I originally posted this question on tech by mistake this morning. The '08-'09 Bullitt sure seems appealing and a clean low mileage one can be had here in the NY Metro area for between $24-$26k. After driving 5.0 foxes from 1895-2008 am I better of going for the additional $10k and getting a '11 5.0? The Bullitt seems like such an all around good car but will I miss the 5.0 litre grunt?
Buy the Bullitt - I agree with Ken04...I really do not like the new rear end /tail ights (no one does) ....but w/add-on's you can make that Bullitt a killer ride - I would hack off the rear button/get a new rear valance cover and get rid of those black rims....but overall if you can find a low mileaged one - steal it - tell the dealer everyone is now after the new 5.0.

i beg to differ. everytime i hear of someone that doesn't like the looks of the 10+ cars they've turned out to be a 05-09 owner consistently across the board. the new taillights are incredibly classy and i wouldn't change a thing about them. the 05-09's on the other hand, are boring in comparison aesthetically.
i think ya got your figures backwards. the new 5.0 is worth an extra 10 grand on the bullitt.
....WRONG!
Put your 'crack' pipe down for a minute - and listen up......
The new tail lights are classy???- yeah if you own a Honda you are probably right - to 'rice burner' for my tastes -
As a 2007 gt Owner ....I do like the 10's aggresive front + side styling - even the stock rims and the better interior - ford just screwed themselves with not running the overall design by any mustang clubs etc.....remember it was some big secret..... just glimpses of parts ????....well some 1/2 of a F*g thought the rear tail-lights and big button would be interesting in some ford design studio somewhere and now they have a goofy looking rear end -they F'd up...and now I have my ford dealer calling me all the time to come in and LQQk at the '10/'11 - I was even considering getting my wife one - but I complained so much about the rear end - she said she would not even consider it....because it's dumb dude...not my fault -and it's not yours ... if your going to get one - get a roush one - the rims are better and they have a better overall design.....

Mad guitar - sorry for the typo - it was a 1985 GT. Gearbanger - I agree with you about the 100 + hp & the six speed, I like the headlights & the hood of the '11. The bullitt came with 3:73's and sport suspension std. , and the brakes are upgraded from the GT. As far as the interior, anything '05 & up is worlds better than the foxes that I owned. I'm thinking that the Bullitt's 13.8 1/4 mile, good handling & decent brakes would make for a real fun/comfortable street car for 10K less. I went to Carlisle today and there were only 3 -5.0 '11 cars in the show field & the owner's weren't around to talk to but I spoke to one guy who with a '09 who has a 5.0 '11 car on order & he's real excited about it. There were eight '08-'09 bullitts there, I spoke with six of them, two were former Chevy guys/Ford haters - they love their Bullitt's. Spoke to a Mopar guy who bought an '05 GT new, he's trading it in with 80k on it in 2 weeks for a new Challenger. He said the '05 GT is the best car he ever owned and the only Ford. I asked him how come he didn't go for the 5.0 '11? Said he wasn't crazy about the styling & he had owned a '70 Challenger & loved it - so he was happy to be able to buy a Mopar performance car again. Hope for his sake that the Challenger can measure up to the Ford quality. Thanks again for all your input, I'm not in a hurry to make up my mind but I am itchin' to get back in a Stang!
2011 all day long. In fact, I'm glad they changed the backend for 2011... looks better.. and I've never smoked crack in my life!
