im thinking of getting an 03 04 stang
hi guys, im from the 5.0 fourms, but im thinking of getting an 03 04 stang and my question is are all gt 4.0 the 2 or 3 valve? only he mach 1 and cobras come with the 32valve right? is this a reliable car? and what are some good begging upgrades
This post makes no sense...the title is talking about 4.6l gt's which are 2 valve.
Then your sayin you want a 4.0l v6 which is 05+
now your happy with 32 valve?

Why '03 or '04?
For the same money you can get a decent '99 or even '01 Cobra.
Newer car, less miles??
When i was car shopping, it came down to a new GT or a used 96-98 Cobra. I ended up going for the newer car just for reliability.
Get an 03-04 Mach 1..Newer car, just like a 03-04 GT, except u get the 32v dohc...Best of both worlds....

yes they are reliable. I've had my GT 5 years and 52,000 miles and other than maintainence, i only had a $8 axle seal go on me. I never even brought it in for any warranty work. Solid car
You also got to take in the fact that the Cobra might have been abused too maybeI would of done the same and go with the newer GT for reliability
Owning the last year of a bodystyle/chassis is a good way to ensure your car will depreciate like an apple..
Maybe when your talking about an 04 GT or V6, but not Cobra's or Mach's...
I disagree. IMO, a GT is just as likely, if not more likely, to be abused than a Cobra. Yea, Cobras are more performance oriented. But the prices also put them out of range for most younger guys. Find a one-owner Cobra, and it's probably some old guy selling it. Find a one-owner GT, and it could be anybody.
I'm talking about if BOTH cars are new edge cars, I'd go for the older Cobra. I just don't like the idea of owning an '04 GT. Owning the last year of a bodystyle/chassis is a good way to ensure your car will depreciate like an apple.
Anybody looking at a 4.6 built before '02 better check to see if it has a newer intake with an aluminum coolant crossover. Nothing like a $800+ repair to kill the reliability image you have of your car.
I wasn't even referring to the body style. Just in terms of model years, a '99 is ancient to me. Almost 10 years old. Granted an 03/04 is still 4-5 years old, that makes a big difference to me.
Summit racing sells the complete manifold kit for $190 and it's easy as pie to swap on.
I don't get you guys. You claim to be able to work on your own cars, but you're afraid of a Mustang that's a couple years older because of reliability issues.
