Is the 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1 more ICONIC than the 2021 Mach 1? 

The Mustangs have come a LONG way and really improved, but the sound of those 4.6 and older 5.0 engines is just hard to beat. It's that certain Mustang tone they created even at idle.

Almost sold my 2003 mach 1 a few months ago. Glad I came to my senses and kept it. Definitely would've missed it.

2003-2004 Mach 1 Sitting at the light, a small rev to get her ready and the shaker gives you a nod of acknowledgment that it’s go time.

"Wrapped up in a zip lock bag and touched with a diaper" This is why we love you. 😂

Had a red one about ten years ago. The Mach1 was really unique, and you never really saw a lot of them on the road. Ended up selling it for something more practical. Looking at the values now, there has definitely been some appreciation.

This is the happiest and most enthusiastic I’ve seen Joe in a while. Keep up the good work guys.

As a fellow New Edge owner. I appreciate you not bashing this for the “outdated” technology like some people on RU-vid do. Great review and it looks like you had a blast. 👍🏼👍🏼

That’s a well kept Mach1! The new one should have come with the shaker hood. Thanks to Blake for letting you review it Joe. Well done! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I remember seeing this car in Motor Trend Magazine back in '03.

The terminator/Cobra gets so much love, for good reason, but the Mach 1 is arguably more unique and more important.

This is one of my favorite model mustangs the design is way ahead of its time for 99-04

My wife and I are original owners of a 2003 Zinc Yellow Mach 1 with 25, 208 miles on the clock. These cars have been unappreciated for some time, always in the shadow of the 03/04 Terminator. You did it justice and your reactions were both genuine and entertaining! I also truly appreciate your knowledge and how you painted a picture of fact and heritage for the Mach 1 name. Once again a straight up review!

My dad had a yellow and black 03 Mach 1, my favorite car to this day

He showed way more excitement driving a 2003 Mustang rather than a Chevy Sonic.

One of the best mustangs ever made especially visually 👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾

Last year my son told me he was going to inherit my Mach 1 after I die and he would enjoy it. I don't doubt that's true but I started driving it a lot more, taking it from Utah to Louisiana and back. Comfortable. Reliable. Classic. Yes, it will hold the governor (155) for at least 25 minutes without the slightest drama. If they had at least OFFERED a shaker hood on the new Mach 1 I might have been tempted, but, for all practical purposes, the 2003-2004 Mach 1 is a practical and thoroughly enjoyable car. Although we have a 2017 Chevy SS that fits more people in it and is more modern (including a touch quicker and, allegedly, faster), the 2003 Mach 1 is my "go to" driver because it is, to me, the most enjoyable car I have ever driven, bar none!

13:40 that iconic sensational classic Mach 1 exhaust notes are the best classic eargasmic sound for me. Love it.

New edge GTs and Cobras: "I'm a V8, I need special fender badges!" New edge Mach 1: "Got any more of those base model fender badges?"

That Mach 1 is sweet and sounds like a beast. In the mid 80s my good friend had a 5.0 Mercury Capri (the twin to the Mustang GT 5.0), it was a dealer demo car. We drove from Boston to Killington, Vermont in 1 1/2 hours (2 1/2 drive) without going to jail. Awesome review!

Such a clean Mach 1, and that engine sounds amazing. It was great to see you take a trip back in time Joe.

I recently had the chance to buy either a 06 350z for $6,000, or the 2004 mach 1 for $7500. Thank god i chose the mach1, i got an incredible deal for it in great condition with 89k miles.

Love this car. My favorite from that year is the Saleen 🔥 and can’t forget about the iconic Cobra 🐍

I had a 2V 2004 GT back in the day. The flashbacks im getting too. Man, i think i need one of these. I'll have to convice the wife.

Definitely zonk the fact that the new Mach 1 doesn't have a shaker hood

This is the happiest I think I've seen him reviewing a car lol

I own a 04 Mach1 in Competition Orange. I bought it brand new, it has 29,000 miles on it and I have so much fun with it. It looks almost as good as the day I brought it home. I loved your review, you were having to much fun, lol.

Top of the morning! What a beautiful mustang!

Joe “ I just left a car show with my car club and my Challenger Shaker R/T. Now saw this video and you are really making me miss my 04 Mach1 Dark Shadow Gray. Nothing beats the sound of a Mustang. Sounds like mine in the day. Thanks for the vid. Flashback!!!

It was this 2003 mustang Mach 1 that made me fall in love with mustangs and cars in general. I remember being in high school dreaming about this car. Amazing video, thanks for taking me back.

Best review ever !! This reminded me of my younger day’s . The joy on your face was priceless. 2003 Mach 1 is a great car .

That tone that the Mach1 put out might have been one of my favorite muscle car sounds. Absolutely incredible. One of my favorite videos. Thanks for the badass content, my friend!

Joe says 'Using THE Google' and i think that's sweet

Love the 4.6L sound! Blake definitely took really good care of his Mach 1. Great video. Glad you make videos about older cars with special character.

