 Mustang Bullitt returns - but who cares?

 

As much as I like the original movie Bullitt, and as much as I liked my own dark green '67 Mustang (before it rusted in half), I am more than a little disappointed in the latest news from Ford. I see little of interest in the news that Ford will deliver it's second Bullitt model in the fall of 2008.

Why?

  • it's a paint job
  • it uses off-the-shelf performance parts to add all of (approx.) 19 HP. You can buy these same parts at the dealer... and much more from the aftermarket.
  • there isn't any engineering involved
  • the originally planned 350 HP 4.6 or the 400 HP 5.4 all fell by the budget wayside. The upcoming all-new BOSS V-8 has been delayed and delayed - the dated modular engines have fallen seriously behind.
  • The original 2001 Bullitt special edition Mustang had more work invested in it.

So what do you have left?

A car to be seen in.... by those who care about such things. It doesn't do anything for driving enthusiasts.

 Mustang-Charger duel in Bullitt

 

Was the famous Mustang-Charger duel in Bullitt "fixed"? Could the Mustang have actually caught up to a car with more power and torque? The Sunday Times in the UK considers the question: http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,26789-2034362,00.html

This is also a picture gallery provided with the article. http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/TGD/slideshow/0,,5-780,00.html  How many of you know where/when the pictures were taken? Clue: not on the streets of San Francisco...

 Who's the coolest driver of all?

 

PictonHeads reports on a survey taken in Britain of favorite movie drivers and finds that James Bond (as in Sir Sean Connery - as if there were any other) has overtaken Steve McQueen as Bullitt for the first place.

The rest of the picks are surprising... and you have to wonder about the Brits for some of the choices they've made (Mr T?). You can also join the discussion and add your own comments.
