2003 Ford Mustang “The Shadow”
About the 1999–2004 Ford Mustang
from the generation archive
The 1999 Ford Mustang carried the New Edge restyle, applying sharper character lines and larger wheel openings to the SN95 platform that had launched in 1994. The base engine remained the 3.8L (232 cu in) Essex V6, and the GT used the single-overhead-cam modular 4.6L (281 cu in) V8, revised to 260 hp net for 1999. The 1999 SVT Cobra gained an independent rear suspension, the first Mustang ever fitted with IRS from the factory, with its DOHC 4.6L rated at 320 hp net. The New Edge years produced a run of memorable special models: the 2000 Cobra R with a 5.4L DOHC V8, the 2001 Bullitt GT, and for 2003-2004 the supercharged Terminator SVT Cobra alongside the revived Mach 1. The 2004 model year closed the generation and coincided with Mustang's 40th anniversary. The 2004 Mustang was the last SN95/New Edge year, but it was not the last solid-axle Mustang generation; the 2005-2014 S197 that followed kept a live rear axle.
