Matt...you’re definitely one of the most informative auto industry analysts on UA-cam as well as just a genuinely nice guy. You are so deserving of this car! Best of luck to you and look forward to future content.
Cool to see the Bullitt more in depth Matt! A guy who lives down the street from me has a 2008 Mustang Bullitt, I always like seeing it whenever I pass by since you definitely don't see them often. I'm a huge fan of the movie, I think more people who don't understand why we're so into this car need to see the movie and that car chase! Ford really got this car right if you ask me, I love how discrete it is.
Well done Matt, I had ordered my Bullitt soon after you had. Still have it, still love it. I appreciate your pointing out all of the differences, especially the subtle ones. Your are the only one in my research who pointed out the Standard Seats as being unique. Also the speedometer reaching 180 ( that I didn’t even notice ). I have 30K miles so far, exhaust is even throatier than it was 10,000 miles ago. As far as mods are concerned: I put in Ford Performance Springs, which lowered 1 inch. (Looks Great). Ford performance hood struts for convenience. Cleanable air filter. Had the headliner done in Black Alcantara with Green Stitching. Floor mats with The Car # & GT embroidered with green. Tires are now Firestone Indy 500’s . All these mods can be reversed to Stock. BTW, You run a nice clean channel. All the best
Congrats on your new toy! It's spectacular and if it were my type of car, I wouldn't have changed a single thing. The color is eye popping insane. It's perfection all the way around. I always turn my head when I see the new GT but this one is the "creme dela creme".
I agree with your choice on sticking with the leather seats very classy. Also I understand where they're coming from with the low profile look, i just like the look of a black spoiler on these mustangs so much.
The only drawback with the Bullitt is the fact that Ford could and should have put in the Tremec 6 speed. My 2020 Mustang GT Convertible 10R80 has passed many a Bullitt. I installed the Ford Performance Cold air intake kit with Procal 4 tune, which makes up for the difference in HP. I have 480 hp, plus an additional 20 lbs of torque. And with the ten speed, I beat a Porsche Panamera S on a highway pull, 85 mph to 135 mph. I slowly pulled away and saw the dude say WTF? Always puts a smile on my face.
I’ve seen a lot of hate on UA-cam but this is insane. Everyone is on Matt for is purchase for no reason he wanted the car he got it. He has stated clearly he didn’t want the gt350 leave him alone with his money. Be glad he can afford something he genuinely wanted. Most of the people sayin what he should do with his money don’t even have the money to afford what they are recommending for him. Do you and respect his choice and commend him for the hard work it took him to get him this. Good job Matt keep up the good work.
I don't understand why Ford doesn't offer Recaros with power and comfort options. My CTS-V came with the $1,600 optional 16-way Recaros which are heated and cooled. There is NO reason Ford can't offer something similar.
Because it’s true to weight saving. What’s the point of performance seats that weigh the same as comfort seats? Even Mercedes doesn’t have ventilated seats
its a beauty ! cant wait to hear a full on review once its broken in...the bulitt looks Soooo damn tasteful ,clean and understated in its looks...whoever designed it deserves a pat on the back
I can't wait for the first Real Drive when your able to give er hell. I can't wait to see and hear your reaction. Love the channel Matt Maran, keep up the amazing work.
Hey Matt, given the 2018's were underrated (dynoing around 480-490), I bet the Bullitt may be close to or over 500hp. Hope you dyno it after break in! Edit: $51K for all that goodness is a great deal. Anyone who says otherwise, doesn't understand the power and coolness per dollar!
51k is a shit ton of money for a paint and 2 different badges. You can get the GT with everything the bullitt edition has with the PP. might as well get the GT500 for a little more.
Really enjoyed this video Matt Maran. Thanks for doing it. Loved to see the differences. The Bullit has always been one of my favorite Mustangs. I'm also a big fan of the Cobra R, The Terminator and most of all Roush Mustangs.
I really like that you follow break in procedures! I have always done so myself. Nice to see someone trying to take care of there investment. Love the car man! I have a 2001 Bullitt myself.
Hey Matt, picking my Bullitt up in a few days, first Mustang too, your vids are great, but want to start listening to my own engine on the overrun; no offense. Anyway, great vids, thanks for the ear candy. I'm with you, if it looks and sounds right, you don't need stripes, spoilers and badges.
