here is the other pics

The Back

the back drawing

looks like someone was having a little fun with photoshop. i really hope it looks a little different then those photo's!

funny thing is, if you look at the motor trend drawing, it looks like it has both rear and side exhaust. 4 mufflers? must be a big ass engine!!

looks like a stang got raped by a new cougar and then the offspring got raped by a new celica.

I have seen those before. I have to agree...they look photoshopped to me.

I dont like it...I liked the 93-97(?) style, and the early stangs...that ones not my flavor.

Sorry guys, I like it!!!
The front is one of a kind. But the back kinda looks like an Acura Cl!!!

looks very importish except the drawing from motor trend

The drawings are real.
The pics are actually Cougars with a Mustang front end/rearend.
I'm guessing they are either photoshopped or just cars that Ford is using to see what kinda exterior work they can use. Remember, they make DOZENs of small models and use hundreds of different test vehicles.

you can tell that last photo is altered. just look at the scoop in the doors and how it doesn't extend into the rear quarter. that whole line right thre looks kinda fishy. even the rear bumper doesn't look like a stang should.

I think Roadster boy is having fun wit us. He's been posting those all over the web.:bonghitte

That is truly hideous. Glad I'm more a pushrod fan than modular...I'll be able to survive without buying that monster :rolleyes:

Hey guys are these actually going to be fast instead of mediocre? Really, when was the last time a stock mustang could keep pace with an F-Body? Now that the F-Bodies are gone the stangs will probably be slower, but it will be the only cheap RWD american sports car. What a joke.

actually a stock new cobra can hang with a new LS1, if not pull on it a little bit too

Yea your right, a top of the line cobra can hang with a base Trans AM. Next your gonna say, "Well a Saleen can take a Firehawk."

hey just to tell u guys i have no idea hot to do a photo chop so dont get mad at me i found the fake pics at this website

Stock vs Stock the 2001 Cobra is a HINT slower then the 2001 LS1 F-Body.
As I've said earlier, my car ran a 12.907@108 BONE STOCK...
That's a few tenths better then any stock Cobra I've ever seen.

However, now that the F-Bodies are leaving, Ford's not going to lower performance simply because they are the only one's in their class, they're going to try to go after Chevy's Corvette.
Although I think they can get close, I don't think they'll pull it out unless they up their displacement. Even so, Chevy plans on going with either a bigger motor, 5.7L DOHC or 5.7L "2 in the Valley" setup or quite possibly a bigger DOHC motor...

DAMN..that thing is ugly...i would rather have a 68' those things had some balls

This is the next Mustang for me, of course. :) :confused:

here is some info on the 2003 cobra mustang
The Dearborn Assembly Plant (DAP) today began production of four 2003 Mustang Cobra coupes and one convertible. The convertible is slated to appear at the Cobra's introduction in Chicago this February.

The 2003 Cobras will feature a unique dual scooped hood and a unique Cobra only deck lid.

Big News? Cobra fans will get their wish: A six speed manual transmission. More details coming.

The new CObra is gonna get around 350, not 390hp, because it's slated to go head to head with the base Corvette. Plus, it is possible that the new Cobra will be the launch for new technology in the Ford line, for example onboard e-mail.:bandit:

actually cpthrash that hp is correct because motor trend has tested it and blue oval news has tested it and they say it is 390hp and also i sent an e-mail to ford and asked them and they said it will have 390 hp

FORD THE BEST NEVER REST:smoker2:

thats because it will have a blower. Give one to the vette and see what happens. Chevy is not gonna lay down with the corvette either.
the new Z06 has 405 hp n/a. And theres talk of 450 plus for the next Z06, to go after the viper i suppose

The '03 ZO6 is getting 425hp now.
They are using a slightly better head design.
I'll bet some guys will run 11's right out of the box.

Come '04 and the intro of the C6, the base Corvette will get somewhere around 405hp. With the ZO6 getting around 450. Of course, there's also talk of a "big block" version that will make near 500hp!

