Its a Bullitt you dont modify it , you keep it stock , you modify it then its just another mustang gt and you kill its collectabilty..Mine is #2285 with 3900 miles , I love it!!

[@UK2DMC]

agree 100% Mine is #0425

[@Eidrian111]

I know that this is a old as comment but what on Earth are you on about? It’s just another shitty slow ass 4.6 Mustang that’s just green. I mean I like it but it’s nothing special.

[@bigpermholla]

@@Eidrian111 not special to you but it is to me and to alot of mustang fans , and do some homework its alot more then just another 4.6 thats green , its dark highland green get it right lol

[@Eidrian111]

@@bigpermholla ooff ok it’s a special 3 valve with an air intake And a noisy muffler. Geeez that’s exotic material. Happy now?

Rumor is 2018 Bullitt for 50th Anniversary. Not sure if new design will conform though.

[@ITRIEDEL]

:)

[@zachg9065]

Best Looking version of the 05 - 09 generation Mustang.

[@RLtW88]

Bought mine, and I'm only a PV2 in the Army (used my bonus). Being stationed in SW Texas, my parents had to drive it down from Chicago as I bought it on my leave after AIT graduation. My dad, after long owning foreign sports cars (including a 996 Carrera 4 and a Ferrari 360 Spyder), absolutely loves my car.

[@Crackersandwich]

The Bullitt is GREAT! Well balanced and understated. It is the best Mustang to be built since the Boss 302.

[@Wardo39]

I got myself a 2008 Bullitt, drives really nice

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

Absolutely adore this... hope there's another on the horizon.

[@ITRIEDEL]

Had a 2008 #4113 Loved it and miss it. Part of me wants a 2001 - and may do it if I can get more garage space.

[@Bret928]

Since my last comment three weeks ago I ended up buying my Bullitt (#2978) and love it! In the couple of weeks I've owned in I've alreay clocked about 3500 miles & I haven't had any problems. I did take it back to the dealership remove their sales security system that was hanging under the drivers dash. God I love this car!

[@illinisb]

GT < bullit < shelby gt < gt500 my question...are the mods on the bullit the same as the shelby gts??

[@sultan..9611]

الو

[@vorgon303]

LEAN and MEAN!! Just the way I like it. All go and no show! Still should have put in a 5.4litre though. Thank you ford for finally getting it right.

[@marko3296]

its the only american car i like.still looks like the original, very retro, love it!!!

[@ford927]

that stang is flippen sweet man. i heard those stangs have a top speed of over 150mph.

[@AUSly09]

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.

[@illinisb]

care to elaborate why you think that bullit>shelby gt?? a 3.73 alxe ratio really that big of deal compared to a 3.55?? or is it the slightly smaller sticker price?? im not tryin to argue, but does the axle ratio and adaptive spark igition system really make a huge difference?? id say no.

[@mitch9521]

man id kill to have this or the 01 or the 68 they're all beautiful cars!

[@Junkyard-Restorations]

i never said 500 repurchased was a lot, but ford repurchased 0 7.3 powerstrokes and normally the owners got their blown up 6.0's replaced not getting their whole truck rebought.

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

It looks lovely still after all these years :D

[@sultan..9611]

[@LeaveItToBeaner]

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

[@edersiomoran]

@IamAtree000001 Special Edition Mustang, because the 1968 version didnt. And this throwback is designed to mimmick the characteristics. If you notice, the front grill doesnt have the striding horse emblem. Little things like that designed to make it like the one in the movie.

[@Bret928]

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.

[@VanCityGuy1]

I just bought a 2009 with a pony package, this makes the front look better.

[@illinisb]

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.)

[@FELIPELORA05]

damn your brother is living the dream . I have a honda prelude and its tuned up but I always loved the mustangs .

