Modern Collectibles Exposed: The 2001 Mustang Bullitt Edition 0-60 MPH Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2001 Mustang Bullitt Edition may look familiar to movie fans and that's because it harkens back to the 1968 390 fastback Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt. The 2001 Mustang Bullitt is based on a Mustang GT but added some special bits to make it drive and performa better including high-flow mufflers, Tokico shocks, red brake calipers with the Mustang Logo and a few engine tweaks to make it a bit more powerful. What makes this car unique and why will do we think it will eventually go up in value with classic cars collectors? And how long will it take before the car becomes collectible? And of course how fast is it from 0-60 MPH? Those are questions that we answer in this new feature and modern collectible drive and review.
ford revised the official h.p. rating to 275.
I dont care about how much power or the specs on this thing..the sound of that 4.6 never fails to make me happy
Would have gone A LOT faster with the traction control OFF. When the green light is on the dash it means the throttle is being limited
Danny Johnson lol first thing I do everytime I get in my Bullitt is push that little button to turn it off
And shift at redline. Looked like he shifted at 5500 rpm. Unless it falls flat after 5k rpm.
midrangetorque I have a 2003 GT. Yeah these Mustangs don’t like going above 5,400 rpm. What kills these cars acceleration is traction control. It literally cuts gas to the engine when it detects wheel spin. He could’ve done 7 seconds or less without it. Maybe 5.5 seconds at sea level.
Angel Gutierrez power isn’t much after 5400 but 5600 is stronger than 5000 so shift at 6 grand to put yourself right back in the power band
Ok Dokey Yes man but mine has 4.10 gears. I do almost 3k rpm in 4th gear at 50 mph. I can shift at 5.5 rpm and still be in the power curve.
7.71 seconds to 60....lmfao.....even a mile above sea level that is ridiculous. take the damn traction control off. this channel has some of the worst drivers for testers that I've ever seen. my 01 gt ran 0 to 60 around 5.8-5.9 secs....you just can't drive
The elevation matters way more than you think
The "hub caps", which were actually wheel covers, came off the Charger, not the Mustang.
I winced every time they made that joke. That and the theme music that was beat to death.
With all the exotics and high end rides you guys review I appreciate the fact you guys took notice and reviewed the Bullitt as an owner I know how truly special they are. They are not the fastest,not the best of quality build materials, but they have tons of character and muscle car feel, and are a Blast to drive. Thanks for sharing guys!!
It may not be the fastest but man is she gorgeous.
Dude, I have a Black Bullet, and the way you were yacking your lip and not watching what the hell you were doing around that car, I'd never let you near mine. In fact, gonna warn the Bullittheads about this. These cars are rare and people take care of them, and that car was meticulously detailed. You should respect other people's cars and treat them better than your own. If that's how you treat collector's cars, I sincerely hope you don't own any.
Tim Flight 😒😒😒😒😒😒right #463.. No one drives my bullitt but me and the wife
Red calipers?? It has 13 inch front rotors with calipers from an SVT Cobra.
94-2004 best mustangs ever made as far as to look at and sound
Agreed!
99-04*
100%!
Drunk
@@chriscurling7423 whats your point chris?.i love new edge too.
I own a V6 01 "New Edge" with 70,000 on it. I love the 99-04 look. Always have. Even the V6 with stock pipes has a roar that you don't get from other V6's. I love this car. I just got 336 out of 12.7 gallons ( mostly highway). That's amazing for a 20 year old car. I know V8 people but my baby goes if I need her to with no regrets. Mustangs of this year are so cherry!
Dude just get a damn V8 2V then it’s the same gas mileage and you can find nicer ones for so cheap
V6 people are so strange and no it will never ever sound like or come close to a V8 at all in sound or feel
Jeez
Ol Nathan loves that sound.... ever hear a 4.6 SVT Cobra mixing fuel & air on take-off or even mid-stride ? Not bad either.
This is comin from a mopar guy. This might be the only mustang I’d truly ever want to own. Probably because my uncle owns one. Got it brand new. And I love it.
Amen..
Can't beat the sound look of that generation of mustangs.
Just got mine today c:
this Mustang is so darn pretty ! def one of the best looking cars of its era, and even today imho.
theres one of these for sale near me. Wish I could get one! sounds awesome!
