What the bullitt has is the frpp power package. CAI, 91+ tune, gta axle backs. He is giving the technical jargon that some magazine guy spouted off. If you look at frpps site and check out the power package for 08 gts thats what the bullitt has. It is the same as the shelby gt except the shelby has the x pipe as well.

I dont know. i thought i read that it was 3.55s but if it is 3.73s that is pretty cool.

this is from fords website. It does have 3.73s and you can get it black which would be my choice. If i were in the market for a new gt i would jump on this car.
