Why not just throw a 5.4 in your current car?

Just rip off you spoiler and get some emblems and you've got yourself a bullit. Even if you took Jay's idea and drop in a new one it would save you money, and I'd would be way more fun to do it yourself. You could sell it for more too once the 500 time came and see where you are.

2 years? in two years gas will start getting either scarce or very very very expensive
ford could be bought by toyota
id enjoy driving what you can get now before the sht hits the fan

I don't think he planned on keeping both. I sort of gathered that he wanted to buy one or the other.

Bullitt[:'(]That thing can be replicated so easliy.... GT500 however, is authentic in every wayThe bullitt is nothing special at all other than a few badges, a grille and ummm thats it LOL

GT500 all the way!

I'd say buy a Roush 427R, 4288R or Stage3 now. GT500's 10,000 built per year (I think) and dealer "bump" stickers - not worth it to me. Roush - just a handful made, 435hp with a 3 year warranty and can be purchased with nice discounts. The Bullitt doesn't do anything for me.

Make your own choice FTW. This isn't a Dictatorship!

i think the idea was that you could easily have a gt that is basically the same if not better than a bullitt...personally, i just like dark highland green - i don't like green in general, but i really like that color...if i ever had to repaint, i'd pry do mine in DHG just cuz...or grabber blue lol.......i like the bullit, just cuz it's simple and clean...the gt500 turns heads, but it's kind of an old person car, no offense (pretty much everyone you see with them are about 80 around here)......the sweet way to go would be a roush or saleen - but you're looking at 65K for a mustang...coulda got a vet or a challenger or almost a viper
