In black, not green. We just got back from buying it, so we haven’t had much chance to play with it. We’ll take it out tomorrow for a bit.
Interesting, because I just had sex with four wheels
Did I say that out loud?
Nice! I’m not a big fan of the newer Mustangs, but the Bullitt is pretty tough.
Nice. Very nice.
Loved that car. The movie, not as much.
Just remember to break the car in properly before you go stomping that accelerator. 
I haven’t seen one yet. Are they all fastbacks, as in the movie Bullitt?
OK, you must do this. Drive into a parking garage. Roll down the windows and listen to the exhaust.
I heard that the program manager for the GT and the Bullet gave each of the guys working on the exhaust a DVD of the movie and told them he wanted the car to sound like that.
It does.
You bought a headlight and some shadows?
Were the four wheels on a picnic table?
Yes, it does indeed. I think I read they spent $10 million making those cars sound just like the one in the movie.
Sorry, the Mustang is a Junior High School Girl’s Car.
Eight Cylinder had a speedometer that went to 120.
Six Cylinder had a speedometer that went to 180.
Hmm, the 2008 version has a smaller engine with less horsepower than the cars used in the signature movie. This is progress? :dubious:
Seriously, I’m sure its a kick-ass vehicle, as witnessed by the manual transmission, as God intended. Congrats on the new toy. I still miss my 88’ 5.0 20 years later. Have fun!
It growls, though. And it has ambient lights. And it’s very pretty.
I stalled it once yesterday during the test drive. It’s been over ten years since I’ve driven a stick regularly, and I need to find some nice quiet streets to get back into the swing of things.
A car with that engine and a manual is going to be pretty grumpy on the clutch. There’ll be a sweet spot, but I’d bet the car is going to want to peel rubber or die every time you take off from a stop sign.
I don’t know if you’re a Car Talk fan, but Click and Clack Tappitt say that if you never stall your manual car, you’re not doing it right. In talking about teaching someone to drive a stick, they say not to let the student touch the accelerator for the first half hour of puttering around a big, empty parking lot.
I must confess, that’s not the way I drove when I had my last stick car about 20 years ago.
Horsepower figures from that era are very misleading. They basically stripped the engine of all it’s accessories (including things like the transmission) and ran it wide open to get the ratings. Horsepower measured at the wheels (as it now is), was significantly lower.
DA, I just hope the gas bill doesn’t overtake the car payment. (Cars like that are meant to tear around in.)
Very pretty!
No decent hills in F.W., ya’ got to take her to S.F. for a real test drive. 
The custom manual gearbox sounds pretty awesome. And if you’re going to go quickly in it the uprated brakes are probably going to come in very handy.
I was extremely amused by this little tidbit, though…
The live axle is unique because everyone else stopped using them in about 1990- but if you didn’t know anything about cars, you could be forgiven for thinking that a live axle is a good thing, based on the blurbs.
I thought the thread was about having sex with a wheelchair bound prostitute.
What a disappointment.
