Bite the Bullit

[SpeedNovations]

So what's so special about the Bullit Mustangs? And can I out-run one with my car?

bullit was a commemorative model (think nascar plates but with wheels) to celebrate the classic movie "Bullit" which featured a dark green mustang galavanting through the avenues in San Francisco in persuit of a brand x muscle car of the era.

It has a special edition intake that's marginally better flowing than the stock plastic job and includes a dual bore throttle body, special tokico shocks and struts, lower riding higher rate springs, interior and exterior appearance packages, bullit wheels and badging and it came wingless in black, blue and green.

In your current trim you'd spank a stock bullit bad as long as you can maintain traction. They're just a GT but the intake responds better to supercharging than the plastic one so listen for the whistle.

GT's 260 HP and Bullits 265 HP at the crank.

Another piece of info......Ford only made 5,582 Bullitt's.

Your car with those mods probably runs 13.7-14.1?
The Bullitt "stock" would be around 14.8
Of course weather and location all play into E.T's
I'd try and get a peek under his hood because he may have some goodies installed. Good Luck:shifty:

Actually they are, MM&FF did comparison between an 03 Mach I, 01 Bullitt and 99 Cobra, and the Bullitt out performed the Cobra in almost every category.

Stock Bullitts run 13.9s.

14.8... you're high. Back away from the crack pipe. Stock bullit is 13.9-14.1 just exactly like a GT because the ARE a GT. The intake helps not at all and they're otherwise nearly identical.

Cobras are hampered by IRS and post times about .75 seconds over what they would if they had a decent rear end for drag racing. I beat many 99-01 cobras off the line strictly because they have IRS. When you get them down the road a bit, they'll smoke a 2V with their wild tall redline and bigger power.

Thus, CCM is correct.

Okay I've put down the pipe and opened the window. :loser: LOL
I was throwing out those times off the top of my fathead.
But,take a look at this info from IMBOC=Int'l. Mustang Bullitt Owners Club http://2rdrilling.com/bullitt/quartermileNA.htm
Your right on the money at the bottom end of the list is probably stock.
13.9-14.1 I'll tell you one thing though my car never ran a 14.2 without the bolt on's. JJT's article from MMFF seems to be a lil up on the #'s wouldn't you say?

I don't know much about the bullitt's or 99 or 01 cobra's, but I know there are lots of guys that have ran 13.1-13.3 with stock mach's. It's hard to tell cause when mustang magazines put out 1/4 mile times like that it's usually with a professional driver.
