Ford doesn't build Mustangs to fly. That was true back in 1968 when Steve McQueen sent a GT 390 soaring over the hills of San Francisco in Bullitt. And it's true of the new 315-horsepower 2008 Mustang Bullitt.
We jumped it anyway. Not because we wanted to, but because we had to. It's a Mustang Bullitt, and that means it's gotta fly.

It's not just that. The suspension, exhaust interior and everything is different. The car has been beating the SGT at the Ford Racing track. The bullitt also has the GT500KR rearend with a stronger ring gear and larger, more reinforced axle tubes. There is a lot more to the car.

i work for a ford dealership in new york and we have a black bullitt here. yes a black bullitt. its number 6517 of 7700 built in the 2 years of the bullitt run from 2008-2009 model years. in 2008 5600 were built, in 2009 only 2100 were built. the numbers from 2008 into 2009 were kept consequential. so this was the 917th bullet built in 2009 out of 2100 2009 bullitt mustangs EVER built. possibly one of only 700 09's in black due to the fact that 2/3rds of them were done in highland green

Too Cool. Much better rendering than the 2001 Bullitt. I'm looking at getting a GT but am actually considering getting a Bullitt. Pricing has leveled off and there are a few just sitting on the lots in our area. Oh & BTW I'm not a lawyer and this would be my daily driver not a hanger queen as the previous poster (Cruentus1) suggested.

The '08 Bullitt represents a balanced car that serves fine duty as a daily driver too. It's obviously not a "bling" car, but that's what some people like about it. It's meant to be a driver's car, at home on the track or getting groceries. Well priced too for what you're getting. And it's a close to the 1968 car as your gonna get. I have an '01 Bullitt, but this one is closer to the movie car.

no offense taken. this is my first car, and i had a choice for around the same price. about a year ago, i was in love with the mustang and that was all i wanted. then i actually read up on the facts. it has a prehistoric suspension, the engine is massive and only produces 300 bhp, and reliability isnt so great. so when i had a choice, mustang or mazda, the choice was a no brainer for me.
@coolerdude44
@coolerdude44 16 жыл бұрын
dude the thing is that the mustang needed to improve. some of the problems were that its v8 was massive compared to the microscopic horse power produced. so what did ford do? they needed to increase the engine .4 liters just to get 15 horse power? keep in mind here, it is possible to get alot of power out of a relatively small engine without supercharging/turbocharging. look at ferrari. 4.3 liter v8 making 480 bhp

Youve got to admit your Mach 1 is COOL though. I never felt like Ford has done the bullitt justice. I always felt it should have a 5.4L NA DOHC engine. not the base motor with a Cold Air Intake. The 03-04 Mach 1s and 03-04 Cobras were the best models since the 60's. To Bad Ford Fired the teams that brought us the BEST mustangs.

I own #4329 2008 Bullitt. the only thing is, after only a month of owning the car, a rattling and grinding noise started to happen. I took it back to my dealer and apparently the "transmission and gearbox" weredeteriorating, and will take almost 3 weeks to fix. quite frankly im rather upset and frustrated over the wole situation. while the Bullitt was working, tho, i absolutely loved it! i only question the reliability and durability, cause it ha LESS than 1,000 miles on it. so sad Ford....

@rorinda Compared to what? Supercars? The 2010 Camaro SS goes 0-60 4.6-4.7 sec. This goes 5.0-5.1. Subaru Impreza WRX STI 0-60 in 4.8-4.9. Challenger R/T 0-60 5.2 seconds. I'd say it's pretty competitive. Depending on how good people are with manuals, I'd say that's a tight race.

p.s. you basically proved to me that drag racing takes no skill other than shifting, which granted can take some ability. but in a circuit race, they also have to worry about mis-shifts and the job is harder because they have to shift for corners. your uncle basically can win races because he has more upgrades than the other guy. but, when you upgrade the engine, you need to upgrade the suspension and the brakes to counter all that power. did he do that?

In States the price is somewhere $28-30k? I live in Finland and they don't bring Mustangs here. There are several things you have to change on that car: seat belts, windshield, turning signals... So that it would pass these EY specifications.. And believe or not, what will be the price in here for the regular GT? In America it's about $26k, here about 60-70k in euros, that is about $100k. Price for Bullitt version could well be something $110k in Finland.

Do you have sources noting the gt500 rear end with stoner ring gear and reinforced axle tubes?? I have looked and looked and not found anything like that on a list of mods. Ford backs that muscle with the Tremec five-speed manual transmission (no automatic will be offered) and the usual 8.8-inch rear end packed with a set of short 3.73:1 gears. (The GT runs a 3.55:1 set with the manual transmission.)
