GT500 steering wheel:

Attachment 35212

 

i like mine better

 

Also interneting to note. They removed the GT badges from the front fenders on the 08. On the 01 Bullitt, they kept them on.

 

Wow!!!!! What a sweet looking car inside and out!! Well worth the wait!!!

 

notice the crosshairs...

 

It's exactly what I expected................................Plain Jane green GT........................BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

 

As a future Shelby GT owner, I think the 2008.5 Bullitt is a great deal. The package cost about the same as GT/CS package but you get performance equal to (or with the 3:73 gears, better than) a Shelby GT for $1000s less (hopefully no gas guzzler tax).

There will probably initially be some ADM, but hopefully it won't last long.

For the newbies on here that are shocked by the "negativity" in this thread...it happens everytime a new "SE" comes out. The GT/CS was slammed, the Shelby GT was slammed, and even the GT 500 (most people were really upset when they switched the hood from the concept one).

Just standard ops on TMS.

 

Great looking BULLITT! You did a great job on the exterior, better than Ford, and commend you on the fantastic job you did on the one of a kind hood.

The one set back is the tacky stick on interior trim pieces, a la Roush. They look cheap and out of place. No offense meant.

 

Sweet ridge, but I'd remove the wood from the door handles, headlight switch, and especially the air bag cover on the steering wheel (the pony tri bar looks better). Its just too much. I never understood why trim kits have to cover every detail of the interior. Just cover the dash and center stack. Everything else looks great, especially the GT500 bumper and grille.

 

Hey Bullittgreen. Nice car!! Did you paint the space between the tail lights or is that a type of sticker? Just wondering................

 

Im so in love with this car its not even funny i'm almost ready to trade in my car tomorrow morning.

 

Grill needs to be more open (NOT blocked off), but I think it is just fine.

I really like the finished look of the CAI - doesn't have that aftermarket look of the regular Ford Racing piece.

Cheers

 

Hey this guy just flew by me the backed in Pony.

I love it...only two things on order...Leather stiched dash cover and console...

My first car was a 1976 Trans Am so I dig the dash!!


Nice Job Ford!!!!!!

 

I'm excited, placing my order first thing thursday morning when the banks open!

 

 

Seems pretty clear from the bulk of the photos released (only one seems to have the IUP style...?), including some of those posted of real people in the cars, that the steering wheel has the GT500 style rim and spokes, but a Bullitt center piece.

All in all there's quite a lot of functional content for the price. Impressive package, IMO.

 

Where do all these mystery pictures keep appearing from? Ford only released a limited batch on the media site.

 

I can't get past Ford's decision to use that tacky '76 Firebird Trans Am dash treatment! WTF does that have to do with Bullitt, anyways? I mean, they could have skipped that, used the dark (or light) IUP, and put the money towards twin hood vents.

 

Well....................to each his own, but I like it!
