2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1
The 2003
Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a car built on a passion for Mustang
heritage. Fortuneatly for many buyers Ford continued to offer the
Mach 1 for another production year. The 2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1
was a virtual carryover of the last year. The only significant changes
were the offering of some new colors: Screaming Yellow and Competition
Orange. The 2004 Mach 1 also features bare aluminum valve covers
which are not painted black like the 2003 model.
As in 2003 the Mach 1
is powered by a 4.6-liter, 32-valve, dual-overhead-cam V-8. The
engine makes use of specially calibrated cams, a modified upper
intake to accommodate the ram-air system, a forged crank (cast crank
in automatic transmission application) and performance exhaust manifolds
to produce 320 horsepower.
The vehicle is lowered one-half of an
inch and is equipped with a firmer suspension for improved handling.
The handling package includes new front and rear coil springs with
adapted load and rate, Tokico struts and shocks, unique stabilizer
bars front and rear and added frame rail connectors to stiffen the
body.
Thirteen-inch front rotors and performance
Brembo calipers provide excellent stopping capability. The calipers
have a black-anodized finish and are visible through 17-inch Magnum
500 wheel spokes. Mach 1 comes standard with anti-lock brakes and
traction control.
