"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 99 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."

its quick off the launch, can stop in 118ft from 60, and handles like a beemer !!

i didnt know the bullits were that fast..must be from all the suspension work =P

Yeah thats kind of crazy. (in a good way not the unbelievable way) I test drove a Bullitt the other day and am going to go check out a 01 cobra today. I'll tell you guys which one felt better and handled better from my experience. Im really stuck between the bullitt and this cobra, mostly because the bullitt is indeed very sexy and its black but I like the front end and the engine coming out of the 01. 4V baby. So yeah there is my rant.

I just dont understand what makes the bullit run a 13.59, while a stock gt runs 14.0 with a good driver. The intake it has is worth maybe 5 hp, so I just dont know.
