RE: The custom-designed exhaust system for the Bullitt
I have to agree. Its very much the same as the Shelby GT. You're paying a premium for a name a sticker package.
They increased the redline from 6K to 6500, and looks like a CAI and some other small addons and only got 315... Sad... I'm sure this will be another 40K car. I guess people will buy anything with a cool name.
The only thing I really like is the Color. I've had a ton of Green trucks from Ford. Probably my favorite car color is that deep green.
Oh well For the 10K premium name charge you can drop that in a standard GT and eat every bullitt for lunch. One day Ford will stop being so flashy with these trim packages and actually put some performance in, But then that'd screw their GT500 Sales.

So, they installed a new exhaust, gear,CAI and custom tune, removed everything the GT has making it look plainjane so they can charge more for it. I wasn't impressed. The previous Bullit was better looking,I obviouslylike the S197 better than the New Edge but in this version, they did it wrong.

LOLI love how the guy is saying how they tuned the chassis for performance while the video is running alongside what appears to be an offroad Mustang. My wife would need steps to get up into that thing LOL

Wasnt the last bullitt's HP underrated so as not to hurt sales on the Cobra? I wonder if they arent doing the same thing here?

I don't think a 400HP medium between the GT and the GT500 would have hurt; whether it be a Mach 1, Boss, or Bullitt
