"the overachiever of the bunch is clearly the Bullitt"-5.0 magazine
this article compares 3 classics within the same price range.
Bullitt, Mach 1, and Cobra
they are not much different in 0-100 times which is surprising because the bullitt should have been killed. its not a dragstrip warrior, its suppose to be a sweet "show-off" ride that can back up its looks if it has to.
also, surprisingly, the bullitt has a quicker launch then the 99 cobra and tied to the mach 1 due to the fact that the 2v motor was specifically made to produce more low-end torque.
________0-30 Mph____0-60 Mph_____1/4- Mile
Cobra____ 2.109_____ 5.25_____ 13.62 @ 105.2
Bullitt____ 1.767_____ 5.15 _____13.59 @ 102.4
Mach 1___ 1.767_____ 4.70 _____13.19 @ 106.7
How's that for surprises? Who'd have thought a Cobra was slower than a Bullitt? And dig how the Mach 1 is more than a half second quicker to 60 mph than the Cobra--no wonder SVT put a blower on the '03 snake.
they also tested the 3 vehicles in the slalom:
"Of the three we tested, the Bullitt 'felt' the best...was the most confidence-inspiring. The front wasn't heavy, the rear wasn't heavy, the whole car felt poised and balanced. Also, is it lower or does it have a lower center of mass? It feels like it. It'd drift all four corners like a BMW. Saaaweet!"-5.0 magazine
in braking, the bullitt was the best of the three:
Once again the Bullitt outshone its more illustrious cousins. Stopping from 60 mph in just 118 feet and from 100 mph in 338 feet--that's two-and-half car lengths less than the Cobra--the Bullitt also earned nice praise from Chris. "This 118-foot stop from 60 mph backs up our previous 119-footer from Motor Trend's '01 Bullitt test, but the 338-foot [stop] from 100 is way better than a 361-foot stop a year ago. It took three stops before distance began to increase."