I'm about to buy a supercharged 2008 Mustang Bullitt with low 20k original miles, Does over 100mph at the top of 3rd gear, Bullitts have tons of potential to be awesome cars, you haters don't even know how bad you would get smoked.
Does 220 km/h at the end of 4th ;)
I have a 2001 Bullitt that I ended up installing a supercharger on and on the street I've surprised more than my fair share of people who wanted to go, and there haven't been many that have gotten the better of me. I've seen some embarrassed looks on guys in their 2016 mustangs lol
#463 right here.. Gonna install my supercharger soon on my Bullitt cant wait!!
3V ain’t smoking anything other than a Prius.
And noobs like you that havent actually drove legit cars dont know how bad you would get smoked. An eagle talon/ mits eclipse wails on those stangs. Awd with a turbo is all it takes bubba. And that is just one car.
I HATE the 2v 4.6 in terms of power output, however the little 281ci engine sounds fantastic and they are bullet proof. That said this would be the only 2 valve car i'd even consider buying...
You don't know 2v until you own a P71 or a Lincoln Towny.. Mine's making 309rwhp 321rwtrq with a TFS top end..
The baby shoe hanging from the rear view mirror adds a nice touch.
these guys can't shift for shit! I can get my 04 stang gt 0-60 in 5.3 seconds at altitude of 5500 ft. and my stang has less power!
sure .. uhm how do you think its possible? 320hp cobra goes 0-60 in 5,0 flat .. so just how ?
I could buy a tan one right now with 82k for $12k
6:02 Did you notice the shoe?
Lol the shoe!
Yes in the same sentence with character lol.
To S2Kracer if u hate the mustang fan base sooooo bad why r u on a mustang video reading and posting comments ........kinda funny get a life quit haten
One of the best looking and sounding Mustangs Ford Motor Co. ever built. May not be the fastest , but who gives a rat's ass when your ride is a total blast to drive ?
I worked for a Ford dealer when these came out, and did a PDI (inspection) on one of these. I remember when I did the road test everyone was asking me questions about it at stoplights, and telling me how cool it was and sounded.
probably the best 2v ford put out
I never realized how much of an impact sea level had. I know for sure I can get somewhere between 5.5-6 seconds just depending on the time of day down here in New Orleans. Only mods is a air intake and a intake manifold (more of a repair though to be honest),
Everybody who knows New Edge Mustangs knows that the V8 engines in the Bullitt, Mach 1, and Cobra were all under rated by the factory on purpose. The Bullitt was about a half second faster through the 1/4 mile than the standard GT and these cars ARE collectible. Nice examples are selling for twice as much as the GTs.
Due to a different intake manifold.
What makes the 01 bullitt special is the intake manifold, factory brembo brakes, side scoop delete, seats, sails, gauges, and mudflap side skirts. These cars are holding their value very well and if you want one right now is the best time to buy them since their value is near its bottom.
Cant find one near the san francisco area...
one in my town with 120k miles priced at 14k lol..
Dsgdrew That's right well said, most of these comments are annoying and they don't know what they are talking about.
These guys can't drive. My 2002 gt was faster than that
People that drive mustangs like me know how addictive the exhaust note is, everyday I launch off a stop light just to hear it lol
What's the point testing acceleration when the altitude adds 2 seconds to the time?
my 0-60 in my 01 gt is about 5.2... on street tires lol
As he said, he's at high altitude. DERPPPPPPPPP. You're not going anywhere near 5 seconds at high altitude.
i realize that i was just making a point... and lets be honest at lower altitude these guys couldnt bring in those number, they are terrible drivers...
Bro you just scratched the car with your ring OMG ! 1:52
I just one of this with a lot of miles 225,000K and is a lot of fun to drive
I'm about to buy a 2001 Bullitt tomorrow... Do any of y'all have suggestions and warnings? i'm excited!!!!
How did it go with
it sounds nice I own a black bullitt this car feels fast and heavy
I own both an '01 Mustang GT and a newer CTS-V. Sure, the CTS-V is WAY faster, but wow, the exhaust note of my Mustang is sublime. Totally makes the car feel amazing, even if it is kinda slow. I agree with Roman. A modern collectible indeed.