LOVE that car, I am not super fond of the S550, although they still are cool cars, but that one is sexy af. I wish they would have made some later model S197 Bullitt after the 2008 one. Keep up the content, thanks Matt!
Amazing car Matt!! The only thing that dissapointed me is that they green stitched the freakin' floormats but didn't do the steering wheel or e-brake boot. Seems kinda odd and lazy to me, the steering wheel is the main piece of the interior, it would look so good in green stitch. Good choice getting the non - Recaro seats as well! Can't wait for the full review and first redline pull :D
I love the way Matt always says in his videos how the stock seats are "free" when compared to the Recaros. No Matt, they're not free, you're still paying for them!
Hey Matt, thanks for the insight into differences, very interesting. I'm old enough to have seen the movie "Bullitt" at theaters when it came out. Well. as much as I like the original Stang, I like yours better. FYI, I left a comment in Sofyan's page asking both of you to make a video testing out each other's new cars. Would be fun.
Beautiful car man, very hapoy you finally got it. Ive been watching your channel for a while and i love what you do, keep up the amazing work my friend. Oh and also, I kinda wish Dodge would get some licensing rights to the Bullitt movie too. Then they could make a Bullitt edition Charger. I think it would be quite interesting to see and they would look handsome paired up together.
matt great review , the gt with pp2 is currently at one thousand dollars less with the same eqipment.so basically the bullitt is a 7 thousand dollar trim package with $3700 in options a great deal if your wanting that vehicle . the pp2 on the gt gives you better tires for the track while the bullitt gives you the 20 extra hp very comparable in performance in my opinion both the gt and the bullitt are worth the price. hard to find a new vehicle with that kind of performance and style $51000
I have an 08 bullitt and absolutely love it and I have been debating on betting a new one... but 20k more than I payed for mine new and 10 years newer is crazy...
I still don't understand the hate about the new front end? I think they look better. It looks more like a GT350 front end, which I thought everyone loved? lol
MoeUknow Idk i park my 18 next to a 14 at work and it makes the 14 look super old in comparison and ive heard that from quite a few as well. Its all subjective
As I have said many times before I love that dark highland green color even on the cloudy day in this video. I knew that you would make this soon enough after delivery. Thanks Matt for pointing out all the differences. #BULLITT #DreamCar
Matt, there are certain pieces that are unique only to the Bullitt. Before the life cycle is over for this generation Mustang I recommend you stock up on the parts. That's only if you plan on keeping this vehicle until the wheels fall off
Great job! Similar videos need to be done with the 2001 and 2008. Also, owning a 2001, I can tell you all those unique pieces to the car will be expensive to replace in 17 years!
50th anniversary GT had the chrome trim too (the one where they only made 1964) No offense but you know they'd discount regular GTs $4-5k with the same options but I'm sure the resale is much better so it's relative I guess
...also, the Ricaro seats would probable last longer than those free heated/cool seats. If you plan on holding onto that car as long as you claim, that's just more problems you'll have finding repair parts later on down the road. Just my thoughts... I have the heated/cooled seats in my 2018 RAM 3500 dually and that's a concern of my considering those trucks last so long.
ill be buying a 16-17 GT350 from an auction crashed, do you know if a V6 or a V8 mustang has the same shell and reinforcement as a GT350 shell? im thinking might be easier to swap everything from GT350 onto a V6 non crashed shell?
Pretty sure the whole front end of the GT350 is unique from the a-pillar forward. I think they lowered the reinforcements and pulled them out a tad. Hood, fenders, bumpers are all lower too.
Matt Maran Motoring yea the exterior is obvious I was thinking about shell and reinforcement and subframe etc... will prob just try getting one not badly damaged to have less headaches when rebuilding lol
Travis James yea but also trans and all the drivetrain and suspension is different, I was thinking if but rolled GT350 and slightly hit V6 and swap it all
Love the clean lines, no spoiler, no badges, open spoke wheels... What is the word, limited run or will we be able to buy/order later into the season? Thanks for the video!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. The dash would look awesome had the speedometer and tach been analog. With the engine turned off the digital panel looks ugly, in my opinion.
would be cool to see a drag race of all the top reviewer's cars! saabkyle's viper, sofyan's cayman gts, matt's bullitt! thatdudeinblue's mustang etc etc
The Bullit is also a bit heavier than a GT. The GT350 intake and cold air filter with tune is the Ford Performance stage 3 upgrade that can be added to any GT. But the Stage 2 adds more torque.
