Ford already announced no more new orders to the UK apart from any already scheduled unallocated stock.Yes I would have liked the extra bits, however it wasn't a deal breaker not having them, I feel I got VFM and am more than happy with by Bullitt it feels a lot more "Planted" than my GT was. Its a 2 year run so I presume the "Books" will be shutting soon, but if they don't, I dont care.
Also the electronics package is different for example no BLIS and of course the lights and reflectors are differentOnly referencing your point about the Bullitt differences between the US and EU/UK. The EU/UK Bullitt does get the GT350 intake manifold, throttle body and intake like the US car. The differences between the cars are listed below.
Differences between the UK/EU Bullitt and the USA Bullitt:
453hp vs. 480hp - Down to the European requirement of a GPF integrated into the cats and the RHD exhaust manifold.
3.55 Trac-loc LSD vs. 3.73 Torsen LSD
3rd Air vent in central dash vs. Oil pressure and vacuum gauge in central dash
No strut brace due to EU pedestrian crash regs vs. Bullitt strut brace
Recaro seats only vs. Optional heated and cooled seats
No green stitching on the dash or carpet mats due to RHD vs. green stitching
Electronics pack standard vs. Optional electronics pack
Fair enough. Not worried about BLIS and of course every Euro Mustang has different lights, reflectors and wing mirrors.Also the electronics package is different for example no BLIS and of course the lights and reflectors are different
The brace is the easy bit. Machined to fit not with ugly spacers The diff keep us posted about I'm interested. And the tune is an issue because of the GPF but someone might correct me...Fair enough. Not worried about BLIS and of course every Euro Mustang has different lights, reflectors and wing mirrors.
As for me, I'll order an authentic Bullitt strut brace from the US and 4.09 gears. Debating whether to buy the Torsen T-2 diff from Ford Performance as it's about $900 and then swap the 4.09s in, but I will at least do the rear end swap regardless of the diff.
I am also confident that the gap between 453hp and 480hp can be closed significantly with a simple remap by Steeda or a custom tune in the UK.
Excellent strut brace and very nice car! I can't wait!If you get a Steeda Steve McQueen Limited Edition Bullitt, you can park up at a show (or at home!) knowing you have something super cool that other people dont. A genuine collectable.
