Looking at buying a Bullitt
first of all,
what's up with the search function and "Bullitt" ? I get a message back saying there's nothing in the database or some such crap. Oh well...
I was looking at a new black Bullitt this weekend. Thinking about trading my GT for it.
I know the original Bullitt was the green, but is there any stigma with buying the black paint job?
also, I've got the Magnaflow Magnapack's on the GT. Does anyone have any experience with those compared to the stock Bullitt exhaust? I'm certain I could take them off the GT and put them on the Bullitt if need be. They are catbacks and would be easy enough to swap out.

RE: Looking at buying a Bullitt
I believe the search is still broken......
We just bought a Green Bullitt yesterday. I saw a couple of Black Bullitts, but just did not care for them near as much...I am very nicely surprised with the refinements with the Bullitt, compared to my 05 when stock.....better, and not necessarily in order....shifter, clutch, HID's, ride, braking......
Can't speak to the Magnapacks, but the Bullitt exhaust note is great....
As far as the color choice, hey, your payment, your choice......
JMO,
Mike

RE: Looking at buying a Bullitt
black Bullitts are very rare (as far as total production numbers go) but not a lot of fun keeping clean.
The stock Bullitt exhaust is special to that model, so I can't see any reason to replace it.

RE: Looking at buying a Bullitt
Damn, that'sa great deal. I saw a green one here in downtown Austin, TX the other day while walking to lunch with my co-workers. Went right by us througha light. Let's put it this way... I noticed the exhaust note and car and got all excited but my "non-car-guy" buddies never even noticed it pass.
They can say what they want about it's "subdued" looks and great "exhaust note" but I can tell you it looks/soundsaren't that great
.
What looks/sounds good to Ford engineers???? I just don't get it. That's why I purchased a bone-stock GT with interior apperance and did my own thing.

If it were not $10k more than the almost new GT I just bought, I would have got it. Now I find myself wanting to put that dash, that interior trim, a CAI, and bunch of other details on it, not to make it a Bullitt, but because I love those details.
Oh, and to Sancho, the Bullitt puts out 25 more HP at the crank due to a cold air intake, and revised engine tuning. THat and the factory, Bullitt only 3.73 gears make it feel like it has more punch as well.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I totally disagree. I love it. The simple look, the cool, mean appearance, the unique dash, exhaust, engine tuning, suspension tuning, CAI, and small details, all from the factory.
