Why don’t they put Reflex’s diesel hybrid in the Mustang’s current model instead. Some people in Ford just aint smart enough to read what the customers have in mind.

It’s steve mcqueen’s allright, but global warming makes this bullit like a bullshit. Give me 35 mpg mustang! then i still ride my x-trail.

It’s said that the Ford stylists went thru the film frame by frame to capture the subtle look of the original with todays materials. That’s why it has this look. This will be a big hit with the collectors and performance crowd.

I silver really in right now? The dash is SUPER UGLY. I definitely wouldn’t buy this car. And while the hood has a powerful look the way it curves down the rest of the Mustang looks very plain to me. There are other versions of the Mustang, especially the Shelby Mustang that looks tremendously better.

Looks unfinished.
the Bulitt its just not working on this model.
Looks cheap without the GT foglights.
Seems like the stylist were told to do another “Bulitt” version
and no one knew what to do.

Let’s see we’re closing in on 2008. the $30,000 mustang gimmic? Or the all new Mercedes C-Class with more torque, better brakes, safer chassis, better street cred, better reliability, Nurburgring track tested for $31,000. Hmmmm…. let me ponder just a bit.

sportmode — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 04:08:43 +0000

Shouldn’t be mocking ford for ANOTHER mustang gimmic??

Get this. 50 years ago ford’s largest marketing effort was to sell unique and creative versions of the mustang in addition to finding more and more fuel efficient pich-up trucks. It’s 2007….any question’s as to why some of us aren’t exactly “enthused” about ford products?? Do the math, then think about it.

They could have done a little better but I still like it.

yeah, why does the Mustang, especially in 2007 still have a 5spd? closer gear ratios?

Despite the fact there are too many mustang variant, I have to say this is the only one I would consider owning. Toned down, stealthy looks, and a much improved interior, for less $$ than the garish cobra = a win for me. Plus with the limited run, it may hold its value better. The only problem is that damned center console, GAH wanna scratch my eyes out.

I love the fact that it is devoid of badges other than that Bullitt. This allows the actual styling of the car to speak for itself. The whole package is well done making a great daily driver.

Wow. A cold air intake.

Car looks great, it really looks like the put a lot of time and effort into the design… so why not give it some extra heft under the hood? How about something a little more than a cold air intake, which any average moron can buy and install for $200 bucks? How about tweaking the engine so that it at least SOUNDS different from other mustangs?

These guys can add tires, suspension, plastic kits, interior upgrades,automatic butthole wiper and they still don’t get it—-”IT’S THE POWER STUPID”. 15 hp upgrade just don’t get it done.

Personally I’m not an Mustang fan, more of a GTO,Camaro,Vette guy but, seeing that they came out with this, and I figured it was only a matter of time before they did, I’m not that impressed. They should of at least added the fastback panels over the rear quarter windows, Then it’d look alot closer to the fastback that McQueen drove. However alot of Baby Boomers will probably buy this. And just like the Shelby GT350, GT500, and GT500KR’s including the Bullitt, these are instantly going to be collector cars. Probably the only reason if I had money to throw around why I’d buy this. But I don’t and I wouldn’t.

There just isn’t anything special about this Mustang. For the same amount of money there are much better and of course better quality sports cars for the money. This version of the mustang just shows how lame and desperate Ford is to get more sales. They think by adding a unique title to the car makes it a completely different car lol. 4.6 V8 producing less power than many V6 engines is pathetic and those “performance” brakes look like a joke. This is just another wortless marketing attempt by Ford and only a few fools will fork over their hard earned cash for a cheap car with a “special” badge and title.

Why most of you sound like you have a baseball bat up your buts. It’s just a car; you could at least try to enjoy it.

Momma always said “if you don’t have thing good to say, then don’t say anything.”

The Mustang is my favorite car, not because it’s the best, because I enjoy it the most. My dad and I have a personal connection with the car and we have been looking for old 60’something model to work on.

What’s life if you can’t enjoy it?

Ford sales are tanking, gas will be at $4/gallon in some locations very soon, and their response is “a new upper grille and badge removal.” Brilliant!

I personally think it looks great! Straight from Ford: 7,700 units to be produced this year only. Built in Flat Rock, Michigan. Hit lots early 2008. MSRP is $31,075.

This is a Mustang with $1500 of aftermarket work. And they will charge a good $10k over the regular Mustang for it, no doubt. Yay, Ford.

FUCK ALL OF THESE DAMN MUSTANGS.

Look, the current gen Mustang is a huge improvement over its predecessor, which I will openly say was a god awful vehicle. The Mustang GT is a good deal and a fun ride. HOWEVER, I am really starting to despise all of these limited edition Mustangs, be it in the form of the Shelby GT500, Shelby GT500KR, Shelby GT, Bullitt, a possible Mach 1, blahblahblah etc. They are milking this retro bullshit to within an inch of its life, churning out new variants of old school symbols left and right, and basically making the originals lose their cache.

I have a feeling that the price of this thing will far outweigh the few boltons Ford has thrown at it.

In terms of looking more like the original than the previous generation of the Bullitt, sure. In terms of looking much different or better than all the other current-generation mustangs, not so much.

Really? The company is failing miserably and the best you can do is release another tweaked version of the same car? I’m sure the people that wanted Mustangs already have one. I can’t imagine a Mustang buyer out there who was holding out for the Bullitt edition. This is just dumb. Pretty soon we’ll have the Johnny Depp 21 Jumpstreet edition, and the Gone in 60 Seconds edition and …..

jayjc08: I don’t believe anywhere in my post I claimed to be smarter than anyone, and yeah, I am calling other members stupid, because, surprise, other members ARE stupid. As to my immaturity, since you have no concept or idea of who I am, I don’t think you’re the best judge of that. Lastly, if someone is going to use derogatory, prejudiced slurs, then yeah, that’s stupid.

Children,
The Mustang and in this case the Bullitt Mustang is not supposed to be your Civic or your Mother’s Camry or even your wet-dreamed about Nissans. It is an Iconic vehicle – like it or not. It was racing the boulevards before most of you were thought of and long before any of your treasured -with two you get rice- car dishes were even a jap thought.
It has survived every fad and new guy on the block. It has created a whole aftermarket that cannot be rivaled and hundreds of companies that depend on it for their existance. It has race series named after it, clubs all over the world and more websites devoted to it than any other. It has been copied and honored and honored again.
It is admired even by those that would deny it. It created a whole new way of looking and thinking about the automobile. It has emerged and evolved and except for a blip in the 70s has never lost it’s way.
And boys- it won’t even blink because some of you don’t understand it.
