RE: whats the difference? GT VS Bullitt
I recently bought a bullitt (thinking it was 100% stock), however, I found out that someone made some nice 'starter' mods to it: including: H-pipe, headers (definitely sounds nice), K/N filter, and probably some other things that I'm not aware of yet. btw, I bet it could be .5 seconds faster 0-60 than regular GT. The 5 hp isn't the only thing you need to consider. The other mods are there for a reason...

RE: whats the difference? GT VS Bullitt
btw, anyone have suggestions on 'suping' it up further? I also heard that because it has the aluminum intake, it holds much better with NoS if you decide to use it (which, I doubt I ever will). Just looking for ideas to give my ride more 'boost'.

DHG 2692 here and i have driven a Stock 2001 Conv Cobra with Short Shifter and CAI, a 2001 Hardtop Cobra with short shift, clutch, steeda shocks, flowmasters and CAI .. and been in a Mach 1 .. my opinion about the mach and bullitt are that they are designed for the driver and for the driver to feel the most happy and most comfortable about driving there car. they were baby projects of ford expecially the Bullitt imo. the bullitt is the best feeling, and most fun, i have a centerforce clutch magnaflow catback and some short shift my friend with the hardtop cobra gave me, still stock shift handle, bullitt badging on side and the 281ci SOHC badge instead of GT(although im going to change it back) and it is just soo ballsy. i do believe the car makes you feel like your driving a bit faster and harder than you are, while still in control, its very fun to take my car out and open it up with the radar det on .. plan on gettin radar jamming system that works parrallel with my escort s2. im going to change the part of my intake where the air filter is to a cai that goes into the fender, want to get headers, but beside that still figuring out what i want to do with it.. but im goign to put a front strutbar on and get drilled/slotted rotors, im gonna keep the calipers though, and im going to tint the sides to 30 but keep back stock, so if cop behind me wont think im hot with tints... ya know? oh yea, btw opinions on putting a Shaker and the Mach 1 CAI with Shaker intake system on the bullitt?

No bullit is better than a cobra or mach.A bullit is just a damn gt with 5 extra puny horses, and by the way a cobra is not a gtI REPEAT "ITS NOT A GT" [:@], its a whole other machine with better looks,power,and performance.

RE: whats the difference? GT VS Bullitt
guys the HP difference is totally incorrect. The engineers that designed the Bullitt used an accurate HP reading after the initial numbers came out claiming 265-final numbers were actually 270. Which still sounds a little light considering a throttle body, manifold(intake) pullies and better exhaust flow. If we did that to any Stang (5.0 or 4.6) we would not be telling people we gained 10hp.....it would be more like 20-30hp. And that is really the true numbers. Ford (as they did in the past, overrated the GT numbers at 260hp-remember the 96 Cobras 320hp controversey?) The more research I did, I found out that the 99-04 GTs were actually rated at 240hp!!!) And for those who have ever had the opportunity to drive both a Bullitt and GT stock will agree by seat of the pants feel there is no way there is only a 5HP gain. I had that chance and the stock GT actually felt slow compared to the Bullitt. Also the intake manifold on the Bullitt is a much better flowing intake especially for supercharging. There is a reason Stangers are swapping Bullitt intakes for their stock plastic manifolds......you can by an aftermarket intake that mimics the Bullitts.

RE: whats the difference? GT VS Bullitt
oh and I forgot to address mr. 03cobra guy........our Bullitts have Cobra brakes and a much better suspension setup. Your statement of saying Bullitts are just a GT with 5 extra Hp is plain lack of knowledge. And your Cobra IS a Mustang......the biggest difference is the 4v blown engine. If it was not a Mustang, it would not be so easy to swap bumper covers and a Cobra hood on any GT.
