I considered commenting on the improvements in the '03/'04 styling (styling being all I've been commenting on the entire time), as it was an improvement over the '94-'02, to be sure, but just didn't. I truly loath the '94-'02 styling, and the couple of years that followed weren't enough of a difference to draw me in.
That's the beauty of the Ford 9". Gotta love a drop-out third member! Same with the Mopar 8.75"...
05 was the new one. 03-04 was a 40th anniversary emblem change.
That may be one of the finest examples I've seen of one in years. The wheels go a long way toward my approval, I must admit.
I do appreciate the "Bullit"...
I love the hood on my Mach. Currently those wheels are in the attic and it’s got black bullits on it instead, 315’s in the rear. The Mach 1 wheels shown had 285’s all around.
The big draw of the Mach 1 was the 32 valve all aluminum engine where as the Cobra got the 32 valve iron block supercharged version. The bullit, I believe, got the standard GT which was 16 valves and possibly a cold air intake.
The bullit also sat higher than the Mach 1 in factory setup. The Cobra had independent rear suspension.
The Bullit and Mach had the same chin spoiler.
But could you imagine if it was in a Coupe, that would shave off another couple of hundred pounds!!!
That's why in the NMRA coyote stock class 90% run the FoxBody because of the weight savings.

Since I have an endless supply of money I'll take a 69 Boss 429 please......
I want to see what someone can just on the motor alone. No turbo, just straight up engine tuning.
I own a jeep, I can't afford a twin turbo 7.3 FoxBody
Nice looking car. Is that a shaker hood? A friend has Shelby badged version of that generation with the supercharged 4.6. My personal favorite bodies are the ‘10-‘12 S197s (but I’m biased as well😀)

You need that YouTube money.
I'll admit that I thought the rears (in the pic) could've used a little more width, but it's a great looking car, nonetheless. As for the drivetrain differences, I had no idea. I do remember the Cobra having the IRS, as a buddy of mine was pretty excited about it.
Familiar with these? Probably my favorite of all the newer Mustangs...
Maybe I could start a YouTube channel about Jeep Ducking.... probably make a few mill off the mall crawler crowd sponsors!!!!!!!!
The only problem would be how to keep @AndyG from photo bombing me!!!!!!
