Because Mr. Cool Steve McQueen and Bullitt mean something to Mustang heritage.

I can only assume that those who don't get it are too young and don't realize what an impact the movie had for its era - both for movies, and for Mustangs.

I know its not for everybody, and that's cool. But it is a big deal in Mustang land.
That is exactly true!! Is it wasnt for that movie and the bullitt mustang there wouldn't be a gt/cs! And who knows if the mustang would have caught on as big as it did, or even if there would still be a mustang....the gt/cs is a new gt with some appearance plastic, and this isn't about which is faster that is a whole other topic. The bullitt is a legend! So this poll is a no brainer the bullitt is the winner!

I like the CS.I think Ford should have given it the different tailights, like the original. I had a choice between The CS and a Bullit..in the end the Bullitt won out because its a special car........But I still do like the CS.

just curious why is the Bullit a special car and the CS is not, both are tribute cars.

Funny how the GTCS guys mostly post in the thread in the Bullitt section. (nothing wrong with that, this is the busier thread) Are they not voting in here too?

the CS cars are a simple trim package. The bullitt cars come number and are limited run cars. They will make as many CS cars as wanted/ordered and the bullitt cars will only be made until they reach the low volume number they choose to make.

A used Bullitt (kinda long) love advice though

So, I test drove a Bullitt for the first time today and it was awesome and I want it!

$24,989 with a Mileage of : 20,1xx

What kind of advice can you guys give me - I have never owned a Mustang and not into putting a bunch of mods on it...although I would like to add those louviers ( guess that's how you spell it)? I am/would not race it...but I wouldn't mind laying heavy on that pedal a time or two.

I am not a 'car guy'. Reading all of your posts have been good to read and get some perspective on. I don't know much about any other Mustangs, don't really understand all of ya'lls shorthand abbreviations CTS, STS ....??? But it's fun to read anyway.

I am BULLITT all the way...don't think I would be looking at a Mustang otherwise. I like the other Mustangs, just don't get wrapped up in adding performance and such to my vehicles....just love the minimal, classic look in all things, especially this car.

I would actually love to know if FORD might be releasing an updated Bullitt for upcoming years as I would love to see the 1968 model nearly duplicated.....my dad had a 68 Mustang convertible that I used to play around in as a kid. He said it was a '68 but I am not so sure....I couldn't find any pictures of that car. I am skeptical they made that year in a convertible? It was white, I do remember that.

What can I expect on gas mileage? I have a short commute to work, half a mile, but I do wind up driving a lot otherwise; it would be my main/only car as I would have no second car.

As you can see by my username, I am a huge Steve McQueen fan. Own the movie on Blu Ray, seen it many times, have a lot of his movies....just love all that old school stuff. That era of the '50's to late '60s was my dad's late high school to college years and I came a couple years after that....I just dig on all his old stories about his old cars and how he used to be able to take apart the engine with his dad, how he put in a Hurst shifter in his '57 Bel Air and milled the....something or others to make it faster.

So, I want the car, actually think my pops would disagree with me on even thinking about getting this car...he's frugal and comes from a finance, banker background and just doesn't see these cars as 'practical' and I don't make a ton of money teaching school - although the used car lot this Bullitt is on swears they can get me in it for the same payments I have now-without crunching the accurate numbers of credit score-which is fine (not top tier though) and I have equity in my current 4cylinder Jeep Patriot (I know-huge jump in performance and gasoline-that's what I am worried about with gas prices these days.)

How about a CS with a Bullitt dash and Bullitt shift boot/bezel?

I like the CS, but there is nothing like that low growl of the Bullitt exhaust note and when you put your foot into it, those 3.73s get you going quickly. The only thing I would change on my bullitt [maybe] will be cams and heads to push that hp and tq up a bit .... It would be even sweeter at 330rwhp.