Thanks for all the videos Matt. Awaiting delivery of mine; equipped exactly as yours. First car I ever bought (1975) was a 1968 Mustang, so its fitting to get this Bullitt 50 years later. Noticed you had something plugged in with the cord going from the center stack to the passenger side front corner dash.....radar detector? Gopro?
Looks great - I wish they offered the "Bullitt" package in more colors.........Not a fan of Green color. Whats up with the rust in the undercarriage shot?
Hey Matt, congratulations to this fabulous Bullit from Germany! BUT what about this horrible corrosion underneath the right sill of the vehicle (as shown in the clip from 5:40 up to 5:44)?!? Greetings Günter
One thing you didn’t touch was where the engine was made,Windsor Essex Engine Plant. This is important because how it was made. Not only the air intake system from the gt350 but also made with Die cast aluminum block and head with plasma transfer wire arc cylinder liners. That’s copy and paste sorry but yes that too. Your thoughts, btw the green is nice and per movie but I brought the black.
Matt , I wonder why the BULLITT doesn"t come with different floor mats . Seems like the floor mats would have BULLITT on them . I bought mine 9-15-18 and I guess I expected the floor mats to be different .
Matt you should dyno the bullitt & get a base line, I’m curious to see what the difference is with the 3rd gen coyote & gt350 mani over the stock 18gt mani.
I just bought a 2019 Mustang bullet from carvana or at least I thought I did. I'm just now learning that they only came in green or black and mine is some kind of like ruby red. Was it possible to get it in another color?
In England we have little less power sadly but than everything else come’s standard so all the packages and other add on’s are full out apart from we go to choose the colour and that’s about it
Hi Matt. I think I remember you saying you're in western PA. What do you do with your mustang in the winter? I'm in eastern Ohio and am considering a mustang but don't know if I need a winter beater for snow or if snow tires on the mustang will suffice. Thanks!
With my past Mustangs I've ran snow tires and been fine as long as I wasn't going up steep hills covered in snow. For the Bullitt, I won't be driving it unless it's over 40 degrees. I get press cars pretty often and will drive those during the winter along with sharing the wife's car.
Happy for you man, you got like 4 mustangs In the past few years. Lol. I love how the car looks but dude 51 K for a ford that looks almost the same as any 2018. Changes on it are cool but noone really gonna notice it unless start pointing out to people. The bullit is a rare car but if it's a rare car doesnt mean it will be so expensive with time. Many companies try to make people buy their rare cars and owners got stuck with cars that depreciated in few years with no excitement from anyone to buy them
I bought the car for me to enjoy, not to get attention from others or to sell it to someone else for a profit. The reason I like the Bullitt is that it doesn't get attention from people unless you know what it is. Otherwise it's flies under the radar which is what I like to do.
Matt Maran Motoring that makes sense :) hope you enjoy it. Been a fan of yours for a long time! Keep doing the amazing work and thank you for the reply!
Hi Matt, what's this break in period you are doing for your car? Do you do this for all performance style cars? What does the break in involve? Thanks.
I'm just following the owner's manual. Every car's procedure is different. For the Mustang it says "try not to drive too fast for the first 1,000 miles and change up through the gears early. Avoid keeping the car at a constant speed and don't labor the engine." So basically, no redlining and no cruise control.
I've been shopping for a 2019 Mustang GT Premium. I really like the ruby red. I think on the ford build and price if you get the 401A package, 10 speed auto, PP1, Active Exhaust, MagnaRide you'll probably be paying 55k out the door. I'm in Chicago and all the Bullitt cars I've seen listed would probably be a little more than that. I agree if you want a car with those 350GT add ons and manual trans added hp, it's a deal. I'm not sold on how the car looks, but that is me. The green color is phenomenal just something about the car's shape looks bland to me. I'm sure it's a blast to drive.
Congratulations on getting your dream car I remember when this was all rumor cool to see you having it exactly how you want it.
