Default 2008 Bullitt Mustang Update

[/font]This is what I read today on MustangHeaven.com I thought I should share and maybe others have thoughts or input. I personally like it a lot, even though I'm not a fan of green. I think it looks like a V6 Mustang with a GT motor [/font]


[size=2 nd="2"][/font]
[size=2 nd="2"]A 2008 Bullitt Mustang issaid to be due out in either late 2007 or early 2008. The 2008 Bullitt Mustang is said to feature a plain painted black grille just like McQueen’s 1968 Bullitt with no pony badge or lights of any kind on the grille. A 4.6L DOHC engine producing 400horsepower isalso being reported to be stuffed under the hood withparts from the Ford GT rounding out the motor. The limited edition Mustang will only be produced in Highland Green. Other extras reported to be included on the 2008 Bullitt include a Road Race suspension setup.[/size]

Preliminary Details:


- Plain painted black grille with no pony badge or lights
- Highland Green color only
- 4.6 L DOHC Naturally aspirated producing 400 HP
[font=verdana][size=2]- Road Race type suspension modifications

I've always like the way the bullits looked. Not to flashy but enough to be apart from the rest.

I love the green. Most of the cares I owned were green. If they had a green 06 GT then I would got that.

Exactly, I would have love to have the green, as this car so resembles that "68 Bullitt" that I loved so very much as a kid. Plus there is that whole Steve McQueen thing too! Cool, just plain cool.

Didn't we see that photo about 1 1/2 years ago?
I was hoping to see a new one!
I have no idea how they're getting 400HP with N/A...
What's the most they ever got from a 4.6?
Or are we talking CAI, tune, pulleys, and the new camshafts and exhaust system... hmmm, I still don't think it'd get there.
Personally, I'd rather they just put more money into a beefy suspension! I was jamming around San Francisco in 2005 with my new GT and had to slow WAY down for the turns... and when avoiding cable cars!

Yep, there was/is and article with that picture in Motor Trend. In fact, they ran the Bullet against the then new Dodge Charger......Bullitt sucked it up and blew it out it exhaust pipes.
Let me find which month and year that was.......aaaah here it is. On the front cover was a picture of a Charger andthe Bullitt titled, "Bullitt The Rematch, New charger Meets Mustang On The Streets Of San Francisco. Aug. 2005

even if it was the same exact motor, if ford just added dark highland green (bullitt green) to the color line up, i would be a happy guy.
