They're a decent deal if they're what you're looking for. That 31,500 price should be compared to a mostly loaded GT Premium (minus nav and shaker 1k of course), because they have the same factory options (IUP, etc).

Keep in mind the Bullitt comes with 18" wheels (which you currently can't buy seperately) that would cost $1,000 as an option on any GT. That steering wheel is currently a $250-$400 aftermarket part. The gears are stronger than a regular GT. And I wish I could have specced those seats on my GT.

In my book, the only killer on the Bullitt is that the average buyer won't get the discount off MSRP that I got on my GT. That's the true cost of the Bullitt's exclusivity.

There are people getting deals though... look around. That said the dealer near me has one with a $10k ADM. Course it's parked next to an SGT 'vert with an equal ADM. I keep telling the sales manager he's got a nice car collection he may be able to recoup his losses on 15-20 years from now.

Yea man, thats what I'm saying. It's 1500 more than mine, and your getting some nice upgrades.

[RC02GT]

I think the brakes are 12.4" front, 11.7" rear, not sure what your guys GT's are. FRPP CAI, Strut brace with each vehicle number printed on it which I thinks really cool, nice suspension, and nice exhaust sound, also advanced spark system to run premium or regular gas, higher rpm redline. I think if you could get it fro 31,500 its a fair price, but the one near me has a bullsh*t markup of 8k, so its close to 40k, not worth that IMO. If noone knows what it is, it kinda looks like a 6er trying to be an 8. (no wing, no fog lights, no GT badges)

[fosted285]

All I know is I'd sure like to see one of these at a dealer, on the streets... anywhere.. doesn't matter. If what I am hearing about the ADM is in fact happening, then it seems only those with money to burn will end up buying these as well. Sad.

[stanglifemike]

Defiantely not worth the markup. I assume like all the others, it will drop off shortly after a few are sold, then a few sit there for TO LONG.

[RC02GT]

yea not worth the markup at all, 31k isnt to bad, as long as the 7,700 arent sold out. which i think 700 are being shipped to and sold in canada.

That's it!! I couldn't put my finger on it.

[stanglifemike]

If they think its a v6 trying to look like a v8, they will be in for quite a surprise!!

Nah! getting beat by a car that's gorgeous stings a little more than getting beat by plain jane. Bullit = plain jane, and not to be confused with stealthy, just plain.

lol, true. It's hard to ignore the sound that V8 makes even at idle. But in the winter I'm sure most people who are vaguely familiar with S197s look for scoops and wings. But considering the amount of V6s I see around me with wings... I'm sure it's getting almost impossible for people not familiar with Mustangs to know what to expect from one to another.

This is of course what I like about the ninja V8s without scoops and wings, hehe.

Of course the easiest identifyier I always look for are the twin tailpipes.

Of course that equality depends mightily upon one's definition of gorgeous. Science is still out on such definitions. Personally I think the Bullitt's equally as gorgeous as the GT500KR. Just in a different way.

Y'know, old argument about blondes vs. redheads vs. brunettes....



Oh, and the brake rotors are the same as the GTs, at least in terms of size. Not sure if the actual rotors are the same (drilled or plain, I forgot to check when I dropped my car off for service last night). But the pads are upgraded. They have some new fangled pads on the front and use the pads from the GT500 for the rear. I suppose that means the pads on the front are better than the GT500 pads?

The Bullitt also has the spare wheel delete, replaced with the emergency tire repair kit for weight savings.

There are literally a bunch of things they put on the Bullitt, and I think it's an awesome car that really nails the design philosphy they were aiming for with the original S197 in '05 before the marketing kids got to it. Personally I wish the regular GT came exactly like the Bullitt without all the exclusivity bullcrud. Leave the wigns and scoopers as factory options I suppose. Sigh.

I'd go for that. If you also added color options. I would have to do something with front.

[DanTheMan]

I saw one back in december at freedom ford in the service entrance bay thing while gettin my oil changed.. looks pretty badass but I'm not a fan of the S197s

i thought the calipers were different as well, maybe they are just painted. You can get the new bullitt in black too right, black is the only color option i need.

I agree its what the gt should be, for the gt price

[RC02GT]

The calipers are painted dark grey to match the wheels and car colors available in green or black, I posted bad quality pics of the black one at a car show pg 1. I think id have to add a cowl hood to beef the front up a little.

+1 on aftermarket hood, but make it a heat extractor? Heh, maybe there's such a thing as being too faithful?

[RC02GT]

A cowl would keep it smooth and clean looking, which is the looks of the bullitt, no flashy spoilers and scoops badges and lights everywhere.

Oh totally, I was just referring to the original '68 Mustang GT-390(-ish) from the movie.
