2008 News - Old & Incorrect
I'm sure everybody here heard the cool news today. Ford is going to unveil the new Special Edition Mustang at the New York Auto Show later this month. All that's known right now is the engine is supposed to be a 5.4 liter V8, and the car's going to use the "Bullitt" name once again. Also heard thru the Grape vine of a GT500KR for 2008.
Anyone hear anything else?

Where exactly did you hear about this?
So... a 2008 Bullit... I guess it might make sense for the 40-year anniversary.
On the NYIAS website, under "NY debuts", there are 2 "Ford Mustang Special Edition", but both show a picture of the Shelby GT-H:

I'd love to see what their idea of an "answer" to the Camaro is, using the 5.4. There is no N/Aversion of that motor making 400HP, anywhere. Time to move on Ford.

hmm... this is real early speculation....
I personally expect to see the 2008 S/E and a Shelby Variant at the two major shows in '07.
HTT was quoted in a Toronto newspaper that they are investigating doing an "R" version of the Shelby... i'm guessing put on a diet of somekind, and maybe getting the Ford GT motor or something

It has been speculated a Bullitt was around as a prototype according to some IMBOC forum posts, but no one has confirmed anything about an engine.
Man, if any of this is true, I might have to re-think my 2007 order too!

Most likely they would show the 09 refresh next year in Detroit. I'm sure it will probably have something packing 400HP and IRS. If it doesn't then well it's back to the same old Camaro's beating us stock out of the box.

No offense, but somebody needs to check dates and facts before posting speculation that is already almost two months old.
