From StangNet:




The 2008 Bullitt Mustang, which was confirmed in Ford’s “Way Forward”, will be the best interpretation of the 1968 390 GT driven by Steve McQueen in the movie Bullitt. The Bullitt will likely receive a plain grille without a galloping pony badge or spotlights, a black painted panel between the taillights and of course the car will be available in Highland Green. Power output is speculated at around 310 horsepower and will include a lowered suspension.

The date production is to begin is speculated to be early December 2007.

Oh man, all the performance add ons!!
RED Calipers!
BRIGHT exhaust tips!
V6 Grill design!!!
FAKE BULLIT GAS DOOR!!
RUNIQUE SILL PLATES!! OHHH MAN, WHEN CAN I PLACE THE ORDER!!

I hope it does not have louvers on the rear windows. Otherwise it is pretty cool, except for the last gen Bullitt owners who were told they would be the last to get Highland green.

Yet another dolled up Mustang GT with no real content. Most everything in that list could be found in a RK Sport product brochure....



The last however many "packages" I have seen from Ford are at best nothing more than a dolled up Mustang GT that Ford is way over charging for. i.e. Shelby GT. When will Ford offer a Mustang with some real content that fits in between the GT and Cobra? Such as the previous generation Mach 1?

312HP?

Pffft....

They'll all be sold out before they even hit the lot.

Maybe that's what the Mach1 will do when it does come out. I'm sure something like it is in the plans.

The previous gen Bullitt wasn't really anything more than an appearance package.

That'll really give those 6.1 Challengers something to worry about...

Now that is a sharp looking car. Too bad the performance isn't up to snuff. I can't wait to see one of these that looks stock but is modded to high hell.

It did have a few more enhancements that weren't just appearance. The shocks were revalved, throttle body enlarged, aluminum intake manifold added, and the mufflers were a little more aggressive. But other than that it was an appearance package.

Ooops, double post.

That's what's lost in all the bashing.

A bit unique, but the price for what you get wouldn't personally be my cup o' tea. Especially with a plain grill. The Mustang's grill is so expansive it looks terrible in plain V6 trim without anything to break it up.

Dumbfounded or not, they will sell.

Not to me, but to plenty of others.

I get it. If I was going to buy a GT to start modding, I'd seriously consider this one just on looks. But IMO what they really need is a car between the GT and the Shelby -- a 400 hp $32k car that isn't some super-limited edition, but is widely available. Where is it?

Like a BOSS/MACh1 permanently in the line...
not just a S/E