Absolutely awesome. The sound. The shaker. The bare bones driving. I remember when these were brand new and now they're classics. God I'm getting old.

Two things that really deserve mentioning. Ford spent MILLIONS perfecting that sound and the sound alone for this car. Secondly, opposed to a SOHC 16v that comes with the 1999-2004 GT, all Mach 1 and Cobra come with the DOHC 32v which attributes that WONDERFUL engine rumble that makes these cars so damn coveted even 20 years later.

I always loved this generation of Mustang. It was a nice blend of Import and Muscle.

Loved this video man. I miss my Orange 04 Mach 1 I had. Brings back memories for sure. Thanks!

Hey Joe! Love that this is one of your viewers vehicle. Great video! Congratulations to Blake on owning a fantastic car. I got goose bumps hearing that iconic Mustang sound as you shifted through the gears. 🔥

Love my 04 Mach 1. This person is right. The 4.6L V-8 is a lot of fun. He didn't mention the engine red lines at 6800 RPM. It reves very smooth. A lot of people are swapping out to the 5.0L coyote engine. No thanks. The shaker is what gives this bad boy it's character. Very cool look.

I’ve owned a 2003 and 2004 Mach 1 and I’d love to own a third one these are the perfect Mustangs

I like how the owner keep it stock not changing anything even the wheels. Beautiful eventhough it's stock bodykit.

I would love to see Joe review a Terminator next. The 03-04 Cobra was the car that started the horsepower war that is still going on to this day.

Kudos to Blake for obviously taking care of this car. Its 17 years old and looks almost new. It really matters when an older car is kept clean. People notice things like that because everyone expects an older car to look old. More of these viewer cars Joe! I think its a great idea.

The cars from this era will forever hold a special place in my heart. If I won the lotto I’d have one of these, terminator, WS6, SS and a GTO lol

Sunday, Fresh Coffee and a new Raiti's Rides Vid? Can't get any better!

The 03 was special because back in 03 there wasn't a plethora of cars that you could get that were performance cars.nowadays if you have 60k you can get 500 hp cars from 5-6 different auto makers.I liked these & that is a nice ride.

What else can I ask for, Sunday off, big ass cup of coffee and your review of nice ride. Thanks mr Joe.

A friend of mine had a gray 20003 Mach 1. Ford sure nailed the retro. The interior, especially the gauges, was perfect. It was a very cool car and really fun to drive

Love that shaker scoop.

I'm a GM guy but I love that car... was looking to buy one yrs ago

At first I thought Joe was exaggerating about the eargasms. He was not. That was music. Sweet, sweet music.

I'm glad Blake drives his Mach 1, I'm not a fan of people, who don't drive their Mustangs Enough. I really wanted a Mustang, hopefully I'm fortunate enough to get one.

Yes it is. Not only does it look better but is sounds better, like a Mustang should sound like.

the exhaust note is perfect

All those classic Mach 1 price value gunna shoot up now just like the Supra

Gotta love hood induction. I don't care if the performance gains aren't very much, it's still cool.

I'm a coyote guy (own a 2013 gt) and the coyote has the 4.6 in power but the 4.6 beats the crap out of the coyote in the sound dept. The noise those 4.6s make is unreal

Had a 67 mustang with a cleavland 351 manual shift dual feed holly and headers it was brutal. 45 years later 2004 mach 1. Safer faster and still a legend.

Lovely Mach 1, I can understand why the follow ship is growing for this shape. 🤙🏻.

I love your joy and happiness making this video! It makes me happy!

Those Mach1s are going up in value now.

Absolutely. I owned a new black Mach 1 in 04. I put a full exhaust and 4.10 gears on mine. Thing was awesome. Miss that car.

I’ve had my 2003 Mach 1 since summer of 2003. On a whim I decided I wanted a new car and it was in my budget. I didn’t even know the Mach 1 existed in 2003/2004 at the time. Dealer listed the price too low online and snagged her up. Stock version reminded me of the Gt350 when I came back out. But since then mine is procharged, engine rebuilt with forged internals, full exhaust from BBk long tube headers back with exhaust cutouts. I’ll never sell that car. But I’m still excited for the 2021 Mach 1. May have to pick up a used one once they have been out for awhile and the price drops.

Mustang's always have a special place in my heart

Raiti living his best life ripping thru those gears🔥👍🏽🌮

Lot of power in that baby ! Since about 375 hp at the wheels, I’m Guessing about 450-500 hp at the crank... In 1996 I bought a new ‘96 Mustang GT w 5 speed manual, think stock it was a measly 210 hp for a 4.6 Liter V8 !! Which was probably about 180 at the wheels . It was fun driving it , but obviously underpowered!

Beautiful car. I had an '04 40th Anniversary GT Convertible 5 speed in Competition Orange with a black top and black leather interior. Mach 460 sound system. Bought it brand new. To this day I regret selling it. Great video Joe!

Love this! Brings back memories! Thanks for the review!

