[QUOTE="99MustangGTman, post: 16439828, member: 55199"] I think you also have to take into consideration that this was around 2002 when news the 2003 Cobra and 2003 Mach 1 were going to be released. A time in America where there was little innovation, the horsepower wars were non-existant, and even hearing of a car breaking 300hp was pretty stellar. So to look back at the 2003 Mach 1 and think, "hey, it only had this or that," is a little self-deprocating. I'm not an 03/04 Mach 1 expert, but from what I remember the manual version had a Kellog forged crank like the 03/04 Cobra, it was a 4V that had high-flowing heads, a high RPM N/A engine. The Mach 1 had the very sought after WAP aluminum engine block. Yes, the seats are the same as the 03/04 Cobra, which are the same as the 2001 Bullitt, which all had different coverings, and were great seats. I can't say I liked the manual transmission, as it had long throws. I got to drive my friend's 03' DSG Mach 1 quite often. I think some people were love it or hate it when it came to the wheels, but they did grow on me and I do think they did throw back to the original Mach 1 in a way. The cluster was simple, yet distinctly fit for a Mach 1. The Bullitt was anemic, as all new edge 2Vs were, unless they had forced induction like mine had, and I still do love the styling the body had. I can't blame Ford for branching out with "new" models, but to me the GT350 is the most pure and raw Mustang they have ever built to this day. [/QUOTE]
