why did you sell your bullitt

[Sivi70980]

the bullitt is just a green gt.

With 20 more HP and chrome trim and manual only transmission and of course the price mark up.

The Bullitt is nostalgia for us that care. Too everyone else it’s a green GT. Different strokes for different folks.

You forgot the badging inside and out.

Oh yeah! The 28 different Bullitt badges in case you forget what you're driving lol. Easily the biggest turn off to me.

Man, after reading this thread, it seems a good many of you are hiding your sponsors, or Your entire mustang purchase revolves around ROI for race entry fee's, etc. Because: Faster!


Manuals are more enjoyable and rewarding to drive. Manuals are simply funner..!

Subsequently, I am not worried about what is fastest (I don't win trophies on the streets), and am not worried in how fast my car shifts gears, unless I choose exactly what gear that is. Why own a performance car, if you don't want to be integral cog in the machine, weaving the gears and clutch and whipping the horse around.

Automatics are a compromise. We all know this...

Aren't you the guy that shifts from 1st to 6th and says us manual guys that shift 1-2-3-4-5-6 are idiots? WTF do you even have a manual for anyway?

Quick Manual shifting advise!

I'm usually easy to get along with, but some people just need to be put in their place.

Actually there are only four. Deck lid, horn, dash panel, and the under hood brace. It’s fine not to like something but no need to dis it. We are all Mustang people here.

Shifts? We don’t need no stinking shifts.

Wasn't my intent to dis it, I LOVE the green and how clean it actually looks. If I went for it over my GT, those badges would have to go though. Of course I'd save them for trade in/sell time. I mean, I got rid of half the badges on my GT too soooo... Again, apologies to anyone offended by my sarcastic remark on badges.

I remember my first walk around at the dealership as I was drooling over it, I kept seeing the bullseye badge and thought, how many of these things does it need? Maybe because they're all the same/similar? Normal GT has 2ea 5.0s, 2ea? ponies, and 1ea GT. Does the Shelby even have 4 badges the same/similar? 3ea? cobras, and a Shelby written out? Dang now I need to check out a Shelby lol

My opinion is that you don't buy a Bullitt Mustang to build a race car out of it. You buy it for the nostalgia and to take out cruising down open back roads on the weekend with the V8 soundtrack playing in your ears and the Highland Green paint glistening in the sun (black Bullitts are IMPOSTERS. LOL).

If you want a race car, buy a GT. Then you don't have to sweat customizing it to your preference. If I had a Bullitt, I'd have to leave it stock as it is something special in its own right. But my GT/CS? It's special, but I will still change the spoiler and do exhaust on it without crying myself to sleep at night.

To each their own. However, the Bullitt is still a good car. You just bought the wrong tool for the job. Glad you corrected your mistake and are now happy.

if the bullitt had a tremic I would still have it.

But another one and swap a Tremac in it!

I am on both sides of the argument. IM right with ya on Nothing beats a manual. But in todays world. Everything is so congested that manuals other then racing are becoming a chore. Every person I know who owned and drove manuals and sung their praises now drives an automatic. LOL. Myself included. No matter how we feel about manuals the truth is they are now down to only 2.8 percent of all automobile sales and keep falling each year and electrics have no transmission. so unfortunately manuals days are numbered. NO matter how much we few love them.

Huh, IMO a manual is the same as an automatic when you are cruising down the highway at a constant speed. If you like a manual you like it. If shifting is a chore then I guess you really just don't like a manual transmission. I'd much rather have a manual if I'm going to be in traffic, because it gives me something to do besides brake, gas, gas, brake.

Oh and the Bullitt is mega cool. Love it.

Pretty much sums up Mustang ownership lol

So what do you suppose happened along the way? Serious question.


Now you at least know of a couple of 70-somethings who still won't buy an automatic even for the daily driver/mindless errand-runner/family sedan function. I'd say commuter function as well, except I think that's permanently in our past. Wouldn't make any difference if it wasn't, though.
