Naw, I just believe in plain talk. If you can't handle it because you're creaming your pants just at the thought of this car, that's your business.

Go back and re-read my posts. I said the only way this package could be that little is if the car were a major disappointment. And judging from some of the other comments around here, I'm not alone in my assessment that it is a major disappointment.

I'm trashing it because IMHO (and let me emphasize, that's my OPINION) it deserves to be trashed. Ford could have done this car right. Instead, it's a badge and sticker job with a few FRPP parts tacked on. Lowered by 6mm? Are you frakkin' kidding me?!?!

And may it fulfill your every fantasy!

 

I like it better than I thought I would. I would opt for a Bullitt over a CS/GT and Shelby GT, but I like the 'Plain Jane' exterior. A little lower and some wider meats would be on order as a start if I were to purchase one. Not too bad at all . . . . .

 

 

i heard 9mm's were pretty cool

that said i will buy this car! maybe not new but i will one day! i mean sure its not a camaro killer but geezz ford is in a crisis right now they reall need to focus on making money and sadly a special edition mustang above 30 grand isnt the way to make money. they probably had a SUPER limited budget and sometihng they probably could've squeezed in like painted calipers but a 5.4? i mean thats just my opinion

 

They didn't even do anything to the seats, like back in '01.

 

Where did that come from? The pics on the first page show the IUP wheel.

 

Actually, the calipers *are* painted, just not bright red. They are painted a metallic gray, which looks pretty good.

 

Yeah I just saw that too. That could be pretty cool if Ford will sell the steering wheel seperately like they do the GT500. The GT500 wheel has red stitching, this one appears to have black stitching which will match any interior - could be a very neat upgrade for those that want it!

 

Hollywood- I just can't understand why you're ragging on this car so bad. We've know for weeks how it was going to be equipped and basically what it was going to look like.
At under $2000 for the option that is a hell of a good deal. You couldn't add all that to a Mustang GT for that price!

You may not like the car and that is fine- but the value, WITHOUT QUESTION, is outstanding.

 

I like the additional bolstering on the seats.

What are your thoughts on how you can use any fuel octane? I never heard of that in the planning. Also, higher redline, that sound nice.

 

Ultimately, it doesn't matter two hoots what I think. If you like it, and want to get one, then you should...and I'm sure you will enjoy it. Certainly the DHG is nice.

I am annoyed, I suppose, because I was waiting for this car for two years, and then, as the news began to trickle out about what this car would actually offer, my hopes slowly sank - and I went with a GT, presuming (correctly, as it turns out) that the Bullitt would be a disappointment. I guess I was hoping for a last minute hat trick on Ford's part. Didn't happen, sadly.

And yes, for the money, the performance upgrades are a good buy. But I can't get past the overall aesthetic packaging. Someone else said it looks like a V6 with a few trim bits and a V8 engine added, and that's exactly how I see it, too. I don't mind understated. But this is just plain boring.

I could have lived with the meager performance upgrades if they had gotten the cosmetic package right. IMO, they didn't.

Everyone make sure you don't buy this one.

 

everytime I see that tiny little opening in the grille I want to punch out the designer

 

That dash looks like ***. And not even the good kind of ***.

It very much needs the double vented hood and a nicer looking grille, at the LEAST.

I can live with the meager hp increase, the gears and mild suspension dealies are nice, but the car is very underhwhelming. If it really did sell for only $2K more than a GT, it would be "ok", but you all know no one is going to actually end up paying that little, at least not right away.

 

The seats are 100 % gt500 fronts ......without the embossed headrest.

 

 

The dash looks nice as well as the new style seats and shifter, but everything else is just "alright".

 

Buyfordracing.com has a listing for a GT500 wheel without red stitching.

Possibly the first Bullitt part on the market?

 

Well one thing about being in Canada- we don't pay ADM's, it really doesn't happen here. NOW if we can only get the pricing to reflect the higher value of our Canadian dollar.
