05 S197 GT owner observations on new/old 01 Bullitt
My 1st mustang was a 05 GT S197, bought new 4 years ago . . . . . . loved everything about it, minus the fact it has no radio auxilary input! I just bought a 01 bullitt yesterday . . .. . . I think I have a new love! The short throw is AWESOME . .. . .the seats look COOL . .. . .. the suspension is tighter than my S197, the exhaust note is sweeter (probably because of a BASSANI exaust) . .. . . .things I don't like . . .. . .the shifter and radio seem really far away, seems like a little more road noise when compared to the S197. . . . . I guess that should be expected on a car with origins going back to 1979! But it is a good complement to my 05 S197 GT.

congrats on your 01 dude! They are indeed pretty sweet cars, though I might be a little biased. Road noise is higher than some newer cars, but its not so bad. you get to hear those pipes a little more than you normall would 
i've also removed half of my rear seat, so its even louder in my car
as for feeling tight, mine's always been that way, since we bought it with just 7K on the clock. how many miles are on yours? and your s197? either way the car is pretty well balanced. throw that thing around some corners and you'll relaly be having fun