100th like
This is a car best kept 100% stock.. my opinion. Its iconic.
because ur a beta male
Agreed, at the most exhaust. Maybe ship wheels out to get widened, at the most.
@Brian Scholl what movie?
DELL0015 BULLIT, Steve McQueen.
Its not a shelbygt500 though!

Really enjoy your Channel Matt, especially when you do vids on Mustangs. We have 2, a 2005 GT Coupe, and a 1968 Coupe. From New Zealand.
5 years late here, you nailed it , very few people review the bullitt as accurately as you did.
The only drawback with the Bullitt is the fact that Ford could and should have put in the Tremec 6 speed. My 2020 Mustang GT Convertible 10R80 has passed many a Bullitt. I installed the Ford Performance Cold air intake kit with Procal 4 tune, which makes up for the difference in HP. I have 480 hp, plus an additional 20 lbs of torque.

Heck yes, another Bullitt video! Dark Highland green looks so good!
I don't understand why Ford doesn't offer Recaros with power and comfort options. My CTS-V came with the $1,600 optional 16-way Recaros which are heated and cooled. There is NO reason Ford can't offer something similar.
Dakota LaFrance my 1SS 1LE camaro has electric Recaro seats
Recaros = RACE CAR VROOOM. Weight saving man.
Cause original racing seats arent power ajustable.
Because it’s true to weight saving. What’s the point of performance seats that weigh the same as comfort seats? Even Mercedes doesn’t have ventilated seats
its a beauty ! cant wait to hear a full on review once its broken in...the bulitt looks Soooo damn tasteful ,clean and understated in its looks...whoever designed it deserves a pat on the back
I can't wait for the first Real Drive when your able to give er hell. I can't wait to see and hear your reaction. Love the channel Matt Maran, keep up the amazing work.
Hi Matt. Nice vid. Liked before watching because I knew it was going to be good
Hey Matt, given the 2018's were underrated (dynoing around 480-490), I bet the Bullitt may be close to or over 500hp. Hope you dyno it after break in! Edit: $51K for all that goodness is a great deal. Anyone who says otherwise, doesn't understand the power and coolness per dollar!
I definitely want to find a good dyno soon and see what it makes! Hope your GT350 is continuing to treat you well!
They make 490 with simple bolt on mods lol. Not out the box. The bullit night with the gt350 mani and tune though
51k is a shit ton of money for a paint and 2 different badges. You can get the GT with everything the bullitt edition has with the PP. might as well get the GT500 for a little more.
Really enjoyed this video Matt Maran. Thanks for doing it. Loved to see the differences. The Bullit has always been one of my favorite Mustangs. I'm also a big fan of the Cobra R, The Terminator and most of all Roush Mustangs.
Your Bullitt is nice Matt! Thanks for the clarification on the differences, helps out on my 2016 mustang GT Build!
I really like that you follow break in procedures! I have always done so myself. Nice to see someone trying to take care of there investment. Love the car man! I have a 2001 Bullitt myself.
this isn't my kind of car but I'm glad Matt is so happy with it and so passionate about it
Hey Matt, picking my Bullitt up in a few days, first Mustang too, your vids are great, but want to start listening to my own engine on the overrun; no offense. Anyway, great vids, thanks for the ear candy. I'm with you, if it looks and sounds right, you don't need stripes, spoilers and badges.
That's one thing I love about the EcoBoost models and Bullitt better.. no fender badges!! So much cleaner :) Great looking car man!!
Nice! It’s cool You were able to get an early production car. Thanks for the details, keep up the good work.
Congrats on the new car Matt!
I think they did a nice job throwing it back to the original Bullitt car's styling details
I love you passion for the car!! Maybe 20 years from now we will see a similar blog on you car!
Wow, I've never been a mustang guy but after seeing the 2019 Camaro I've been looking at mustang more and boy am I impressed with this bullit.
VVOUX Bulitt.
LOVE that car, I am not super fond of the S550, although they still are cool cars, but that one is sexy af. I wish they would have made some later model S197 Bullitt after the 2008 one. Keep up the content, thanks Matt!
Your BULLITT is such a badass car!
