I love these cars for what they DON’T have - no blinking screens, warning chimes, or overly-complicated “infotainment” systems. Just you, the steering wheel, and the sweet sound of that exhaust!
-
The early 2000s always bring me back to high school. Still got my 03 mach in dsg 🤘
-
I love those basic interiors....no screens and bullshit.
-
man it sounds good
-
Every single 32V 4.6 sounds so much better than almost any other engine of that era, and better than some modern engines honestly.
-
That exhaust note was prevalent all throughout the 2000s here in Phoenix. Good times.
-
I'm generally not a 4.6 fan, but the four valve revs and behaves so much differently. Its honestly a fantastic engine of the day
-
Aside from the newest, this is my favorite generation of mustang. Something about the exterior design, particularly up front was confidently original and completely unique.
-
What a treat this was to watch. Just took delivery of a '22 Mach 1, but I loooooove this old one. Super cool.
-
I just recently sold my 04 Competition Orange Mach 1. I absolutely loved that car and had some special memories with it. I shed a tear seeing it drive away.
-
Something magical about the sound of 4.6 4 valve V8 from Ford!
-
Hopefully he could get a C4 or C5, Terminator Cobra, and a WS6 Trans Am here as well, the 1990s and early 2000s is when American muscle and sports cars began to flourish again and it's my favorite era besides the monsters that were popping up in the mid 2010s like the 2013-14 GT500 and Challenger Hellcat
-
That shaker hood is so cool. Ford should make a mustang trim with a shaker, in ever generation.
-
Had a 95 Mustang and those creaks bring back lots of memories. Mine was an automatic though and had tons of issues.
-
I have an 03 gt with a vortech on it. I bought and built this car in 08, I still love driving it, I have faster newer cars but it’s always nice to get in the old new edge. A very fun blend of a car with a lot of “modern” technology but an older chassis that has the character of an old raw muscle car, and a timeless body design.
-
I had a 1994 GT - the first year of the SN-95 chassis. I put over 200,000 miles on it before it was lost in one of California's many wildfires. I miss that car everyday.
-
My first car was a 1999 V6 convertible, in chrome yellow, had a cold air intake and dual exhaust, still prob the best sounding V6 I've heard, slow as hell but turned a lot of heads and sounded wicked
-
Mannn, watched the whole video hoping for a redline pull but it never went past 6k. The sound between 6 and 7 thousand RPM on a 4 valve is nutty, this video was such a tease for me haha
-
Wow. 8K miles. That thing is so clean. Lots of nostalgia there.
-
My first car was a 1970 mach 1 that my dad and I restored together. The color stripe on the seats is a nod to the Mach 1 of old