Nothing like a 2v, congrats..
Definitely something about the sound of a Mustang...just beautiful to hear!
Awesome mustang that's my favorite car mustang
This car isn't worth shit right now. Modern collectable my ass. If they had only put in the Cobra motor things would be so much different.
Saw this on the road for sale. Is $3500 a deal or a steal?
Matt London steal
If its a real Bullitt ? Thats a steal
I had an 04 black 40th anniversary with gold stripes. I've had faster and nicer cars but I loved that car. It sounded amazing and pulled a lot of guys on the streets of south Florida with just some basic bolt ons.
I think 2 areas where the car mags messed up was the 2v needs to be wound all the way out then power shifted. Stock I ran 14.1@98 literally the day I bought it. With x pipe tune and intake it ran mid 13s@105ish. Which for 2004 wasn't bad! My later 3v car was quicker but never sounded as good as the 2v and didn't feel as raw and alive.
I wouldn't mind having a new edge again, especially a bullet.
I don't know that these will ever be seen as a desirable New Edge. Even the Mach 1 is just now beginning to become desirable. Until the the last few years if it was a New Edge and it wasn't a Terminator most people just didn't care. I had a '99 GT that i absolutely loved and now i have a '03 Mach 1. From what i can tell, even a nice Bullitt brings less than have of what a comparable Mach 1 brings.
I think a cobra would be more of a "modern collectable".
yamaharider575 too many cobras they're pretty common. Rarely see any Bullitts. Don't know how many times I go to shows sometimes with hundreds of cars and I have the only Bullitt there but there will be plenty of cobras
yamaharider575 there are way way more cobras. You can get them alot cheaper. Just because it's faster doesn't mean it's more collectable.
03 Mystichrome hardtop
Dude, I live in Boulder. I'm stoned all the time.
Just bought one of these cars! And also realized you had the traction control on during your acceleration run...You can hear the engine bog and see the little green tire symbol that tells you it was activated.
Great video in any case, certainly helped decide my purchase decision!
$27K and 7 second 0-60? I'm gonna go get a chokeburger at Whattasuck
I would say the Supercharged Saleen is probably the most collectable of this car. Of course those were like $40 or $50k new I think.
I got a 2000 mustang, dark green, and I was told it has a bullitt performance package. I wouldn't know, all I know is it has 100 more horsepower than my old mustang, and I've already won three races in the few weeks I've owned it. I bought it from a salvage yard, it was rebuilt. And I paid 2500 cash for the whole thing. Do you guys think it was worth it? Because everyone around me, including myself think it was worth it, regardless of its problems.
Jesse Hasch you were lied too
I owned DHG 5337. Sold it about 7 years ago. Best sounding mustang from the factory imo. It was slow as shit but still a cool car to own. I wish I would have kept it as a collector car. Oh well I love my coyote even better.
Too funny..lol The Coyote is just a stroker 4v with better tech.. Congrats tho..
Only Mustangs Id ever collect. This. A Mach 1 or a Cobra. Otherwise its just another mustang and not special AT ALL
Roush and saleen
+Dsgdrew Roush is meh unless you get a stage 2+
Russell a Bullitt will smoke a mock 1 my 2008 Bullitt is not just a nother mustang it just shows how much you know about cars nothing
I never like that era/body style mustang, but I have to say that is a very cool muscle car. Love the exhaust note, retro gauges, gotta love American Muscle.
I had one 2001 to 2014, you guys covered most of the special features but I can add a few. Regular GTs did not have clear coat paint in the engine bay, there is a secret sticker like under the hood, with the build number under the back seat. All Canadian GTs came with the lights in the sun visors like convertibles, and standard sound was the 6 disc player. Sold mine for $15G in 2014.
To S2Kracer. Yeah, you're right about all those fake cosmetics. I love it!! I own a convertible 2000 GT with ALL that INCLUDING the wing in the back. All we want is to impress our particular peer group. My coworkers drive some of those ricers and they steer away from messing with my Mustang. I'm even about to install a boost gauge on the steering column for my normally aspirated engine! That'll impress them even more!
Maybe your coworkers only want to impress their particular peer group....
If I still had my prelude I had back in high school id mess with your mustang any day. no mustang driver ive met wanted to get their feelings hurt by that car.