But he needs to install a aftermarket exhaust
Bob The I think it sounds just fine, no need to be a cop magnet or a immature kid
Bob The Haha I was just telling myself that the stock exhaust already looks and sounds like an aftermarket one. No need to change anything IMO
Country Road u mean an immature adult
except for the optional scratch that came with the car when he bought it new
Very cool. Love, love the color. Wheels look good on the car.
Not crazy about the big bullitt badge on the back. Like the stealth look.
Love the green stitching 🤗🏁!!
Amazing car Matt!! The only thing that dissapointed me is that they green stitched the freakin' floormats but didn't do the steering wheel or e-brake boot. Seems kinda odd and lazy to me, the steering wheel is the main piece of the interior, it would look so good in green stitch. Good choice getting the non - Recaro seats as well! Can't wait for the full review and first redline pull :D
I love the way Matt always says in his videos how the stock seats are "free" when compared to the Recaros. No Matt, they're not free, you're still paying for them!
Hey Matt, thanks for the insight into differences, very interesting. I'm old enough to have seen the movie "Bullitt" at theaters when it came out. Well. as much as I like the original Stang, I like yours better. FYI, I left a comment in Sofyan's page asking both of you to make a video testing out each other's new cars. Would be fun.
Beautiful car man, very hapoy you finally got it. Ive been watching your channel for a while and i love what you do, keep up the amazing work my friend. Oh and also, I kinda wish Dodge would get some licensing rights to the Bullitt movie too. Then they could make a Bullitt edition Charger. I think it would be quite interesting to see and they would look handsome paired up together.
Congratulations on your new Mustang!!
matt great review , the gt with pp2 is currently at one thousand dollars less with the same eqipment.so basically the bullitt is a 7 thousand dollar trim package with $3700 in options a great deal if your wanting that vehicle . the pp2 on the gt gives you better tires for the track while the bullitt gives you the 20 extra hp very comparable in performance in my opinion both the gt and the bullitt are worth the price. hard to find a new vehicle with that kind of performance and style $51000
I have an 08 bullitt and absolutely love it and I have been debating on betting a new one... but 20k more than I payed for mine new and 10 years newer is crazy...
I still don't understand the hate about the new front end? I think they look better. It looks more like a GT350 front end, which I thought everyone loved? lol
Transfiguration I like the new ones more too, more agressive
Yeah, I've been back and forth about them
MoeUknow Idk i park my 18 next to a 14 at work and it makes the 14 look super old in comparison and ive heard that from quite a few as well. Its all subjective
Transfiguration same here bro...
Matt how many miles do you have on your bullitt now? I have about 300 on mine. What is going to be your first performance mod if any?
Awesome video Matt!
Gorgeous car Matt and excellent video!
I love that The Bullit is also available in black. I'd love to see you get a side by side video with a black Bullit. That would be awesome.
As I have said many times before I love that dark highland green color even on the cloudy day in this video. I knew that you would make this soon enough after delivery. Thanks Matt for pointing out all the differences. #BULLITT #DreamCar
Congratulations Matt!
Well done Matt love the color ENJOY, I know you will . I always look foreword to your videos.
The difference . When you buy a bullit it comes with a complimentary scratch 😊. Kidding
Rev To Redline lmao!
Matt, there are certain pieces that are unique only to the Bullitt. Before the life cycle is over for this generation Mustang I recommend you stock up on the parts. That's only if you plan on keeping this vehicle until the wheels fall off
Yeah I plan to buy lots of new old stock parts for this car eventually. Especially the electronic components.
Hey Matt congrats and great video my man
Wow your car is amazing. No mods required at all on this Mustang. Ford got it exactly right! 👍
Happy 1 year!! Still thumbs up for a Bullitt?
REALLY BEAUTIFUL CAR MATT
Great overview, Matt. Makes me want to 86 the challenger.
i really love this car enjoy it Matt 👍
Great job! Similar videos need to be done with the 2001 and 2008. Also, owning a 2001, I can tell you all those unique pieces to the car will be expensive to replace in 17 years!
He should buy the unique parts now then to save money
Good thing you are babying it YDBT just blew his shift forks at only 600 miles :/
Great video breaking down the differences.