I agree that thing has been hit with the Mercury Cougar ugly stick. But I remember when the SN95 first came out we where not pleased and the same thing goes for the current body style. I'll wait to see what rolls out of Dearborn before passing final judgement. If Billy fails me, it's time to buy that teal '93 Cobra...

thats kind of cool looking, but im still digging the old body styles better

Ford did whack it with an ugly stick,plus ive heard it will have less HP than the terminator. What kinda crap is that?
If Ford does plan to run with the vette,they need to up the cubes cause as far as i see it their going nowhere.
It bothers me to the fact that they have to supercharge to make 390..
All a chevy guy has to do is throw a few bolt ons and they are already beating the cobra.
I love ford cars and my cobra but they still havent done right in my eyes when it comes to making a modern muscle car.
cause as long as ford slacks,we the buyers have to spend just that much more money to keep up with the competition.
Ford needed to put the new roush 347 in the cobra,430Hp before charging...thats muslce that even vette owners would fear.
With the name Cobra..it should be feared

Sorry but i had to spout.:)

But i very much approve of the 6-speed tranny.

barf. just plain barf. next car's a chevy anyhow, so, doesn't matter

Are they trying to turn it into half Mustang-Half Taurus.The back looks like a Taurus.It keeps getting more girly and ugly, and less beautiful and boyish.:D :sun:

Yeah im gonna have to agree,But when they dont sell im sure ford will get the idea why it didnt...SN-95 body for me. Ford has other ideas for the new mustang,some of them are really nice but if they go with that im afraid ill have to look somewhere else to buyt a car or just keep what i have and just upgrade..

The 2004 Mustang is awesome, plus Ford is planning on bring back the 5.0 based on the 4.6. Man that is going to be one heavy engine.

I see a lot of you guys talk about factory comparisons, WHY? There are aftermarket parts for cars, thats how I made my car kind of fast. If I remember correctly the aftermarket parts for the LS1 are very pricey, but then again so are the ones for 4.6, that why I run the ol' 302.

automobile magazine showed there drawings of there 2004 mustang and it looks nice

I'd like to see them go back to the 302. The 4.6 is a strong running engine, and has the potential to make alot of power, but sometimes I still miss the trusy old 5.0...

well if the new mustang looks like that and not the ohter pics, i would drive it in a heart beat..thats pretty nice lookin..

anyone else have any pics?

I was basing my opinion on the pic that was in Automobile. Very modern with a hint of first generation. Looks awesome like I said.

i can't belive what i just saw and what im bout to say but that is the ugliest mustang i have ever seen. if that is what it really looks like (i hope not :( ) then i probably won't like the 05 stang and the last one i will like is the 03 cuz that one looks pretty cleanbut some of the pics not the drawins do look kinda doctored.:eek2: when 04 rolls round if the stangs look like that imma cry:crying: and kill who ever came up with that design:rocket:

i like the automobile magazine's drawin of the 2004 i would drive that in minute. it looks like they took the rear of the newer models and combined it with the front of 1969 mustang boss 429,but made it smoother and curved it more:coolguy:

the new mustang will most likely look like the automobile's pic. ford said they were going with the 69 look. i have heard rumors about a 5.0 and hopefully they are true(i miss them). i have also heard rumors about ford making smaller displacement engines. muscle mustangs and fast fords said ford will keep thae 4.6(gt) im gonna see about the possible 5.0(cobra). as for people on rice burners saying they beat a mustang, they r just trying to say that their cars are as fast as mustangs.i have a freind who has a civic,a 93 i think, he thinks he can beat anything. i have a 1990 f-150 with a 351 no mods and i can still beat his little bitch ass:sun: :flipa:

I CANT BELIEVE FORD FOR DOING THIS

Ford Leaning Away From DEW Chassis For 2005 Mustang
03 July 2002. Dearborn, Michigan.
Robert Lane


It has been highly anticipated that Ford's next generation Mustang will utilize a DEW98 (Lincoln LS, T-Bird) variant chassis. While that rumor has been circulating for years, reliable sources on Team Mustang told BlueOvalNews that a new hybrid chassis may almost certainly be used instead. It's been well known around Dearborn that the DEW-lite program has been under intense scrutiny from Ford management. Sources at Team Mustang pointed to aggressive cost cutting at Ford that has sparked the desire to find a more suitable chassis.

The hybrid chassis is from the C170 program - otherwise known as the Ford Focus. Sources at Roush have also confirmed that they are testing a C170 hybrid chassis for the next generation Mustang. It wouldn't be the first time that Ford has used a front wheel drive platform for a rear wheel drive application - the new Jaguar X-Type currently uses one. Unlike the X-Type, the next generation Mustang is not currently being considered for an all wheel drive model though.