Youre compairing one small group of people to the entire fanbase behind hondas. Its like me saying all mustang or ford fans are self centered ass holes. This i know is not true because ive met a couple cool mustang drivers and they respected other opinions even when it differed theirs, something i guess they all cant seem to understand.
I found a excellent condition 01 green Bullitt with 84K...they're asking $14K...is $12K a great deal for me?
A 2011 to 2014 3.7 V6 Mustang it's pretty much a drivers race with this car although I think the bullet would have the advantage on top end
i have the 2012 v6, but the first mustang i drove was the bullit through the north georgia mountains and I would trade mine in for one in a heartbeat.
Amen to that..
I came from the generation that loved the movie "Bullitt" & am a GREAT LOVER of the mustang. My beau & I own a 2001 Bullitt. It only has 2500 miles on it. We don't get to enjoy it because he wants to preserve it. I HATE THAT!! If my choice, I would drive this thing at least once a week. I am telling you. It is a sweet fast ride. I had a SC State Trooper ask me if it was fast last time I drove. I told him to follow me down the road, clock me, & let me know how fast it went. He laughed and said he wished he could. I grew up driving & working on muscle cars. My brother always drove Chevys & we used to race down the road in front of house. Those were the days!!!
The saddest cars are ones that are kept in the garage.
I agree, Brian.
+Pam Mullis Ya, I'm trying to keep my Bullitt in reasonable condition, but I still drive it about 3k-5k a year. It's garaged in winter and most rain. I've got a Jeep to beat on when I know I'm going someplace with gravel roads and you can't really let the engine loose in the rain anyway. I sometimes wish I had gone with a regular GT so I could feel freer with it. My wife insists I enjoy the car now. Who am I saving it for? If one of my nieces or nephews wants it "like new", let them restore it when I'm too old to drive.
I have a bullitt and the bullitt the doors sill plates they film are factory. Mine still have the factory plastic wrap still on them.
By the way, great video and great choice of car for the Modern Collectible series.
To be fair the 2008 is much better in every way you could say and Pays way more homage to the old Bullet than this did
did you say that it was a fox body? Comon really?
James Swearingen oof
Take of the traction control lol
if you guys are ever in texas you are more than welcome to review my 03 mustang cobra, soon to be a collectible id hope lol
Well if you still got it,congratulations.The Terminators are starting to sell for some serious 🤑🤑 now.
#notafoxbody
Damn that exhaust is awesomee
We posted it yesterday
Muscle car? Sorry but I disagree. This thing makes late 200's hp and 300lb/ft. That would be average in a hot hatch. Even back when it was new that was nothing to write home about. I wish Ford had done the decent thing and got it up over 400hp with at least torque to match. As it is this was little more than a cashing in exercise on a great name.
Yeah I have to agree. The only reason I believe the Mach 1 to be more of a collector car than the Bullit is that it had more actual performance parts. I have been in love with the Mustang since I saw my first Fox body in popular mechanics lol. I have been reading your comments and you definitely know your cars.
The Mach 1 in these Gen 4’s came out for just 2 years….03 & 04. That’s the years that the Cobra’s were Supercharged. The Mach 1 is basically the same car as the Cobra’s from pre 03 & 04. The 03 & 04 Mach 1 come with the DBL overhead cam heads and have some other cosmetic features that are different than the Cobra’s. Unlike the Cobra you could get the Mach 1 with either a standard or automatic transmission. The Mach 1 also came with the functional Ram Air Shaker Hood, something that the Gen 4 Cobra’s never came with.
7.7 too 60 pathetic my 07 Shelby gt does 5.0 too 60 and that's OK.But I am kinda comparing too my supersnake that is capable under 3 seconds too 60 and I think with a real sticky tire it can do it in 2.5 seconds.Thats what you get when you have 800plus hp.
High altitude n sea level are 2 different things..
Does altitude really make THAT big of a difference? Wow... I have a bolt-on + tuned '99 GT and I'm easily doing 0-60 in 5 flat on fairly crappy tires. This is with a fresh engine that has 8k miles on it.
