    new bullitt owner

    I didn't notice any difference between this and a standard GT when driving it. The bullitt exhaust is quieter, to the point of not knowing its on when the car is running. My other comparison is to my mach 1, and the bullitt is slower, doesn't stop as well, and handles poorly. The shaker audio...

    Sold the Mustang, got a sports car.

    I thought you were buying a sports car? :shrug: j/k:p

    Chamois...

    I use a 25"x25" waffle weave microfiber towel to dry. I used to have an absorber but it doesn't have any nap to pick up any spots that may have been missed.

    No shine after rain

    A high quality paint sealant should last longer. I used Klasse all in one and Sealant Glaze on my '91 which has single stage paint. It would look freshly washed after a rain. I now use Griot's paint sealant on my Mach 1. It seems to hold up even better and its much easier to use.

    Bullitt Seats INSTALLED!

    Bullitt, Mach 1, and Cobra seats all have similar bolstering. The sizing is a bit different for each but all are much more supportive then GT seats. Bullitt seats are all charcoal. Mach 1 seats have a silver stripe.

    Should an '04 Mach 1's brakes hiss when stopping hard?

    That is still not a 4 wheel alignment because there is nothing adjustable in the rear to change the alignment. Any proper alignment also measures the rear wheels. The alignment rack I am familiar with uses 4 reflectors that the laser reads. The computer then gives the readings of all four...

    Found Replacement Speakers for Mach 460

    I have pictures that I'll try and upload later of the stock speakers. No aftermarket speaker of comparable size is going to produce the bass that these do. They are built like subwoofers, the surround extends to the cone about 1" vs an aftermarket midrage/midbass that only has 1/2". These...

    Found Replacement Speakers for Mach 460

    I am studying the mach 460 sound system for better replacement while keeping things as stock looking as possible. The 6x8 woofers are 8 ohm wired for 4 ohm load. JL audio makes an 8 ohm 6.5" subwoofer with little more than a 4" mounting depth. It will handle the same frequencies as stock up...

    My 2009 Bullitt Test Drive

    To those that have driven Mach 1's what S197 Mustang has equal or greater performance? I'd like to know what I should look into. I really like the new style, I just need to know where to start looking.

    My 2009 Bullitt Test Drive

    My first comparison was a 2001 GT to my 91 GT. I thought the 01 felt slower and heavier, no low end torque. I thought the same about an 06 I tested before I picked the Mach 1. However I would agree the s197 is a better chassis, and the interior is nicer, but it seems lacking in every other...

    My 2009 Bullitt Test Drive

    I dunno if I'd pay for one even with my x plan. It just doesn't seem worth it. Every s197 I have been in was disappointing. I really wanted to like it and was ready to buy. The handling of the 09 bullitt is no where close to the 01's. I think if they sold these at 26k it would be more...

    My 2009 Bullitt Test Drive

    I posted this on Mach 1 registry, I want to get opinions from here too. Not putting anything down here, this is just what I found. I'll start with this its a great car. The leather is really nice, vat dyed not spray dyed like a mach 1's. I like the steering wheel, again nice leather. Build...

    Check this out!

    At the current exhange rate 1 ounce of gold is $898. If they put 40 lbs of gold on the car thats worth $575,000. Asuming the gold is pure.

    Headliner noise?

    I'm adding some dynamat right now, I thought I had all the headliner fasteners off, how does it come down? I expected it to drop, is seems like there is something securing the board to the roof twards the back in the middle? :shrug: Edit: I figured it out, it was glued to the roof. Also I...

    Battle over cheap exhaust

    I have the Stainless Steel Systems catback. Its very similar to the borla stinger design but its under $400 and its fully polished stainless steel. Alot of mach 1 guys run them as a better cheaper alternative.
