RE: 03 Mach 1 vs. 01 Bullitt
I read somewhere, and correct me if I am wrong, that the Mach 1 is also lighter than the GT by 200 pounds or so, enhancing it's performance even further.
I do know one thing for sure, my Mach 1 is stock and it hauls pony butt!! [8D]
I cannot wait to install the Vortec.

Nice write-up. I do have to disagree with Ford's excuse for lack of commitment to the Magnum 500 rims though. Take a look................how sweet they look.

The other retro cue that falls short are the 17x8.0-in. nouveaux "Magnum 500" wheels. They don't even come close to looking as cool as the authentic chromed steel Mag 500s on the original; we blame the lack of rim offset (depth). Unfortunately, the rim depth required for that "deep dish" look would've caused steering kickback problems, according to Ford Engineering.

Ummm...........I know that. That was my whole point. Ford made it out to sound like Magnum 500's couldn't be done on the new Mach 1's. These photos prove otherwise (hint hint.....these ARE Magnum 500 rims). The actual OEM Mach 1 rims are a mere shadow of these awesome wheels IMO. Such a shame.

Basically a repro of the original design

Solid Axle Cobra w/o blower
Thats a MACH 1
With the heritage styling to pay homage to the older Mach's
The 4.6L V-8 is a combination of SVT Cobra and Mach-specific components--less the supercharger, of course. Cold-air intake is functional.
is a unique version of Ford's 32-valve cast-iron block/aluminum-head 4.6L DOHC V-8. This is the same one used in the 390-hp Cobra, but without supercharged assistance. Ensuring that the Mach motor breathes properly is a functional scoop that mounts squarely atop the intake manifold and pokes through a cutout in the special plastic hood. Talk about heritage: The Mustang team says the new scoop is made on the same tooling as the '60s originals
The good news is that more production can be had, if necessary. We also feel the fully equipped, sub-$30K price point is fine.
As any enthusiast who ever lifted a hood knows, Ford's current generation of computer-managed, injection-fed modular V-8s are well mannered and shake little at idle. Long gone are yesteryear's radical cams and over-jetted carbs that caused all that stoplight snorting and shuddering. But thanks to the new Mach 1, you can once again look across the hood, nail the throttle, and enjoy that distinctly American musclecar feeling, as the engine rocks on its mounts and the hood scoop nods its acknowledgement.
Some slices of history are worth repeating

All the 01 Bullitt mustang is is a limited edition mustang GT with 5 extra hp and a couple of very slight performance improving bits.

bullit proof001 you area bitch
your car is nothing ok. If a GT versed a bullitt the winner would depend on the driver. I have driven over 5 diffrent bullitts (stock) and they feel just the same as a 99-04 gt 1/4. I would choose a bullitt over a GT any day dont git me wrong they look amazing inside and out but, peformance wise they is barely any diffrence. Feel free to list all the peformance mods the bullitt came with.
