2001 proved to be a very exciting year for Mustang aficionados. The 2001 Ford Mustang was available with a number of powerful engines and new trims. The best-known was probably the Bullitt Mustang, named after the 1968 Mustang GT driven by Steve McQueen when he played the detective who gave his last name to the movie "Bullitt."
The standard engine for 2001 was a 3.8-liter OHV V6, rated at 190 horsepower. The GT and Bullitt each had a 4.6-liter SOHC V8, rated at 260 and 265 horsepower, respectively, while the Cobra had a 4.6-liter DOHC V8 capable of 320 horsepower.

What owners say
"Owners of the 2001 Ford Mustang generally love its performance, fun driving experience, and iconic styling. They appreciate the power and handling, especially in V8 models, which deliver an exhilarating ride. However, many noted that the V6 models feel underpowered and there are concerns about traction in poor weather. Overall, it's seen as a good value for a sports car."
Sally's been really amazing to me. Gifted to me 7 y/a 175,000 miles. I wasn't a fan of mustangs after 1968 or convertibles. Would highly recommend keeping as original mechanically. I believe that is why she's a strong B.
July 25, 2025One of the cleaner designs of the late model Mustangs. No gingerbread or unnecessary wings, spoilers, or the hideous "running boards" found on the other models. I added a Cobra IRS and 2001 Cobra 4 cam engine, so it runs and handles a bit better than it did stock. Very enjoyable car to drive on a daily basis.
December 19, 2009performance is good, handles like its on rails, which surprised me considering the aging live rear axle. 0-60 in around 5 flat ran the 1/4 mile in 13.7 at 101 when it was stock. Great subtle looks, Breaks are amazing because of the upgraded cobra brakes that come standard with the bullitt. I own number 2735

December 14, 2008This car is pure american muscle. great acceleration, good handling, and very good braking. The exterior is clean, sleek, and looks like it's fast. Gas mileage isn't that bad if you drive right... which i don't, and it's not very high maintenance even though I make it seem that way (i baby it). Very fun car to drive
February 3, 2011fiberglass hood with roush racing shaker, strut tower brace, k&n filters, b&m short throw shifter, b&m hammer shifter, angel eye projector headlights, sequential tail lights, 3:31 gears, kumho racing tires. fun to drive, fast and can burnout through third gear. real headturner.
August 14, 2009Performance is awesome! American Muscle V8! Braking is good in stock form but upgrading the brakes only makes it better. Handling stock is so-so but when you add full suspension, it handles very well. Appearance is great/mean stock, you can do a plethora of things to spruce up the looks and make it look even meaner! Interior will do, nothing special to talk about. Gas mileage is good for a V8, I get about 18mpg in the city (but it goes down depending on how much you like to use your right foot =)). Maintenance isn't bad at all, it's very well built and nothing major has gone bad on me. This car is a blast to drive, especially because it's stick!
August 28, 2008This car was my first car and will always love it and regret giving it away everday.
March 18, 2008This car is amazing! I will NEVER sell this car. Because of the experience I have had with this mustang and the other 3 fords that I have owned, I will always drive a ford (prefferably a mustang of course). There is not a single thing that I would change about my mustang.
March 5, 2010Performance- V-6 is Underpowered for a Mustang 193 HP? COME ON! There's base rice burners with 4 cylinders with more HP than that... atleast break into the 200 HP range! Build Quality- For an American, it's pretty good... after market Exhaust systems can rattle after a while, but it's all good. Appearance- It's a Mustang....enough said! Cost- 19/26 mpg is pretty good for a college kid. Fun Factor- High points... turn off the traction control and have fun!
December 16, 2009Standard is fun to drive, which makes driving it fun. It's only a V6, so it doesn't have the power I wish it did. But it still looks cool and sounds better cause it has a new muffler, making it rumble a little, but not making it too loud. And the white MUSTANG letters on the rear bumper match perfectly with the green paint.