[@djkaseone]

Why do you think a live axle is ancient. Yes its simple but its not a bad design. Its actually more effective on the track albeit a little harsher on the street

[@JCouture70]

my dad bought one and he let me drive it :) best thing about the car is the sound it makes its awsome.

[@SaigonTheDon]

@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.

[@FlamingSidepipes]

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.

[@N-Scale]

I simply LOVE "Lisa" , my 2008 #1925

[@Skidracer21]

@babroncos11 Well anyway, that's not my point. what I'm asking is that if it is really necessary for the ZR1 to be blown when you already have the 6.2L muscle car engine in it?

[@StickCk22]

the bullitt comes in the highland green as well as black. i think the green looks better, but if you want a different color, black is an option.

[@goesfastandfar]

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.

[@TheUncommonKIBBLES]

"Total engine units shipped reached 432,800 in 2004, 9% higher than the 396,000 units shipped in 2003. The company's shipments of engines to OEMs totaled 357,900 units in 2004, an increase of 8% from the 332,400 units shipped in 2003." and you're trying to tell me 500 trucks repurchased is a lot?.......

[@MontrealMan1970]

I couldnt care less for nostalgia, the car looks great in its understated trim.

[@macmurati]

that car is just so damn beautiful, i wish i could somehow have one

[@Skidracer21]

And yet the ZR1 relies on a Supercharger to get its ridiculous level of horsepower. isn't the 5.7 Liter enough? does it *really* have to be blown, too?

[@Nick1944]

Hey guys i'm kinda torn between an 03-04 Mach 1 and an 08 Bullitt. My budget is around 20K, what do you guys think??

[@mrmustangguy]

imo the 99-04 was the best style and the 2012-current are by far the best bang for the buck and the 2013 just look sick with the new front and rear end styling

[@4doorm3]

clutch less shift. do you mean no lift shift?

[@moisespjr]

how is a small factory spoiler rice? Also mustangs have had spoilers since 69

[@YllwFvrPB]

the voice of experience leaves me standing corrected. I still want him to take me for a ride. He told me he would baby it cuz he loves it so much. Two days later he calls me. Dude I just went 140mph and whooped an srt4!!! LOL.

[@abbirina]

I just traded my 06 gt for an 08 bullitt.... I LOVE IT!!!! It's sick!! later baby, abbie

[@hayksamvelyan]

by tuning the suspension, did they get rid of the rear leaf springs?

[@hyssean12]

Lol leaf springs

[@thedefinitive6296]

i'll take the slightly redesigned 2010 mustang. it's going to have the same performance enhancements as this bullit as stock on the GT anyways. plus it looks leaner, tighter, and meaner although i'm still a bit iffy on the new looks. i'm not completely sold. i guess i'm sold enough though lol

[@fraghetti]

i frickin love muscle cars like the. dodge, 300c, or mustangs and so on, i love em all

[@trompeteria]

hello, i´m from spain. i´ve got a ford puma. someone knows where i can buy mustang´s emblem as the ford puma of the beginning of the video.say me a web please.thanks

[@FrostedCold]

Love the sound from those pipes! V8s just don't sound as good as they used to these days.

[@nsspartan77]

@BowDownBowfishing built ford tough is an understatement, every ford i've owned i've beat the living crap out of and they keep coming back for more, including current and previous mustangs

[@NissanTy]

this new bullit is slick, i like the 01 model but this one is more origonal. slap on some long tube headers and some nice cams and it would be that much better! not sure if i would want this or the new 370z hmm maybe both?

[@guessroom]

how much is this car.... I would like to get it thax

[@flyjake]

is it clutch-less shift?

[@zoddie]

i have a 06 GT, but this here is one of my dream cars ahah..one day!

[@Junkyard-Restorations]

" the early 6.0 L PowerStroke engines experienced problems,[2] and it is speculated to have cost Ford millions of dollars in warranty repairs and buy backs. They led to many recalls and the repurchase of at least 500 trucks, particularly in the first year." - wikipedia

[@IamAtree000001]

why dosent it have fog lights?

