After halting production on the 2002 in the United States (2002 Cobra information), Ford came back VERY strong with the 2003 Mustang Cobra. This car, nicknamed ‘The Terminator’, produces power unlike any other Mustang to date. Coming from the factory with an Eaton supercharger, even the stock 2003 Cobra screams like a whining baby. You can judge whether or not that’s good.
Yet another Mustang Specs post. We are planning to compile spec posts for every single Mustang! These specs were pulled from the Ford Performance Group website. If you are looking for info about ANY Ford vehicle, this is the place to look.

2003 Mustang Cobra Specs
Engine Type: V8
Horsepower: 390 @ 6000 RPM
Compression: 8.5:1
Displacement: 4.6L/280 CID
Torque: 390 ft/lbs @ 3500 RPM
Obviously not as powerful as the Cobra R, but these numbers are still attractive.
Top Speed: 160+ MPH
0-60 MPH: 4.5 seconds
Cutting nearly an entire second off the 0-60 time and increasing the top speed north of 160MPH makes this model by far, the most powerful factory Cobra to date.

Great website! I found what I need but for one thing: do you have info on how many 10th Anniversary Torch Red Coupes were made with the special “red and black” combination interiors? I have such a car and cannot find this particular spec? Thanks for the help and time! Kimble Bartlow.
Kimble, I am sorry but I do not know. I would assume VERY few though, that sounds like an amazing car! Do you have pictures?