Team Mustang sources claim that the next generation Mustang will continue to be available in both solid and IRS rear axle versions. Contacts at Roush insist that they have only tested 2005 IRS Mustangs only.

Yeah, going from their mod motors to a carbed 302-based engine with iron heads. That sure is an advancement in technology if i've ever heard of one :rolleyes:

Hey guys, just so you know, thoughs pics are fake, i seen them about 3 months ago on another site, where they said that they altered then to look somewhat like the drawing. Now this is what the 2004 should look like! But i heard that Ford pushed the release date back till 2005.

I was all set to buy the new Cobra SVT until I heard talk of a retro mustang coming in 2004. I have seen the drawings posted, however I am not impressed. I prefer the shorter frame. Are there any other "real" pictures out there in regards to the new body style supposedly being released in 2004/2005?

Plus, $35,000-$40,000 is a lot to spend on a muscle car so I want to make it a good one. Camaro's have just looked putrid for years; same goes for the Firebird.

What would you buy if you were going to spend that kind of money?

I would wait for some real photos of the new mustang to come out. As far as I know there are no released pictures of the car, just speculation. If you dont like the way the new mustang ends up looking, grab an 03 cobra. In my opinion it would well be worth the money.

I think Ford is really over doing it with all these bullshit anniversary models-----the only I have liked to date is the Bullit mustang------the Mach 1 is absolutely, without a doubt---very undistinguished. It has the same fricken motor as a 99 & 01 Cobra-----I think Ford just wants to reinvent every damn car they ever made------to swallow the pockets of their faithful. The 03 Cobra------is to me-------the most breathtaking mustang ever designed-------and they want to fricken redesign that lol-----They don't know what the F$@K they're doing over there-------how in the hell can they possibly make a cobra look better than the 03. They should redesign the v-6 and the GT-------but leave the 03 alone-----why f&!K with genius----the marketing fools at Ford should be all slapped in the face----with their urges to tamper with the winning SN body.

So Rob,

Are you saying I should buy the new 2003 Cobra? :D

I agree with you, this Cobra is by far one of the most beautiful NEW Mustangs out there. I still prefer the original Mustangs, but I already have one of those.

Thanks for the help. Cobra 2003, here I come.

Now, what color to get. lol

Steve.

I'll tell you man------if you are going to pick up a 03 cobra------I must say that I'm jealous------I'll tell you though----if I knew bout the 03 coming out-----I never would have bout an 01------personally------I think its total fu%king bullshit----that Ford kept the 03 rumors so tightlipped. A stock warranty supercharger-----I'm jealous-----I have a 10.5 pound kit on my cobra-----but it doesn't have the great torque curve of the Eaton---its bullshit what Ford did----but thats business----SVT advertising should have hinted strongly in 2001 that a supercharger 'might' be on its way-----they fucked every 01 owner over-----thats a no no in my book-----had I known of the impending supercharger------I sure would have waited-----Fuck YOU FORD:finger: :devil:

Rob,

So what's that you say? Red? Ok, I think I agree. The silver is very stylish, the black is elegant, but red just says "Give me the f*#king ticket already copper so I can get back to driving!" lol (jk to all those nice men and women in uniform :silly2:

Now; Convertable or Coupe? Keep in mind I have 3 kids; nah, they won't be getting into my car with their damned dirty shoes and hands. :eek:

Steve.

I think we should all just buy a 03 cobra what more do you need.

I hear they will offer a Z06 delete package Wonder what they mean:D

we will all soon know what the new sang concept will look like they are unveiling it at the NAIAS soon

I have been with Ford for 15yrs That is the new Stang

I didn't think any changes were going to be made untill 2005. If I am wrong please tell me. You guys talk like the 2004 is the year for change.

I like the ideas that ford has. They just need to be careful. Chevy tried to bring back the impala and the malibu, but they made them into pussy front wheel drive grandma cars. I like the Mach I. It is the only mustang in 03 to have several unique features such as paint, interior, wheels, hood, and engine. They also made it faster than the GT. The Mach I is an upgrade from a GT. That is how it should be, and thats how they did it. As long as they keep their head out of their ass.

damn,that looks too alien like-kinda like all these new toyota pieces of sh*t.

how it wont look like that

You would think ford would put more thought into their designs instead of just putting some ugly vehicle out. The backend is hideous, th front end is ok, but a little dull. But that's just my opinion.
