Question about '08 Bullitt

Does anyone know when Ford's going to be unveiling the prototype? It would have to be at one of this years shows I would think.

There won't be a prototype unveiled. Just the production.

I'd guess it would be shown at one of the Mustang events this later summer. Even if it isn't, it should be on the road in less than a year.

Jerks! :mad: :cry:

ive seen it...that is all

LIAR.. i'll give you $1 if you can produce pictures in a week! ;) :D

Oh yeah, isn't that why you bought your '01 Bullitt? Because Ford stated they'd never offer a Bullitt package again?

well you all know what the old bullitt looked like and you all know what the new mustang looks like, put two and two together fellas...im not allowed to discuss it

I don't get the Bullitt thing it was just a car used in a movie and certainly not the top Mustang for '67. I mean did Ford even know that they were going to use that car in the move? I don't think the Stang in the movie even had posi?

Oh well why not work on the Boss, Mach 1, Cobra Jet or GT350 or something more meaningful to classic Mustangs instead of a movie car? I don't get it and with Fords sales maybe they don't either.

I like that Ford can create new special models. Why does every version of a Camaro, Mustang, or Corvette have to be a remake of a special model from the 60's? Does it really matter what Bullit was in the 60's?

It seems to me that they are going after a 60's Mustang or more accuratly a '67 fastback. My point is if Ford has built this retro looking Mustang and they are going to take a 60's Bullitt model before some of the other types it just doesn't make sense to me. I would put the Bullitt well below the Mach 1 or Boss now that Shelby has the GT500 out. I dunno thats just me. (maybe they don't have all the rights to the BOSS name) But all of these types became famous in the 60's and Ford has a 60's looking Mustang... Let loose!

I see your point too and I'd be all for a new type Mustang with something that we've never seen before.

I liked the last Bullitt alot. Right now though, I'm looking forward to the GT-350.

Nah, that's not why I bought it. I happened to work for them at the time. I saw it and had to have it, and the deal was pretty compelling, so I figured why not.

It's been kinda neat owning a special edition car (that's actually in many real ways special - not a tape and stripe job) that isn't flashy or particularly expensive. Most people don't understand them or what's really different.

But Ford did say they weren't making any more, basically, if not specifically. And they'll probably put a decent engine in it this time (The cobra was NA in 2001, so no 4V love from FOMOCO). That, and now I have a baby and a mortgage, so I won't be out for a new one. :mad:

IMHO, I still think it's the best looking mustang made since 1970. I put my deep dish wheels on it and it looks badass, even if it's slow by 2007 standards. It'd be nice to actually drive it once in awhile. I just hit 27,000 miles, I think.

Bullitt is easy to do and well recieved. Just raid the GT500 parts bin for some brakes, give the same engine calibration, cold air and exhaust from the Shelby GT, throw in a 3.55 gear, spoiler delete, maybe some painted 18" bullets, tune the suspension (or just nab some more parts from the FRPP bin) paint it green, blue, or black, slap on some Bullitt stickers and puff... let the magic happen

This is NOT how to do a Bullitt Mustang.

Lesse, didn't the original use Cobra brakes with sexy red calipers, had a recalibrated suspension, 2v 4.6 with Aluminum intake, were painted green, blue or black, didn't come with a hood scoop or wing, had different quarter window trim, 17" bullit wheels, had some chassis stiffening in the form of boxed frame rails (or sub-frame connectors if you prefer), exhaust tips and some interior trim bits and pieces. I'm not sure about any engine recalibration to run on premium fuel though????

Back then that was a pretty good departure from the standard GT, however the new car is 100% stiffer than the chassis it replaced, so I don't see why the current car would need to be braced. If Cobra brakes were good enough for the original, then why not use the Shelby brakes with sexy red calipers today? You can't significantly alter the body in the quarter window area (other than put some louvers there and create a heck of blind spot), the current car has no scoop you can delete (unless you get the retarded appearence package with the neat engine cover), you can delete the wing though (that leaves only the front and rear fascia to mess with - which may be different in the rear of the current bullitt - I can remeber). Part of what makes a Bullitt a Bullitt are the Torq Thrust style wheels. Ford uses a variation of this wheel as the standard 17" GT wheel and you can get either the 18" fanblades or polished 18" Bullitts for the GT. Chassis calibration could be unique, then again they put some pretty good development time into the FRPP packages (Multimatic did the strut/shocks for FRPP which came out of the FR500C program and that had a great deal of developlment work behind it) You could do a run of special aluminum intakes, but like the LSx engines, this current intake seems pretty good on the 3v engines (although you could swap the throttle body off of a V10 on to the V8 for giggles), the premium fuel calibration and cold air add 20hp, I dont see Ford putting 3.73's or 4.10's in any time soon, so that leaves the 3.27(if thats the current rear end) or the now optional 3.55 rear.

I'm just saying the parts are there and its easy to raid the parts bins to get the stuff to make a Bullitt (unique intake manifold aside) - especially in light of the much improved chassis

In 2008 I'd like to see the n/a Mustang finally be able to outrun a 98 LS1, so hopefully they do a lot more for the Bullitt than pull the spoiler off a Shelby GT and paint it green.

A 5.4 would do nicely, well except for the added weight of the iron block, but by 2008 you could have an all aluminum 5.4, they've built them before (although they were a bit pricey and were for Ford GT duty)

The car needs to be more than a "parts bin" car. The last one used only a few of these parts, and when it did, they were modified. There are also so many other "little" things that were done, like clear coating the engine compartment, which was not done on anything else but some cobras. When I first read this, I saw GT500 engine, I thought you meant including the supercharger. That's not the right direction. It shouldn't be too heavy. More than anything, it needs work on the suspension.

But please, don't make it a "parts bin car with some stickers".