Great revue Matt
50th anniversary GT had the chrome trim too (the one where they only made 1964)
No offense but you know they'd discount regular GTs $4-5k with the same options but I'm sure the resale is much better so it's relative I guess
Looks awesome Matt!
I see a bunch of fun drives in your future. Since owning the car how often did you watch the movie?
You need to discuss the investment difference between any car but also the GT. What do classic mustangs go for today? Why buy a GT?
...also, the Ricaro seats would probable last longer than those free heated/cool seats. If you plan on holding onto that car as long as you claim, that's just more problems you'll have finding repair parts later on down the road. Just my thoughts... I have the heated/cooled seats in my 2018 RAM 3500 dually and that's a concern of my considering those trucks last so long.
Next video: Why am I planning to sell my bullet for upcoming GT500 which I will keep it forever!!
Nope, zero interest in the GT500.
I hear you man!!..Not everything has to be about performance and money. I got a stage 2 golf r and would rather keep that forever over any supercars.
ill be buying a 16-17 GT350 from an auction crashed, do you know if a V6 or a V8 mustang has the same shell and reinforcement as a GT350 shell? im thinking might be easier to swap everything from GT350 onto a V6 non crashed shell?
Pretty sure the whole front end of the GT350 is unique from the a-pillar forward. I think they lowered the reinforcements and pulled them out a tad. Hood, fenders, bumpers are all lower too.
That will be quite difficult. you’re probably better off buying a 5.2 block from ford racing to put in a wrecked GT
Matt Maran Motoring yea the exterior is obvious I was thinking about shell and reinforcement and subframe etc... will prob just try getting one not badly damaged to have less headaches when rebuilding lol
Travis James yea but also trans and all the drivetrain and suspension is different, I was thinking if but rolled GT350 and slightly hit V6 and swap it all
Great Video Matt
Love the clean lines, no spoiler, no badges, open spoke wheels... What is the word, limited run or will we be able to buy/order later into the season? Thanks for the video!
Components are limited but the car isn’t. Will be built for 2 years.
Thanks, Matt. That takes the pressure off having to make an immediate decision. Love the car!
Beautiful car, Matt!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. The dash would look awesome had the speedometer and tach been analog. With the engine turned off the digital panel looks ugly, in my opinion.
would be cool to see a drag race of all the top reviewer's cars! saabkyle's viper, sofyan's cayman gts, matt's bullitt! thatdudeinblue's mustang etc etc
The Bullit is also a bit heavier than a GT. The GT350 intake and cold air filter with tune is the Ford Performance stage 3 upgrade that can be added to any GT. But the Stage 2 adds more torque.
Big fan of the channel. Sorry you had to sell it. Do you happen to know what the ground clearance was? Above or below 5 inches? 🙏
Thanks for all the videos Matt. Awaiting delivery of mine; equipped exactly as yours. First car I ever bought (1975) was a 1968 Mustang, so its fitting to get this Bullitt 50 years later. Noticed you had something plugged in with the cord going from the center stack to the passenger side front corner dash.....radar detector? Gopro?
Congrats on your order! Hope it comes soon! The cord was going to the dash cam I have on the windshield.
Sounds better to my ears than the regular Mustang GT. And man I wish the regular GT could take that sweet CAI (without a warranty removing tune).
Looks great - I wish they offered the "Bullitt" package in more colors.........Not a fan of Green color. Whats up with the rust in the undercarriage shot?
Great videos!! You helped me decide. A Bullitt is in my near future :)
Hey Matt,
congratulations to this fabulous Bullit from Germany!
BUT what about this horrible corrosion underneath the right sill of the vehicle (as shown in the clip from 5:40 up to 5:44)?!?
Greetings
Günter
I see rust at 5:48 in the top left of the screen, but that is the bottom of the lift.
One thing you didn’t touch was where the engine was made,Windsor Essex Engine Plant. This is important because how it was made. Not only the air intake system from the gt350 but also made with Die cast aluminum block and head with plasma transfer wire arc cylinder liners. That’s copy and paste sorry but yes that too.

Matt , I wonder why the BULLITT doesn"t come with different floor mats . Seems like the floor mats would have BULLITT on them . I bought mine 9-15-18 and I guess I expected the floor mats to be different .
