2008 Bullitt Mustang Specs and Information Leaked
May 14th, 2007 by CobraMatt
Not sure this is how Ford would like details of their 2008 Bullitt Mustang released but you can’t keep something bottled up forever. Over at Brads Mustang Site a forum member has posted what he says are the real specifications and information about the mid-year 2008 Bullitt Mustang and they are very dissapointing to alot of Mustang fans who had high hopes for this next generation Bullitt.
In the performance department the stock 4.6L engine will recieve a Ford Racing performance pack to bump horsepower to 312, falling short of the 350-400 horsepower thought by many. The suspension for the Bullitt will get an upgraded steering system, shock/strut tuning and a strut tower brace. The interior will get custom leather sport seating, unique sill plates and bright metal trim along with a custom shifter.For the exterior the 2008 Bullitt will only be available in Highland Green or Black with a unique V6 style grille, rear faux gas cap with Bullitt logo, 18″ Bullitt style wheels and red brake calipers. Other modifications include a 3.73 rear axle and X-pipe exhaust with bright tips. No word on price just yet but Ford plans to produce 7,700 units for the US and Canada.

This is very disappointing news regarding the engine bay. Initial hype would have lead me to believe that Ford was about to do something special with the Bullitt. They’ve just lost another customer(me).

I totally agree with you these are some week number for a car that is supposed to represent a muscle car. And I will bet you a million dollars the money hungry idiot dealer will mark this thing up. I am done with Ford, I am going to get the new Dodge Challenger.

Or ,rush to your chevy dealer to order you new hot z28 at window sticker(remeber the z06,zr1 ect. I AM NOT A fORD DEALER….I do drive a SHELBY GT500 and did not get it at sticker. Its called supply and DEMAND. I did not like the extra but i’m driving a car I “LOVE!!!!!”

The whole car is Faux, not just the gas cap. Ford is shooting blanks with this car. How much is Ford’s CEO getting paid for this throw together automobile? Did someone say mark-up? HA-HA-HA, you’ve got to be kidding. I like Mustangs, but give me something I can use……..

It says a v6 style grille, not a v6 grille.
The basic V6 style grile is plain with no fog lamps.
The Original Steve McQueen Bullit Mustang had a PLAIN EMPTY grille. So wouldnt a person who wants this expect just that ? DUH !!!
The whole point is the car is supposed to look plain-jane .. understated.. This car isn’t just for people who loved the movie.. but people who want a GT without all the pretty look at me badges.. People who make post about this car like its supposed to be all fancy don’t know shit..
It’s also lighter then a regular GT AS well as the 3.73 rear ( compared to the regular GT with a 3.53 ).. thats good for a faster take off and .25 less on the quarter mile even without ANY HP increase at all..
