I've yet to see any used ones for sale that are actually intact/useable, unless I'm missing something.
HI. My name is John and I live in Indy. I am lucky to have a 2020 Bullitt and a 2006 S197 plus an antique Porsche with a beater of a 2002 Acura TL. I love cars and work as a IPC tester associate in a big plant. I love the Bullitt, but am scared of the Chinese tranny. I like the 2006 transmission better, but well you know. The Bullitt option I chose is the magneride adjustable suspension, which I use and like. The Bullitt has the worst sound system I've ever bought in any car. No CD player, but I saved money over the 2100 B and O system offered. I'm not new to audio as I have 40 years plus in trying to find better sound. Soon, I will rip out the horrible speakers and replace them with Alpines for about $1700. With over 800 cds, I will either add a player or stream like they want me to. I bought the spare kit for Bullitt....yeah thanks again Ford for 400 bucks plus 19.95 for Highland Green touch up paint. Soon, I'll spend the 449 for the spare and wheel so that's $849 for a spare tire so I can ride with more peace of mind. One day soon....no spares...the dealer will throw you a can of fix-a-flat and yell good luck for $90000. Oh yeah in 2005 paid 25041.21 plus tax and in 2020 50,000 with a 1500 summer clearance rebate. So, the Bullitt should go 290 mph on the top end instead of 165, since 145 was electrically limited in 2005. Why did Ford put a Sync close to the gearshift? Why screw up the interior with an ad for Microsoft? I bought the Bullitt because it's beautiful and fast like the 1968 Movie car, but McQueen would tell you, "ditch the dumb sync badge and make this thing do 210 and hey I believe I can clear Oakland while listening to Van Halen's "Jump" So let's gas and blast baybee!Welcome all new members! Glad to see some of you participating alreadyLet's keep up this roll call.
Hi John!
Re: shaving all the emblems - I hope you know that the grille pony sits on a solid pony-shaped backing that's part of the grille, and that the fender and decklid emblems utilize mounting/positioning pins that go through holes in the fenders and decklid. You can get replacement decklid panels with no emblem, and grilles with no pony, but for the 5.0 emblems, you're pretty much stuck with changing them for a different color, unless you're into paint and body work.Hi All,
Trevor here. First American car purchase in my 40 years of life, although I drove American trucks/diesels for years (work).
Picked up a 2020 Mustang GT Premium with Magnaride and the Performance Package with Brembos. It was a “track car” purchase, and I’m trying to rack up 1000 miles this week to hit the road course this Saturday. 3 weeks ago I took one of my daily drivers (Lexus GS350 FSport) and managed to drive it very well on the track for the first time ever. It’s about 2 seconds slower in the 1/4 than the GT, and 120 less horsepower - so I’m really hoping I can keep the Mustang right-side up LOL. I’m shaving all the emblems soon, along with researching 1” lower springs (thinking Steeda is my best bet). Also doing tint soon, possibly wrapping the roof black. Not sure how to get rid of the shark fin though.
I did know that about the Pony, planned on blacking out for now then swapping grille later. Had no clue on the 5.0 emblem!? Seriously!? I’ll research the deck lid panels. Damn! Thank you.
Yer welcome. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but at least you won't be removing those emblems only to get a nasty surprise.
I’ve been lurking for about a month now prior to purchase. There is sooo much info compared to other auto forums! I’ll be watching my rear diff on the track this weekend - hoping it doesn’t go into limp mode, which will force me to do the rear diff fluid cooler. Really looking forward to learning about this car. :-)
