Looks like a V6 with green paint. Not bad but I would like to see some more muscle instead of this Bullitt,Shelby GT etc. How about an NA 5.4 SVT model? I would jump on that.

So, it's gonna be like the last bullitt, and not be any faster than the GT's, and look worse?

Sweet.

It's gotta get bigger wheels than that, and it's gotta look more aggressive...i know the original was pretty low key but it still looked like it meant business, that just looks like a V6.

I like it all stripped down like that. Real low key. I like em simple, no lip, wing, fog light or big chrome dubz.

Don't laugh, the 09 and 10 GT 500 are rumored to have a K&N to give them a little more HP than the 07's and 08's:rolleyes:

I like the engine turned dash a lot. Horn button and logo not so much. I kinda like the sleeper look but also agree needs more HP and bigger brakes, a good try though.

I love the looks, but it needs more HP!

definitely needs more hp, but keep it n/a. love the grill, im taking the horse outa my 67 for the same look. overall im not really impressed, styling coulda been better. i think the aluminum swirl is hideous, if they were gonna do aluminum it shoulda been the standard brushed aluminum like the original.

I like the 2001 Bullitt better than the 2008 version, although I do like the dash.

It will always need more power, we all know that.

I like the dash= classic hot rod.

Overall styling is on par with the 01 models

That way it'd weigh another 50 lbs, right? Then the handling, brakes, and engine would be even worse.

There's nothing magicial about having 6 speeds. Put the same OD ratio in a 5 speed as the 6th gear in the 6 speed, done. You could remove the 5th gear from my T56 and I honestly could care less. I very rarely use 5th gear in my Cobra. 4th in town, 6th on the highway. Anytime I use 5th, I could easily get by using 4th.

It already weighs nearly two tons, what's another 50lbs?

Having owned both an 03 Cobra and a 06 GT, I will say that the 3V engine really could use a sixth gear. Maybe it's the ratios that are crap, but I constantly found myself wanting to grab for another gear in the 06.

Especially since they have upped the rear end to 3.73, the deep overdrive of 6th in a T-56 would be very welcome.
