I' thinking ofa mustang... hold your fire ..I dig mustangs too.
I wanna know more about the BULLITT Mustang

I dont drive my car that often & when I do I miss the manual tranny....
That said I'm considering a hopped up Mustang GT ora Shelby GT or the new Bullitt ( not the GT500 although if money were no object that would be the choice but I'd rasther have another Z06 )

My sources indicate the Bullitt is a better off the rack bargain than the Shelby GT. Unless the dealers mark them up like crazy.....
mostSGT's are around $36 but the Bullittsuggested prices are $33
the two decent comparisons I've found are .2 secs diff 0-60 times
both are thirsty , neither offers a 6th gear & the bullitt has a lower rearend 3:73 opposed to 3:55 for the SGT
but the Bullitt will run on regular for daily driving....
If I got a SGT i'd be more inclined to pamper it as a collector but a hopped up GT or even Bullitt would /coild be more enjoyed in the real world on real streets
I was wondering ..what do you 'stang guys think about this new BULLITT????

well heres what I think.

The Bullitt has more heritage than the shelby GT, however the SGT will have more of a collectors value, and youwill probably make more money on a sale with the SGT over the bullitt. The SGT out performs the Bullitt, and kills it in the looks department if your into the bumpers, scoops etc. The bullitt handles better on the road over the SGT, and the bullitt has a much better sounding exhaust. The SGT will stand out in a crowd, and the bullitt will blend in until you punch the gas. The prices will probably be the same after dealer mark ups.

I'd go with the SGT over the bullitt.

07SGT

If your leaning more over to the Bullit, I would just get a standard GT and mod it, that green is pretty nice though.

I have owned one of each,Had an 07 Shelby GT 5 speed in Performance White,Awesome handling car!Pretty quick,Draws more attention than a naked chick in church!If you are going to buy a leftover 07,And can find one at 33K,Buy it!That being said,The Bullitt rides a little better,but obviously doesn't handle as well.But it can run on either 87 or 91 octane fuel which may be a concern if you drive it much,Has much nicer seats and steering wheel(Gt500 stuff).And is quicker in the quarter by about two or three tenths thanks to the 3:73 vs the 3:55 which is standard in the SGT.Now if you are going to buy an 08 Shelby GT,I'd go with the Bullitt,That's what I did and don't regret it at all!

I'd go for the shelby gt. I went up to my ford dealer and drove one a couple days ago and man they drive nice. A real head turner too. In my opinion ford did an absolutely awful job designing the looks of the bullitt. Way too boring, looks like an ugly v6. SGT FTW.

I would go with the 07 Shelby. You can get a Bullitt at sticker and a 0 shelby for 35-36. Not that big of a difference. In the long run the Shelby will hold more of it's value.

I recently drove a Bullitt and was pretty impressed, much better than my 06 GT. The 3.73 gears, stock cold air and mufflers tuned to sound similar to the old 390 is a great package.

Hum... The Bullitt Package for a $3000 price tag or the Shelby GT package for that same $3000 PLUS an additional $7500

Comparable power improvements
Comparable suspension improvements
Much better cold air intake on the Bullitt
Most of all MUCH better gears 3.73/1 in the Bullitt
Straight line or in the corners, The Bullitt will flat spank the Shelby GT!

Bunch of RICE looking scoops, stripes and cheap hood pins and redundant gauges glued to the dash on the SGT
Very clean, stealthy Bling and Rice free look and much better seats in the Bullitt

The Bullitt package
54B – Bullitt Package $2879/$3310
Bullitt Total $2879/$3310

The Shelby GT package
GT Upfitters Package $2140
Shelby GT Package $7390
Gas Guzzler Tax $1000 WTF is that?
Shelby GT Total $10530

This looks like a no brainer for me. Pay $7500 for the Shelby name and a bunch of less than tasteful bling, or pocket that $7500 and drive a very stealthy factory Mustang that will spank and stock Mustang GT or Mustang Shelby GT.

How’s that for an opinion?
