They have so much hertiage to pull from.

Its nice that within a span of 7 years they've finally made 'their own' SE rather than just pulling a name from the past.

I've always wanted a bullitt... but I think the coming onslaught of stangs and redesigns will keep me away from this one.

 

I wonder how long Ford is going to produce the new Bullit? I mean, isn't there suppose to be a body style change for 09? So is this a 1 year deal?

 

not really, I think they moved back the redesign to 2010

 

1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

 

Bullitt will be a SE ... 1 year model run ... we assume (like last time)
2009 will probably yeild another SE
and 2010 will be the reskin

 

For those that read occasional another newspaper just for a nice change
see http://www.ponysite.de/bullittnews.htm
The BULLITT SE Concept car is given a GO for the SEMA 2006

 

I just hope that they do not include the side window leuvers. I think those would probaly keep me from buying the Bullitt completely (I would then just go for a regular GT).

 

Gawd, as long as they don't include that obnoxious fake hood scoop! Give us some 'reimagined' extractors reminiscent of the original car - or, barring that, the hood from the Shelby GT-H would work, too.

 

ditto, I have always loved the bullitt

 

That would be awesome!!!

I know alot of people have a bad taste for Eleanor, but i have always liked the original version as well as several S197 interpretations!!!

 

I don't know what they could really do different, realistically. Maybe some suspension upgrades and brakes like the last one with only a minor increase in hp. What was the last ones, +5hp? Don't forget about the Shelby GT coming out with only +25hp? Does anyone really think they'll give the Bullit more power and torque, ie. better performance than a *Shelby*. This is just food for thought. I hope the car far exceeds expectations.

 

HOWDY FOLKS ... :~))

I just joined early this morning. I will be writing something soon as an "intro" to this website. Being of considerable age now, I think what I write will give you all something to ponder as we review the past, current, and future offerings from the Great American Blue Oval.

I surely hope somebody significant from FORD reads it ... (???)

If Yall find it somewhat lengthy I certainly apologize but since FORD is thought to read these threads from time to time it just might be something worth my (or, "OUR") while to do.

Anyway ... I'm glad to be here and I'm sure I will enjoy everyone's company ~ !!!

Take Care :~))

 

Welcome! We look forward to reading your missive.

AND we have another Bullitt owner in our midst! Cool.

 

Why not? It's a *Bullitt*. Steve McQueen could kick Carroll's butt any day of the week.

 

The only thing that will sell me on this car is Horse Power. I am not a fan of the stripped down look. I want all the goodies. That's why I prefer the Mach1.

 

The car should have the upgraded brakes, nicer suspension, maybe a cool hood. But i am not a fan of making the car completely different.

OF COURSE they should all be manual. If the auto was actually faster shifting without a comp reflash... then it would be a faster car, which it isnt. And besides both movie cars and all of the old se bullitt are manual. The big things are. Put 3.73's in it, increase power a bit. Throw the hurst shifter in it with a less flashy interior, no mycolor. make the gauges look green all the time. Nicer brakes. read: swap them into my 07 gt. spoiler delete. The hips arent going to happen, and neither is a ducktail (one thats actually part of the sheetmetal of the body i mean), as long as its the current body, it'll take too much work to put those types of features in the car, especially for a special edition. I wouldnt be surprised if it ends up being a v6 type exterior DHG with dual exhaust, and only like 320-330hp. i think upgrading the gears is pretty important. and the hurst shifter would be the ticket.

Most importantly.. they should ALL be green none of the blue and black junk from the first one.

 

where's the picture from the main page?? Is that an official one?

 

Magic 8 Ball says you won't be buying a Bullitt then...

 

That's one coming after the Bullitt, in mid 08 OR FALL 08 5.4 V8 425HP

 

If that is true....SIGN ME UP!!!!!