[@SaigonTheDon]

@rorinda what do you drive?

[@towncar16]

why did they make only 7000 ?? that should just be a package you can order

[@nokia3591]

So this bullitt mustang got to 60 in 5.1 secs but when they went against the challenger it was 5.4 secs.They need the same driver to do the mustang Kr's time over cuz it can do way better than 4.9 secs.

[@gdulaudi]

what year is your alfa romeo?

[@coolerdude44]

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

[@coolerdude44]

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.

[@heartboy86]

@Apoth3cary it depends on how you take care of your car, i have a 90 lesabre and runs just find,no major damage, all i had to replace is an alternator

[@KevinEdgar]

That thing just sticks to the road!

[@edersiomoran]

@tctcintegra93 SRT4 Is supposed to be faster I believe. The Rousch Mustang was made as a track car. Totally modified suspensions. So yeah, they are supposed to beat it.

[@mshl8188]

sort of, but not completely, lol, the new alloys take you back to the old mustang, kinds gives you the classic look, isnt it?

[@coolerdude44]

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?

[@slimbothetiger]

yeah there cool. i wouldn't mind 1, but i plan on getting the 05 after the 2010 comes out. cause they will be cheaper.

[@Kooly1]

I've found them to be the best vehicles.

[@steveclark625]

@DK81344 Yes they sell The Exhaust check Ford racing m-5230-S part is the same cost like 600 bucks :)

[@BulletBlazerSS]

GT 390?

[@djkaseone]

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.

[@Napster60]

being an owner of this car i am happy to say anyone that drives it wont say it sucks. it is so fun to drive and before u shun and blow shit out your mouth DRIVE IT OR SHUT UP.

[@StickCk22]

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....

[@dawchiks]

"buying one wont make you Steve McQueen." Damnit! All my dreams are ruined!!!! :D

[@coolerdude44]

no, i see your point, im just saying that for $30,000, which i consider a lot of money for a car, i would want some technology. taking an enormous engine and then having it only develop 300 bhp isnt really something i would want because a large engine like that still gobbles up fuel. i cant wait to see fords ecoboost, i think that would be a great idea.

[@Motorsportsgeek]

well the 08 looks good but seems like it need to be lower and it dosen't look as good without the spoiler unlike the 01 , but thts just ,me

[@IiI_Gogeta_IiI]

i know were you can get a bullitt in canada

[@guinmaan]

Like they did when they brought out your 03 Mach 1? Kinda stupid post - think about it!

[@peetiewonder]

i wish this had been out when i had gotten my gt

[@rider56AK907]

same here. liked them when they first came out but now compared to the 2010-13 stangs they dont stand up.

What does?

ITS A BEAST

[@tommyjakks]

perchè consumare in questo modo i pneumatici

@poskyflyer no, the sti beat a shelby gt in a drag race, and whooped it in like 54/56 tests by edmonds or something like that

[@FELIPELORA05]

yeah the 2010 has a way better interior then the 05 . I loved it more when I saw in person . At the L.A auto show they had the v6 model and the gt model . The v6 model has a better front bumper . I was not into the front diffuser spoiler .

I'm gonna get myself the 2010 Mustang!

this car born to do that amazing real car!!!!!

[@anythingacoustic1]

awesome car, i woulda preffered having a spoiler in my opinion it wouldve looked better

[@wheeler8801]

Don't get me wrong, the new bullit mustang is pretty great, as it is with all new mustangs for the past 45 years, but I would much rather have a 68' Bullit mustang

[@axkingz]

dude... just because u dont like mustang dont mean they are bad cars... they will smoke hondas... but one the other hand hondas are made to get good mpg

[@Swidhelm]

@dilawer321 Because many euro and japanese cars will out handle most american cars. But I agree with you. I'm aiming at getting a stang in the next couple of years, once my focus is paid off.
