I had to type everything out and scan the pictures to the computer. I ended up just cutting the pages out so that I could scan them properly. This site is dedicated to the SN95 Community so I thought it would be cool for you all to read. Here are write ups for 1999 - 2004.  I hope you enjoy this information.  - Will  :thumbsup:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1999 Ford MustangPrice: $16,470 (coupe) $21,070 (convertible) $20,870 (GT coupe) 24,870 (GT convertible)Engine: 3.8-liter V-6, 190 horsepower / 4.6-liter V-8, 260 horsepower0-60 mph: 5.4 seconds (GT)Top Speed: 140 mph (GT)After five years with essentially the same body, the Mustang received a facelift and tummy tuck just in time for its 35[SUP]th[/SUP] birthday. Ford replaced the rounded-off 1994 to 1998 body with a New Edge design that aggressively sported straight lines and strong creases. The sides were more vertical than before. The tallest scoop (nonfunctional) ever fitted to a Mustang appeared just behind the door, and the GT was given a simulated recessed scoop that resembled the 1968 Mustangâ€™s 428 Cobra Jet air intake. Dual exhaust tips grew to three inches in diameter.Changes were not cosmetic only-Ford was quick to show off the new carâ€™s engineering improvements, such as the revised floorpan sealing and foam-packed rocker panels that reduced road noise. Subframe connectors cut down on the convertibleâ€™s mid-car shake. Weight was reduced everywhere possible, including with the installation of a trunk lid made from sheet-molded compound. Taller buyers appreciated the extra inch of travel built into the driverâ€™s seat.The best news of all was a power increase all around. The 3.8-liter V-6 jumped to 190 horsepower, and the 4.6-liter SOHC V-8-thanks to a higher-lift camshaft, coil-on-plug ignition, bigger valves, and a revised intake manifold- put out 260 horsepower. Did you know?Ford commemorated the Mustangâ€™s 35[SUP]th[/SUP] birthday with 5,000 limited edition coupes and convertibles that added 2,695 to the cost of a standard GT. These anniversary models came with a special raised hood scoop, rear wing, distinctive side scoops, a black honeycomb deck lid appliquÃ©, body-color rocker moldings, and a special aluminum shift knob.  <img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/3d6ac09a-d6e7-41f4-aabc-4f9e20d2c2f1_zps325010db.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/scan0014_zpsffdc9ea3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/scan0021_zpsaa047cf2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1999 SVT CobraPrice: $27,470 (Cobra coupe) $31,470 (Cobra convertible)Engine: 4.6-liter DOHC V-8, 320 horsepower0-60 mph: 5.5 secondsTop Speed: 160 mphProduction: 8,095The Cobra gained a long-awaited independent rear suspension (IRS) in 1999, shich utilized short and long arms mounted on a tubular subframe. The system bolted directly to the same four mounting points found on the GTâ€™s solid rear axle, with the idea that other Mustang owners might want to perform an IRS upgrade. The IRS added 80 pounds of weight by 125 pounds.SVT engineers gave the 4.6-liter DOGC V-8 a different combustion chamber design and reconfigured intake port geometry to create a more efficient air/fuel mixture. The improved combustion boosted the powerplant to 320 horsepower. The new Cobra put its impressive power through a Borg-Warner-designed T-45 five â€“speed that had been greatly improved by moving its production to Tremec.Unfortunately, SVT had a very embarrassing problem with the new Cobra. Car magazines reported that the Cobras they tested were actually slower than the previous model. Dynamometers revealed the new snake was not producing its advertised 320 horsepower, so SVT recalled all â€™99 Cobras already in private hands and prevented new ones from being sold until the problem could be addressed. SVT replace the intake manifold, engine management computer, and exhaust system from the catalytic converter back on each car and then applied an â€œAuthorized Modificationsâ€ label to the front of each engine compartment.Did you know?In 1999, SVT nearly reached a perfect balance of sales when comparing Cobra coupes to convertibles. Of the 8,095 Cobras it built, 4,040 were closed cars and 4,055 were ragtops. Colors offered included Ultra White, Ebony, Rio Red, and Electric Green. Black was the most-popular color that year.  <img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/scan0033_zps65c26e06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/ca68a1f5-8655-4b61-bdd5-01e99fa94b4f_zpsfdc7a731.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/3e61b368-fd82-411f-8500-63fbbbfa8b66_zpsa6bee5ba.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/scan0036_zpsf582fee8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/scan0037_zps84c6570d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/t594/grn67dmc/Ford%20Mustang/ff1f39d2-e829-436f-b724-41a259c8ac79_zpsd46616f5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
