That's better. So is the car in the little pic at the bottom not yours?
Which one do you like better? I realize the GT500 is the more powerful, but, which is the most enjoyable?

You absolutely do notice the missing 185 horsepower.
Well the Bullitt still has less than 200 miles on it, so I don't have much to compare yet. I have over 2000 miles on the GT500, and they are all driving for the fun of it miles, not commuting/traveling miles.
Most notably, You absolutely do notice the missing 185 horsepower.
But I did take them both on a little drive around my own little private "secret" race track. A few things I noticed were the Bullitt is louder (does sound good but louder) than the GT500, (I always prefer less noise) and as much as everyone raves about the Bullitt's handling, from that one little pushing them both around the curves and corners on my "secret" 12 mile loop, both my wife and I think the GT500 handles much better.
But for the $20,000 price difference, I think I would be somewhat disappointed if the Bullitt felt a lot better than the GT500 in the corners...
Maybe it is the much fatter super car tires? Wonder how the Bullitt would do with the GT500's tires?
I would like to do a fairly comprehensive comparative write up about them if I get some spare time and some more time in the Bullitt.

It depends on where I am going. I don't park the GT500 anywhere I can't see it. So most of the time I am just driving it for fun or my destination has suitable parking. I drive the Bullitt all the same places I drive the GT500 and many more...