At 4:48, this looks exactly like an older Aston Martin Vantage or DB9(I can’t remember which one)..I love it
Can't wait for the first hard pull reaction video in the review :D
I never saw the movie, so the tie-in doesn't ring a bell with me, but damn, it's a nice looking Mustang.
Matt you should dyno the bullitt & get a base line, I’m curious to see what the difference is with the 3rd gen coyote & gt350 mani over the stock 18gt mani.
I think the best part is it doesn't have all the flare that some mustang owners love.
Can you do a video on the Performance Shift Indicator? Show all the different modes setup etc. there’s nothing out there that I can find! Thanks!!
I have way more fun in this car then in my 911 4s - 991.2. This is a great car.
I just bought a 2019 Mustang bullet from carvana or at least I thought I did. I'm just now learning that they only came in green or black and mine is some kind of like ruby red. Was it possible to get it in another color?
Green stitching is a nice touch
In England we have little less power sadly but than everything else come’s standard so all the packages and other add on’s are full out apart from we go to choose the colour and that’s about it
Hi Matt. I think I remember you saying you're in western PA. What do you do with your mustang in the winter? I'm in eastern Ohio and am considering a mustang but don't know if I need a winter beater for snow or if snow tires on the mustang will suffice. Thanks!
With my past Mustangs I've ran snow tires and been fine as long as I wasn't going up steep hills covered in snow. For the Bullitt, I won't be driving it unless it's over 40 degrees. I get press cars pretty often and will drive those during the winter along with sharing the wife's car.
Happy for you man, you got like 4 mustangs In the past few years. Lol. I love how the car looks but dude 51 K for a ford that looks almost the same as any 2018. Changes on it are cool but noone really gonna notice it unless start pointing out to people. The bullit is a rare car but if it's a rare car doesnt mean it will be so expensive with time. Many companies try to make people buy their rare cars and owners got stuck with cars that depreciated in few years with no excitement from anyone to buy them
I bought the car for me to enjoy, not to get attention from others or to sell it to someone else for a profit. The reason I like the Bullitt is that it doesn't get attention from people unless you know what it is. Otherwise it's flies under the radar which is what I like to do.
Matt Maran Motoring that makes sense :) hope you enjoy it. Been a fan of yours for a long time! Keep doing the amazing work and thank you for the reply!
Love the physical E brake! Sadly, the last 3 manuals I have purchased, all have the button. Golf R. Chevy SS. Cayman GT4.
We appreciate you MATT MARAN! Have your wife do a ride along and ask her what does she think of the car!
Cool idea, thanks! I'll have to try to incorporate that in a future video!
I wonder if the green interior stitching comes with the shadow black bulitt mustangs.
For $51k... gotta go GT350
ak2112 no question
At 51k you're getting a used GT350 that's been beaten on by somebody else for the past 2 years.
ak2112 350R
$55k Dodge Challenger Hellcat
ak2112 I agree 100%, I got my gt350 brand new for $52,900. Way better car in every single way
Hi Matt, what's this break in period you are doing for your car? Do you do this for all performance style cars? What does the break in involve? Thanks.
I'm just following the owner's manual. Every car's procedure is different. For the Mustang it says "try not to drive too fast for the first 1,000 miles and change up through the gears early. Avoid keeping the car at a constant speed and don't labor the engine." So basically, no redlining and no cruise control.
Just a guess, but the gt350 intake may be causing that crackle and pop. When I installed a gt350 intake on my gt, I noticed more crackle and pop.
The problem with this car is that I would drive it like Steve McQueen drove in the movie and I would end up in jail. LOL
Like the chrome around the window
The Ricaro seats beside the issues electrical and heated or cool option. Would you guys get them or not for 6"1" Hight and 210 weight??
I've been shopping for a 2019 Mustang GT Premium. I really like the ruby red. I think on the ford build and price if you get the 401A package, 10 speed auto, PP1, Active Exhaust, MagnaRide you'll probably be paying 55k out the door. I'm in Chicago and all the Bullitt cars I've seen listed would probably be a little more than that. I agree if you want a car with those 350GT add ons and manual trans added hp, it's a deal. I'm not sold on how the car looks, but that is me. The green color is phenomenal just something about the car's shape looks bland to me. I'm sure it's a blast to drive.
