Well...
Drive It Like a Movie Star
The 2008 Mustang Bullitt uses those short gears to rip to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. That's a stunning 0.7-second better than the 2005 Mustang GT. And the Bullitt's 13.8 seconds to 102.1-mph quarter-mile performance is the best we've yet recorded for a production three-valve Mustang. The Bullitt's powertrain feels even more powerful than it is, and the shifter is among the very best on any car at any price..

Evan Smith at MM&FF magazine ran a bone stock 08 Bullitt on the factory rubber to a 13.29 @ 105 mph in the 1/4 mile. Evan is a top notch drag racer, though, so his numbers are almost always better than an average driver.

I have seen quotes for the GT of 5.2 sec in the 0-60 run, so it is interesting that Edmunds would mention a .7 sec difference, meaning they got closer to 6.0 when they tested.

Traction is a problem is our cars. My GT pulled a 4.7 sprint from 0-60mph on drag radials, but on street tires we're talking about 5 seconds flat. Maybe Edmunds revved too high, spun a lot, and posted slow numbers accordingly. Leave the traction control on, and times are slow, too, as the computer will pull timing, reduce fuel, and even apply brakes to control tire spin.

According to the article in Feb 5.0 Mustang, their best time of 9 runs was 13.48 at 101.79. Short time was 1.99 seconds. It said they launched at 5000 rpm and shifted above 6000 (apparently at redline) on the best run, and the 6500 allowed them to complete the quarter without the extra shift into 4th gear.
