This is the car I'll get over the Bullitt. I almost pulled the trigger on the Bullitt... but I think I'll wait for this.
Damn... super impressive. Loving that it has Tremec tranny.

Something like this. Added benefit: it makes you sit a bit higher up meaning you can lower the seat yet still see over the hood.
I'd get the 2019 Model Year even if it was a $10K delta.
Just get the '19 model year. Too many changes and you know the entire history of the vehicle (where it's sat, paint issues, future concerns).
Isn't GT350 and Mustang GT share similar bodies? If so, how is GT350's visiblity vastly superior to that of a normal GT?
Very curious to see what is different and if you can share, that would be great!
This was a very eye opening thread.
No question that a GT350 is a special car with an amazing engine. And if you consider yourself an enthusiast then you should have no qualms on having to check and fill oil every 2nd fill-up. That is what makes an enthusiast.
How often are we going to find...
Thanks, Matt. Based on your review, it appears that the 2018/2019 Mustangs are very similar to pre-refresh Mustangs. Similar engine, similar powerband (though more power up top), similar transmission, same interior for non-Premium models, etc.
I'm now leaning more towards cancelling my '19...
Hi Matt, a couple of questions:
How are the seats? Are they any different than your 2016 Mustang GT?
How is the power band? Does it feel more torquey than your 2016 in the lower revs, or is all the power up high as you rev-up the engine?
Just bustin' your b@lls here... lol.
I love the fact that the GT350s are still in production. I heard one the other day and oh man. Almost made me cancel my Bullitt order...
I just find your quote amusing because GT350s are slated to be still in production come 2019...
So my question to you is, how did you know what you said?
The Bullitt is more, way more, than just the sum of the extra features.
It has a different soul. Drive a GT and Bullitt back to back and you'll see what I mean. Yes, the Bullitt is at least $5K more than a comparably-equipped GT Premium simply because there are zero discounts on the Bullitt...
That's what the local dealers are saying: the Bullitt does NOT qualify for any discounts. One dealer offered $500 discount (delivery credit) but he's charging $499 in admin fees. So a wash, really. LOL.
Interesting to see that the website states that the Bullitt is eligible for employee-pricing.
I am not able to get any discount off of Bullitt, let alone get employee pricing!
It's not a bad decision per se, but it depends upon what you actually want out of the car.
Camaro has a lot of things going right for it: handling, torque, transmission, Heads-Up Display, etc.
But, there are major things wrong with the vehicle as well: sightlines, comically-shaped...
Can't wait for your report!
I'd like to know about the torque curve and power delivery, so if you can focus a little bit on that then that would be much appreciated!
Also, how are the gear ratios different in real-world?
The reason why the clutch engagement feels so smooth is due to active rev-match: the computer knows exactly what RPM the engine should be when you down-shift OR up-shift.
Matt, how is the power delivery on the Bullitt? I know it has quite a bit more power than your '16 GT, but does it feel...
