Yeah for me a blank deck lid would be mod #1.:thumbsup:

I go back n forth on the calipers, sometimes I think the red is a nice little contrast “pop”, sometimes I think silver or black would be IT ...

Some pix I ripped off of FB from an event named 'Parking at Pasteiners' in Birmingham Michigan:
Nice! Looks like the first road driven one with a real plate on it. Hoping someone got some exhaust clips.
The little "M" in the center of the license plate means that it is owned by a manufacturer. If you zoom in, you can see the word "Manufacturer" at the bottom of he plate.

In this case, no doubt the manufacturer that owns this car is Ford, since they are not readily available in commerce yet. When they are, you can rest assured there will be one with manufacturer plates driven by GM engineers.

Saw the Bullitt in the flesh today. I hate the red calipers and they should just leave them grey. I hate red calipers - the fad has passed us by. As an old fart from that period I actually like the fake gas cap. The chrome strips along the windows is always a nod to the old days. I also hate the non-functional scoop for the wheel wells. The white cue ball shifter is always cool. Frankly the car looked like a performance GT in green as a California/Special edition. You end up wondering what all the hype was about.

I LOVE EVERYTHING about the exterior of the new Bullitt Mustang...Except

... the red calipers
... the fake gas cap
... the wheels
... the chrome around the windows and grill
I LOVE EVERYTHING about the interior of the new Bullitt Mustang...Except

... the Recaro seats (option)
... the Unavailable 10 Speed Automatic
So, if I understand your posts correctly ...

The only thing you like about it is the license plate bracket.

The hype is about the increase in horsepower and the gorgeous green paint.
And for that, they'll get buckets of cash.

Oh well, to each their own.

Yeah I'm very familiar with the manufacturer plates, I get press cars pretty often and most of them have manufacturer plates too.

Some pictures from the Pittsburgh auto show. Couldn't get close to the car since it was roped off, but glad to see a non-Recaro car since that's what I'll be ordering. Also was hard to see the number of it, but if I squinted hard, I believe it was VP008 but not 100% sure.

I'm going to agree with that being an 8 also, We haven't seen 6 yet either. Not sure if I'm missing any but this is what I've compiled.

TT003 - Production Line Test(Black)
TT004 - Production Line Test
VP001 - Chicago spy shots
VP002 - Houston (Possible Barret-Jackson car)
VP007 - Detroit
VP008 - Pittsburgh
VP010 - Ford R&D Center in Dearborn - Philly

Cool. Just didn't want people unfamiliar with the process to think that was actually a sold unit out in the wild.

Funny how many hate the red calipers. That was one of the things that was really liked about the '01 car.
I'm surprised about the Recaros, but they're really nice to have even though they don't play onto the retro theme.
As to the lack of an automatic...watch the damn movie...

Did the original car have red calipers? Every boy racer paints the calipers red. It’s now a cliche. I’ve even seen rear drum brakes painted red. :crazy:
