I'm new to this forum. My first post. I am interested in the Bullitt. Is there one here in Houston that I can go look at, and can I test drive it? If not, where can I go do this?

I hope this isn't sacrilege, but is the rear of the car amenable to having a hitch. I would like one installed with a cannon plug also so that I can tow my motorcycle trailer.

Thanks,

Mike

 

Steve McQueen is going to kick your azz. Sorry, I can't help find one in Houston, but good luck.

 

Mike,

Freeway Ford in Houston has one (for stock) that will be here next week. I'm not sure that they'd let you test drive it, but you can definitely check it out.

 

Mike,

dont you guys get a free truck to tow stuff just for LIVING in Texas?

btw...welcome to the board!


Mike

 

I have seen Mustang's with hitches for various things.
The ultimate Stang trailer, it is made to tow behind a bike. But what the heck.

Thanks guyz.

These are some pretty finny responses

ImEvil1, I will call Freeway Ford. Is there anwhere in the country where I can test drive one? I'm willing to fly to a location.

Oh, and on the Steve McQueen quip. He would have probably liked a trailer hitch on his, that way he could tow his motorcycles too!

How far's San Antonio from Houston?

 

I called Freeway Ford in Houston and Jordan Ford in San Antonio. No cars!

Both have indicated they will be getting them very soon. I will just have to hold my horses.

Thanks guyz!

Mike

 

I woud make sure that one of those guys will call you when they come in. These cars do not stay long on the lots...

 

They have agreed to do so, but thanks for tip anyways

Mike

 

1. Where can I find out about options?
2. Are people really ordering this thing with an automatic transmission? Isn't that like sacrilege?
3. Why hasn't Shelby been given an option to beef up the engine for us?

Thanks,

Mike

 

Options can be found on the ford vehicles site for the most part. The bullitt package should list everything it comes with and automatically kick out the options not available. The shaker 500 is std. since it is a prem. GT

It's only available as a manual.

How do u want to "beef" the engine up?

 

I'd like to buy the CAI from the bullit for my car....looks to isolate the filter from the engine much better than the C&L and others. Also wouldn't mind the springs/shocks...6mm lower, and just a little stiffer on both counts.

 

Mike, not a whole host of options to be had:
1.NAV system
2.Shaker 1000 stereo
3.HID headlamps
4.Ambient lighting
5.Active Anti-Theft system
6.Sirius Sat. Radio
7.Wheel locking Kit
I think that's about it for options. And NO automatic, thankfully! And if Shelby were to even touch your car, you'd definitely feel it in your pocketbook!

 

Yeah, keep Shelby out of it. He's caused Mustang owners enough headaches.

 

Hit up the Ford Vehicle Build Your Own configurator and select Dark Highland Green as the color - it'll add the Bullitt pack and show what options you can and can't put on the car.

But as others above me have pointed out - there ain't much you can put on - but the Bullitt pack does add a lot of things.

 

Okay thanks again guys.

What's with the anti-Shelby stuff? I know he adds cost to the car, but other than that have things proven unreliable?

Nav system, is that one of those GPS things? Aren't those kinda for girly-men or for the types who actually stop to ask for directions?

Mike

 

I used to think that too, but my brother's inlaws bought him one of those handheld Garmins... and boy is that thing obnoxious! It's like having a computer as a backseat driver. "Turn here! You missed the turn. Rerouting. Turn up ahead. You're going too fast. Use your turn signal." Well, maybe not that bad....

If you ever use Googlemaps or Mapquest for directions, it's pretty much just like that with a voice.

On the other hand that technology is scary... they put in all sorts of things you may want to stop at. I was up in Grand Rapids when we tried the device out and in 15 seconds it told us there was a coffee shop three blocks away we would never have found.

 

Well I just hope they don't have any fancy spy stuff in the back seat as my wife wants to help me break-in the car as soon as I get it! Kinda like back in high school

 

Ha! No, I think there'd be plenty of people up in arms if they did that! lol
