Wish I could just snatch the whole bumper/valance and exhaust but considering how much trouble I'm having sourcing the current premium bumper (at a decent price) I won't get my hopes up. Assuming dimensions would even work.
The front is a turn off for me, and I'm neutral on the hood.

I heard the next Bullitt will be available in green. :headbonk:
Ha! I think they had it available in black for a while too -- not that I'm interested in the black -- we don't have Dark Highland Green in the options list -- but I'm hopeful that it will come later. I know Ford applied for trademark for "Mach 1" -- so that seems likely at some point -- anything like that on Bullitt yet? I know -- it's a little off topic -- but it seems like a missed opportunity to not have one for the 50th anniversary of the film -- and that will be an '18 MY car..

Keep in mind that just because Ford applied for a trademark on the Mach 1 name doesn't really mean it's on the way.

Occasionally companies have to reapply for trademarks to keep someone else from snagging them. A good example is Ford let the trademark for the GT40 lapse, and the company that snapped it up wanted a stupid crazy amount of money to use it. Thus the 2005-2006 GT's were just "GT's" instead of GT40's.

Yeah -- but I still hold out some hope -- there are pictures of that mule with a bulge on the hood? It doesn't look like a shaker hood -- but something different is lurking under there -- possibly some piece of a shaker system?

If that's the case, soft limiter might be 7400 on the 18 with fuel cut at 7500 like the PP3 kit, again backing up my speculation that we may have a gt350im/tb on the 18 (maybe an option).
Could be.
I wounder if the oil pump gear has been upgraded to handle the RPM? I sure hope so. One less thing to worry about.

I would bet it's coming in 2018 MY just because they seem to be obsessed with Mustang, Cobra and GT history. I would think the Bullitt edition has been sold recently enough that they wouldn't need to refile a trademark for it.

I hope so too but I doubt it. They use the same opg in the voodoo as the coyote and the voodoo is turning 8250rpm with it.

Well... It's growing on me. Having said that, when is the best time to purchase a MY17 5.0 in Lightning Blue? LOL :D

I had wondered about that -- thanks for that information -- I've also heard that the OPG is more of a concern mostly for people running boost.

Not much difference I can see for the 2018 model as yet, I hear on the grape vine 2020 will have quad exhausts switchable and the magnride suspension ...nice.
