2003 Ford Mustang GT: Ultimate Guide

2003 Mustang GT

2003 Ford Mustang GT

There weren’t many changes made to the 2003 GT, but the changes that were made were generally well-recieived and new package offerings made sure that options were customizable. The Deluxe and Premium packages that Ford debuted in 2001 and 2002 stayed around.An interior upgrade package was added for the 2003 GT, and included larger headrests and silver interior enhancements like the shifter ring, door lock soldiers, and instrument bezel. A Bright Wheel option was available, but this was nothing more than the chrome 1999 and 2001 Cobra wheel with Mustang centercaps.

The GT was once again powered by the sold 4.6 liter V8 and its single overhead cam engine configuration. The two manual transmissions that were available were the T5 and the TR-3650, and the automatic transmission was the 4R70W. The engine was good for 260 horsepower and healthy 302 lbs of torque. With a curb weight of just over 3,400 lbs for the coupe it was capable of zero to 60 mph in mid 5 seconds and quarter mile times in the 13.9 seconds.
