goesfast Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Do this bullitt has a custom built exhaust that is supposed to copy the sound of the original bullitt. Is this exhaust already out on the market? I would imagine not, since it was supposed to be one of Ford's secrets but I saw a link somewhere, I forgot where, that has them for sale already? Are these fakes or has Ford already released them? Don't think they're fakes. If you search EBay, you'll find 'em, or wait till early 2008 for your local Ford dealer to get them for you.

Add some CCW rims and some big brakes and it might not be a bad ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whammer Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I'm in Canada also. I have a build date for the week of Dec.31 and an arrival at dealer date of Jan.14. As for options...I think the problem with the Ambient Lighting is- in Canada it's not a seperate option like it is in the States. In Canada it comes packaged with one of the interior upgrade packages. I'm not sure why these things are done? Sat. radio is standard on all Mustangs coming to Canada- in the US it's a seperate option. I suppose Ford has their reasons for doing these things.

moabman Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I already have my Mustang but that is a sweet CAI. Anybody know if they are going to offer it as a FRPP?

Mikesan Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I dig that shifter surround. Is that piece available from Ford and will it work on the GT500? Price? Too bad I just ordered one from Shelby yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parnelli Cajones Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'm really hoping to see one of these Bullitts in person with some mods done to it, I think it would make a great Sleeper on the street, folks thinking it was just another Mustang! I like the lack of badging alot! It really has me thinking about changing plans on my next car and maybe just buy one and find out on my own! :happy feet: :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be no difference between what the options are and no reason they can't do the same on both side of the border. They can obviously build the car either way with the exception of the HID problem with our daytime running lights (even though that doesnt make any sense either) I say, have the packages available but also have some options a la carte.

moabman Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks for the info kaylan1521! Just got my new issue of MM&FF and the Bullit is featured in it.

nilkilla Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 i'm really impressed with the option i just read about, that let's the car accept 87 or 93 with no ping. does anyone know if it ramps up tuing to match the 93 as well? this little sensor should be in every car made imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilkilla Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 a ha! i already wanted one, but that "dual knock" strategy (bold below) HAS ME SOLD... Better Breathing, Better Sounding, Better Power To punch the output of the Mustang GT's 4.6-liter, SOHC, three-valve V8 from its usual 300 to 315 hp, Ford employed a series of tricks both obvious and subtle. A new cold-air induction system that features an open-element air cleaner isolated from engine heat in its own sealed box just behind the left front headlight is the most obvious modification. And it's matched to a revised exhaust system tuned to reproduce the voice of McQueen's GT 390 (or at least what's on the movie's soundtrack). That's the obvious stuff. The subtle stuff starts with revised programming of the engine control computer. First the redline has been bumped up 250 revs to 6,500 rpm. Second, a "dual knock" strategy in the fuel map and ignition programming allows the engine to run on either regular or premium fuel — with the V8 making the same peak power either way, but with a slightly more generous torque curve when burning the good stuff. Add in some revisions to the throttle's responsiveness and the result is an engine that actually feels more eager and more capable than the addition of just 5 percent more horsepower would suggest. Ford backs that muscle with the Tremec five-speed manual transmission (no automatic will be offered) and the usual 8.8-inch rear end packed with a set of short 3.73:1 gears. (The GT runs a 3.55:1 set with the manual transmission.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 On the '07 GT's - 3.55's were an option. 331's were standard, I think. And I think my '04 Volvo V70 had the octane adjustment deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilkilla Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 so it can run with an 04 volvo? :o i wonder if volvo still uses that tech. I'm sure that's where ford got it from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 The article also said that the Bullit has a GT500 8.8 rear end. It supposedly has larger axle tubes, better bearings, and hardened gear rings with that 3.73 gear ratio. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylan1521 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 The Bullitt is/was the perfect sleeper. Which is why I left my 01 completely stock looking while taking it to around 525 rwhp. I was invited to Dearborn to spend some time with 6 Pre Production Bullitts. I got to drive the #6 car that Motor Trend jumped and with the GT500 seats, steering wheel, and pedals I felt like I was driving my Shelby. Until I stomped the go pedal. The 3.73's definitely help but obviously there's a difference. I got some nice photos of the 08 next to my buddy's 01 which looked real good side by side I might add.
