, sit in the car, row the gears, and daydream for a few minutes. And to my surprise, the woman asked me if I would like to take the car to the gas station and put 10.00 in it... Can you believe it!? Stepping on the clutch and turning on the car almost gave me a mini MI. There was so much emotion for everything prior to that was just pictures and articles in mustang magazines. I took the car for a cruise around town, and I can still remember how much I was smiling throughout lol. The 4.6 DOHC was such a pleasure to drive and so satisfying due to the feedback that you get from a V8. It was cool to see the Shaker hood from behind the wheel. I put 15.00 on the car and had a pretty good year after that haha. I still, and will always have a whole lot of love the ‘03-’04 Mach 1’s & the ‘01 Bullitt (I have never had much interest in the ‘03 Terminator), but now my heart is set on my new dream car, a mid-late 2020 GT PP1 Gray (w/ spoiler delete and MT), awww yeah! :D thanks for showing love to the Mach, she deserves it.
