ive been searching youtube for exhuast videos for sixers and every so often ill eventually stray into a bullit mustang with off road h pipe or flows ect ect so what exctly does bullits have under the hood? like v6? v8? what size ect ect

[01stangV6]

v8 duh lol it has a 4.6L mod motor that produces 5 more hp than the standard gt primarily becuase of a tuned exhaust. it also had stiffer suspension and shocks, thicker anti roll bars, reinforced subframe connectors, and bigger brakes ( brake calipers were painted red), and overall height was dropped by less than inch.... btw if you havent seen the movie bullitt then go rent it. best car chase ever!

It has a different intake manifold.

lol!! well im asking cuz i see more and more of em latly and wtf....why cnt they just call it a GT

It is a special edition GT, Read this. C&P Via Wiki.

In 2001, Ford offered a special version of its GT with the Bullitt nameplate. It was reminiscent of the 1968 390 fastback model driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 movie Bullitt which became famous for its high speed chase. The car was designed as a good handler so it was lowered 3/4 of an inch, received Tokico shocks, and short length sub-frame connectors. In addition, a new intake design, high-flow mufflers, and special underdrive pulleys helped increase the power to a conservative 265 hp (198 kW), though many owners report numbers closer to the 270-275 range. More telling is the torque curve, which was vastly improved over the base GT models, 90% of its 305 lb·ft (414 N·m) available from 2000 rpm. This broader torque curve makes itself known at the drag strip, as these special edition Mustangs could cover the 1/4 mile in 2-3 tenths of a second quicker and about 2 mph (3 km/h) faster than regular GT. 17 inch American Racing Torq-Thrust style rims, wrapped in 245/45ZR performance rubber by Goodyear, were reminiscent of those on the car driven by McQueen in the movie. The Bullitt featured a large hood scoop reminiscent of the earlier Boss 429 scoop, as well as new side scoops, lower body moldings and C-pillars with unique rear side window shape. Other special features on the Bullitt included aluminum pedals and shifter, gauge facings and seat upholstery patterned after the 1968 model, red brake calipers with the Mustang logo on them, and the removal of the spoiler and fog lamps regularly found on Mustang GTs, all for a cleaner look. Braking was also improved with the addition of dual-piston Brembo brakes with 13-inch (330 mm) rotors, the same brakes utilized by the Mustang Cobra.

The Bullitt Mustang was offered in only three colors: Dark Highland Green (the same shade of green used on the movie Mustang), Black, and True Blue. Total production was 5,582 units (3,041 Dark Highland Green, 1,819 Black, and 722 True Blue).

A 2008-2009 Bullitt[10] edition has been released as well. Exterior features include uniquely finished 18" Torq-Thrust style wheels and removal of the decklid spoiler and all badges except for the faux gas cap, which is replaced with a Bullitt-specific unit. Inside, there are Bullitt door sills, gauges, and steering wheel cap, an engine-turned aluminum dash panel, aluminum shift knob and pedals, and GT500-inspired front seats and GT500-inspired steering wheel with black stitching. The first factory Mustang open-element air filter, unique exhaust that mimics the sound of Steve McQueen's GT 390 Fastback and ends in 3.5" tips, and new engine programing raise horsepower to 315 (up from 300). A Tremec 5-speed manual and 3.73:1 ratio live rear axle drops 0-60 mph times to 4.9-5.0 seconds compared to the standard GT's 5.2-5.3, and quarter miles come in 13.8 seconds at 102 mph (164 km/h). Suspension is upgraded by a Bullitt-badged front tower brace and retuned suspension components that drop the ride height by 6 millimetres (0.24 in).[11] The Bullitt package is a $3,310 upgrade from the standard GT Premium.[12]

get you some new c-pillars, side scoops, wheels, and engine and your good to go

[01stangV6]

i would keep a bullit stock except for maybe a new exhaust, and a tuner. and why would you put a new engine in it?

i thought you were talking about making your car into a bullit lol..i fail

if i had a bullit i'd put in a 3 piece grill delete, mach splitter, and DD wheels on the back.

[01stangV6]

haha no im was saying if i had one thats all i would do was a tuner and exhaust. use it as a car show car or sunday driver. i have seen one bullit (2001) up close and it was in true blue. it was beautiful but the hood had MAGOR fading. looked like someone poured gas on the hood and lit it or poured paint thinner. what a shame...

[Mr. Red Pony]

I want a black bullit.

[01stangV6]

if i had to go it would be the original highland.

[Mr. Red Pony]

I love the green more, but... well idk. I would flip a coin...

[01stangV6]

higjland becuase its original to the original

I'm confused. Did you mean you like the 08 better than the 01(new edge)??

I feel the 2001 is one of the best looking new edge versions made by Ford.
The c scoop deletes, and nice smooth rockers and no rear wing make this car very, very clean.


Hell I'd give up my sixer for one. Well if I had the money.

[01stangV6]

no i like the 2001 over the 2008. i think the 99-04 stangs are the best looking mustangs besides the classice made.

[Mr. Red Pony]

If I had a Bullit I would put a 99 cobra front and a 2.5" cowl. Then 40th Anv. side scoops. What is if I had one...

[01stangV6]

had is the word though lol
