No dude not all 01's are bullet mustangs. They had a special edition in 01 called bullets. They had reworked suspension and a different air intake and thats the first time we saw the big scoop hoods and bullet wheels.

my car is a 2001 and its a regular GT, you can tell the difference because it says BULLITT on the back where the GT should be. also the C pillar looks like the older sn95's where its a sharp cut back not the new edges where its a slight curve (the small windows in the back). the breaks are painted red and the interiors have a "retro" feel. also there is no spoiler and they came in three colors: green, blue and black.

Nope. 35th anniversaries have v6-style hoods. Just an indent, no scoop.
