Talking Bullitt or GT/CS

Ok guys and gals which do you prefer? I am trying to decide which one I like most and which to buy. I like the fact the the Bullitt comes with 3.73s and a CAI from the factory. On the other hand I love the looks of the CS. So I would like to see what ya'll think!

Thanks in advance.

If it were me, I would take the Bullitt...hands down! It's an iconic car associated with Steve McQueen! How much more macho can you get, lol. They are way more rare than the GT/CS and more performance orientated, too. The lack of aesthetics, that the GT/CS has, makes the Bullitt look more bad ***. Of course, you'd have to get the Bullitt in Highland Green, if you want to be the real Steve McQueen bad *** wannabe, though, lol.

Bullitt.

The GT/CS is nothing special. Just a bunch of aesthetic mods, that IMO, don't add much to the car. Bullitt is a timeless classic.

I am leaning towards the Bullitt. I really like the CS's look, but the clean lines on the Bullitt really appeal to me as well!

Yeah the highland green would be the color I would want! Is the CAI on the Bullitt as good as an aftermarket one? Just from the pictures I have seen it seems it might not flow quite as well. But that is pure speculation!

A aftermarket CAI with a tune would probably be the way to go to get the most out of it.

I almost bought a Bullitt. I saw the movie with my Dad as a preteen when it first came out at theaters. The current edition even had the exhaust tuned to match the movie car.
Although I voted for the Shelby in the poll, I didn't buy one due to dealer mark-up.
I ended up with a Roush Mustang because wifey liked the looks supercharger whine better.
Advice: Don't bring the wife to shop for the car you'll drive everyday.

Are you going to be able to resist the temptation to modify it? I would be hesitant to do anything but drop a whipple or built motor in the bullit. Maybe some SHR quarter louvers, but that's it. If you are prone to being bit by the mod bug, stick with the CS.

Keep in mind you can customize yourself to the nature of either car. What are your goals with the car. If your gonna add a supercharger then get the gt. Really its what you like the most.
