Every Thursday, we\u2019ll throw it back to the end of the millenium and check out what 1999 had to offer (aside, of course, from Prince!). Want to share?

The SN95 look was the more drastic change from the Fox Body Mustangs that ruled the streets for over a decade. The New Edge wasn&#8217;t as drastic as far as change but some of the most iconic Mustangs were produced during the New Edge Era (1999-2004). For example the 1999 Cobra was the Mustang ever to receive an independent rear suspension. Popular New Edge Mustang iterations included the Bullitt, Mach 1, Saleen, Terminator,\u00a0 and who could forget the iconic 2000 Cobra R developed as a track monster by SVT.<\/p>\n<p>The 1999-2004 Mustangs continue to rule the aftermarket when it comes to availability as well. To get a sense of of some upgrades that are common to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanmuscle.com\/high-horsepower-1999-2004-mustang-gt.html\">New Edge owners check out what our friends over at American Muscle have available.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>20 years ago Ford decided to give it&#8217;s SN95 Mustang platform quite the face lift.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":65718,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3470],"tags":[6959,7185,5755,7184,43,5382,892,53,41,7182,7183],"class_list":["post-65717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-rj20","tag-20-years-ago-new-edge-mustang-hits-the-streets","tag-bullitt","tag-cobra-r","tag-ford","tag-irs","tag-mustang","tag-new-edge","tag-news","tag-saleen","tag-terminator"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2000-gt-mustang-at-the-track-e1570662158591.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p42YSK-h5X","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65719,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65717\/revisions\/65719"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