+kingcrimson234 yup it does. i live in colorado springs. most military guys move here with camaros and mustangs. those either get sold real quick or boosted. lets just say suby and jeep are the vehicles i see the most
Funny ur watching a mustang vid but just can't help talking about your wrx....nice troll. Now go play tummy sticks with your buddies lol
Would it kill you to go any closer to sea level!
Did he say a 2001 gt sales for 10k da fuq I see 01's all the time under 5k and bullitt's for around 7-8k I almost bought one instead I got my 03 mach 1 I need to find out where these guys are so I could sale mine for 18k then pick up a cobra terminator
Here in florida i can get bullits for 10k in such condition, guess it doesnt seem that bad? Machs go for like 14 here and cobras for 20
My old 01 Bullitt at sea level in Sonoma I ran 13.68 at 100 all I had was a K&N air filter and on street tires.
Sorry man but your Mach 1 does not make 340 stock. If you mod it yes but not stock.
It doesn't make 265 it makes 320 because of the 4v V8 not a 2v.
Austin Bables The Bullitt's are 2v 4.6 motors. Only different is the Intake Manifold. They make probably 10 or 15 more HP than stock GT.
Correct
XSlashDashX No, they're actually only 5 more HP and TQ than the stock GT. It was a rip off if you ask me.
+Austin Bables the bullit is infact the low revving 2 valve motor not the 4 valve only the cobras and mach 1s have the 4v motor
My dad has a 2008 Dodge Magnum RT. Only about 635 of them made. I think it can be a modern collectible. PM me is interested. :-) I'm not too far from Colorado.
Just saw this as a suggested video and two things. The first is that it's amazing to see how much the professionalism of their filming has become but also it's kind of amazing to know how much their height changes things. Now...given...it's a 2V Mustang which was never and will never be fast without at least a blower of some sort, but it is kind of cool to know my 2014 F-150 has a self tested 0-60 average of 7.20 for a 5500 pound truck.
The 0-60 time was with traction control on. Look at the dash the green light is on. Not a true 0-60 test. Plus they are a mile above sea level take about a second off for normal testing.
Nice ring smack @ 1:51
2:09 does it again. He's also not sitting in the seat properly putting pressure on the side. His foot is on the door sills too. Complete hacks these guys.
What about the Sentra SE-R Spec V? They probably won't make one for the new Sentra. At least I hope not, that thing is hideous.
Um yea if your Mach 1 makes 340 hp stock then my Cadillac Seville makes 400 hp stock.
Christ. I'd hate to be caught by an LS1 in that Mustang, lol.
really like a lot of your reviews but you take a really long time to change gears
I got my 2001 mustang gt deluxe for around 3,500 but total of 4,300 for new parts. Not bad though.
So anywhere else in the country it's pulling 5.5-5.6 if you do the math that's hella good
this video looks like it was filmed in the 90s and you're a couple of time travelers who stole that mustang. lol
theres one gor sale right now with 24k miles for $25k
Bullitt getting smoked by a ATX Mustang GT... Priceless
Is there such a thing as a 2001 gt cobra bullet mustang
Enjoy them while you can As Ford got into LIMO MUSTANGS THE True Fun and Awsome Mustangs are Gone forever Dont Believe me we have been stuck with the Limo Mustang sence 2005 and youd think Ford would wake up and hasnt
TFL great review
Guy said 7.71 0 to 60, then congratulations to the owner. I'd be headed to trade that slow ass car in if somebody congratulated me on my cars almost 8 sec 0 to 60 run. My 03 cobra was at 86mph in 8.3 secs in the 1/8....lol
They’re at high altitude.
The cobra with the 5.4 engine is a lot faster than this if speed is what you're looking for. However the Bullitt is so much cooler
My dad has two mustang bulliet a 2001 model one is true bule and the other is hunter green
Gaming With ZiRA its dark highland green
Acually the 2001 Bullet is the "New Edge" SN95 platform Mustang. The SN95 platform that was designed in 1994 shared its underprintings with the old fox body including the sterring rack.
If were talking mustangs, I think more of a modern collectible would be the year they brought back the gt500. So the 2007 Mustang Gt 500. And this is the only year they allowed the classic colors of red with white stripes. This is also fits the issue on this comment page of power, because the gt500 definitely has power! Muscle Cars all the way boys!
