The feature PDF on the Bullitt site has changed and now shows 300HP at 6000rpm. However, I have a copy that I printed a bout a month ago that says 315HP at 6000rpm. Why the change what is the true HP rating?

Strange.

Interesting...
Maybe they had some EPA trouble?

Typical. Each manufacturer has to play the horsepower rating game. I mean gimmie a break. 15, 20 and even 30 horsepower is not going to make that much of a difference. But hey have to pump it up just a little to sell cars to those of us who may never dyno it to get the real number. I mean really different mufflers and a air filter adds about 20 horsepower but that is all. You would think chnaging the redline rev limit on the tachometer would really translate into a substantial horsepower increase. Give me 50 -75 and feel the difference! YEH!

Don't over react, the .pdf is likely what is wrong. Someone likely created it by editing the one for the GT and missed that part.

Speeding Bullitt

I would hope that it was just an editing mistake and that the Bullitt has the full 315 HP. Otherwise, since Ford modified the Bullitt to give it more HP than the standard GT, Ford would also have to change the standard GT HP figure to show that it is under 300 HP.