This was a Mach 1 done right! Without that Shaker Hood, there is just something missing. Not only did they not put a Shaker Hood on the new upcoming Mach 1 but I heard somewhere the designers had to "resist the urge to put on a Shaker Hood". What!?!? Why would this be something to resist? Anyways, well done again Joe, and thank you Blake for allowing us to see your amazing ride. BTW, Blake's Mach 1 sounds SWEET!

I bought a Torch Red 03 Mach brand new, still have it.....4500 miles!! Awesome car.

I really enjoyed that intro, all that history my brother

sticker price on that car was $38,800 I drove mine for two years, loved every minute.

I had an 80 something convertible with the 4.6 , I loved the way It sounded .

Being direct, and answering the video's question, Yes! Why? The Shaker Hood. Lucky enough to get my, comp orang '04, while still in high school. Shattered gearing in the oil pump after a mid-12 pass, a seized motor to follow, in went a custom-built cast iron 4.6L short block. Now it's stroked, blowin', and cammed.

Mustang Sounds Great! What A Fantastic Sweet Sound Of That 4.6L V8!

Nothing beats Ford Mustang exhaust sound! Sounds amazing

Great vid! The edge design 99 to 04 mustang is my favorite mustang.

I come back and watch this video every now and then I love this gen of mustang

my dad picked up a 2003 mach1 back when the first came out. He threw on an aftermarket x-pipe, flowmaster american thunder exhaust, short throw shifter, and a stickier performance tire and he would run high 12's. crazy fun car ( I snuck it out on some joy rides...) another great video thank you

I had a 1999 35th anniversary put over 300k on sold it and bought 1997 purple grey leather only one here in canada 4.6 BBK cold air intake throttle body headers off road x pipe flowmasters, with stage one tune 5 speed my 1999 was auto so glad I sent back to a stick my first every stang was a 1969 Mach one blue on black 4 speed hurst shifter love all your videos its nice to see some older ones for us old guys

Love the sound of this car

I didn’t appreciate these mustangs until I bought one to flip. It’s an 03 GT convertible premium. It was a New York car and I looked at it good before buying it. Rusty, yes. But not as bad as you think which I was surprised to learn. I’m cleaning it up and making it road worthy for someone in Florida to have a fun beach car, or first car to tinker with. Because of this car I’ll be hunting for a Mach 1 for myself, hopefully less rusty.

My buddy bought a black mach 1 yesterday 40k km on the car 22grand all original such a nice ride

just had my 04 mach1 5.3L all forged stroker rebuilt. Long tube American Racing headers, stage 2 cams putting in some break-in miles. 44k on the body. still love this body style.btw car ran a best of 11:70 before dropping a sleeve.

8:27 - Got me hooked! 💨

Damn mr.joe i can see this car fitting your personality ;)

I had a couple of Fox Body Mustang GTs (‘87 & ‘88).......this video brings back great memories.

Last time I came this early I became a father!

Awesome car! I still want an 03-04 Mach in Azure blue 5 spd with interior upgrade and audio. Throw a steeda tri ax shifter on it, and you're set!

A dope mustang way to start a morning off 🐎😏💯 love it ❤️ and keep bringing the good videos coming 💯💯💯💯💯

The 99-04 body style is still my favorite.

I had an Azure Blue 04 Mach 1. Wish I’d kept it. A shame they didn’t put the shaker hood on the new ones.

Oh yes! That's my ultimate SN95....I'd take a Mach 1 over a Terminator! Superb engine mods on that one, too, and the wheels and right height are spot on. More reviews of older Mustangs please, Joe! :)

I had a 2003 Silver FORD Mustang GT with a 5sp Manual!...I was Modifying it with a 2003 Cobra front brand New Clip (Cobra Hood, front Fenders and Bumpers with Fog Lamps and Black Rubber Air Dam/Spoiler and I had plan to replace the Stock Headlamps with Projector/Halo types! I also, had Plan to Swap in a 2003 Cobra IRS rear end!...Some Suspension Upgrades and install a Quad Exhaust Setup! Well, I no long have it now, I am now a Left Leg Below the Knee Amputee, so I Swap a Guy for his 2008 FORD MUSTANG V6 with 5sp Auto Trans! I like the New 2021 FORD Mustang Mach 1 and I am going to wait and see!...I am also looking at the Shelby American Built Shelby GT as well!...I am Just Saying!...God Bless America! 😇

"Middle of nowhere," he says while standing right in front of a busy highway.

I didn’t even have to watch the video just read the title and it’s an instant yes

How awesome!! When I was 18 years old I bought a brand new 2004 Mach 1 in Screaming Yellow, it was so awesome! I have to say I hate that he put an aftermarket exhaust on it! One of the special things about the Mach 1 was the exhaust! It was special tuned to not have the splatter sound it sounded so good.

Perfect mach 1! Lovin' the deep dish 315 wide mach 1 wheels, that's how you do it!

the car owner when he heard joe saying he will eat on the engine: 👁️🔴👁️ 💧👄💧

Always loved that Mach 1 Mustang
