Well, Bullitt #1 has rolled off the line and we're off! Many ppl have received a VIN and build date, but I have yet to do so... sad day. But, I'm anticipating it greatly. Start looking for them on the road... as long as their is no snow, haha.

I meant to put "there," not "their." Sorry. Yes, I am taking the plunge. This is the s197 I have been waiting for (preposition at the end of a sentence=bad). I didn't feel comfortable keeping the GT/CS. I think I explained why earlier and I scored a great deal on this. X-plan and the car will be available for discounts and rebates if there are any around when I go to pick up the car. My trade-in on the GT/CS was VERY fair and they are actually going to see if I can get more out of it by it sitting on the floor for a little bit. I can have the difference paid off very quickly. I'm finally 100% happy with the purchase. I'm just bummed that it will be snowy when it comes. To keep me busy, my brother and I are putting in a new steering gearbox, rebuilding the carburetor/converting to electric choke, and installing a hurst shifter in the '68 GT/CS. It's a great winter.

Oh we will. The 68 is pretty much complete and beautiful looking, it just needs some new parts to refresh it. I could probably take it to shows and pull something away from it. It looks great. It's just hard to drive a manual steering car when the gearbox has about 4" of play in it.

273hp and very rich... someone on there is stating that a stock GT posted 27_ something brand new. That can't be true. I brought up testing conditions and such, but I see more complaining, haha. I'm curious to see more runs and see what the results will be. No torque for some reason, but that will be fixed soon.
Korey
PS: What's the percentage for a stick shift with drivetrain hp loss?

You would think they would be rated better since they have a CAI,(I think) different cam and exhaust set up. They are only rated 315 at the crank.

Same cam, just different damper. I'm interested to see numbers. But, until I see multiple runs with the same conditions, I take it with a grain of salt.

Wally, did you end up losing money for investing in the mods that you preformed on your GT/CS or did it make the value of the vehicle go up? Cause i know you modded your 6 cylinder a bunch, modded the GT/CS a little also. Does this means that you are going to molest the bullitt also? or keep it in stock pristine condition like a NYT?
2008 Bullitt Mustang production has begun!
