The 2002 MustangThe 2002 Mustang was not quite as ground breaking a year, as compared to the offerings from the previous year, such as the Bullitt. But there were still prizes for eager Ford fox body enthusiasts, including this awesome and beautiful red Mustang Mach 1.
Exterior Changes
Typical of a carryover year for the pony car, with few new features and also usual for this point in its model production run, sales dipped slightly to just over 142,000 cars.
Interior Styling
Engine and Power TrainThe Engine choices for the 2002 model year cars were the same power plants offered in 2001, with the standard 3.8 liter V6 continuing to produce a solid 193 horse power and very good fuel economy (MPG). Ford's performance offering in the Mustang GT and Mach 1 cars, was the relatively new and scrappy, 4.6 liter modular V8 engines,which kicked out a solid 260 horsepower, making these cars, some of the fastest production models available to the average buyer. Fuel EconomyEPA rated fuel economy was 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, which was reasonably close to the smaller V6's numbers.For the economy minded, buyers could choose Ford's optional 3.8 liter V6 engine, which produced a respectable 193 horsepower and pretty good gas mileage ( EPA rated 17 mpg city / 25 mpg highway).
While the single V6 and V8's was the limit for engine choices this year in North America, Ford engineers crafted a special, Australia only SVT Cobra production of 200 units, which featured the 2001 model's high performance Mustang Cobra power plant with an exotic car like power output rating of 320 horse power !
