Same thing except in 2005 they got the 3 valve motor apposed to the 2 valve 96-04,but 2005 models are dated in 04 from ford cuz they start makin them prior 1 year.

'03-'04 will have a better ride than before those years because of a retuned suspension in 2003.

SXGT

2003 started different (better?) transmission and Block.

i think i read somewhere that 04 have large valves, high lift cams, and identical intake manifold runners. This particular model makes cranking the engine easier, too, with a coil on plug ignition system. This increases control and makes igniting the engine easier than ever. Additionally, the engine is designed for durability with an aluminum upper main, upper thrust, and rod bearings. Fuel efficiency is obtained through well designed combustion chambers. chech this out https://mustangforums.com/timeline/2004-ford-mustang/

They are not the same. In the04' (possible 03' also)model car it has a reprogrammed ecu and larger injectors which arepink 21lb ones. not yellowish 19lb ones. Thats as far as I know.

01GT4.6

1st time hearing that, all I hear are complaints about the t3650.

so if you race an 02 against an 04, stock, same drivers, an 04 will win or not really?
