Quote:The only upgrade worth a dam was the 3.73's even with that the car was never a performer. Mid 13's in the 1/4 mile and don't think about running against a stock 03/04 cobra or a Mach 1 with halfway decent driver. This car doesn't have a market for this Gen mustang. The new PP mustang will make everything an option outside of the Voodoo motor which WONT make it to the Bullit and anything that Ford has left waiting will go to a Boss or Mach 1 of this generation. Bullits seemed like a great idea when I was younger and I almost bought one from a private seller years ago, but thankfully my best friend and long time mustang fan talked me out of it. He educated me on how [BAD WORD REMOVED] that 4.6 GT motor really was. So I bought a 99 Z28 and didn't worry about a GT until the 5.0 showed up.

 

I definitely prefer the new 5.0 to that 4.6 - hands down -  but I really enjoyed a test drive in that '09 Bullitt.  I'm not trying to compare it to other special edition 'stangs or boast any low 1/4 mile times. I'm just saying that for the Sunday driver crowd it's a nice Mustang with a bit of rarity that does a nice job of evoking the old McQueen flick. 

 

Of course - I'd much rather have that '68 GT-390 that McQueen drove the wheels off of in San Francisco!
