The best looking Mustang yet, but at a price too dear

Performance

Ford claims the Ford Racing engine enhancements’ beefier torque curve and shorter final drive make for harder launches and a better top end. While we didn’t have a standard Mustang GT to compare it against, the Bullitt has no problem pulling hard from a dead stop with a glorious V-8 roar, and we noticed no letup in power deliver as the engine approached redline. The five-speed shifter is solid, maybe a little too stiff, but with a smooth and progressive clutch. It’s the kind of powertrain that brings out your inner delinquent, and it’s hard to resist the urge to turn rubber to smoke at every opportunity.
