I got a chance to drive a Bullit last night. I didnt get all on the throttle like I do on my car, and I shifted just after 5000 (The guy really baby's his car, so I drove it like he does at the track)

One thing I will say is...THE SEATS ARE AWESOME. I love those seats. I want a set. You just fit in them like your part of the car..Its awesome. Love the shift knob and handle also (Stock Shifter though Sucks AZZ).

The Brakes are the second thing I noticed, They are much more responsive, and confident (Although there isnt much wrong with a basic GT's Brakes).

Third thing is Handling..The car handles very nicely. Sure footed thats for sure. Nice suspension for twisties..Sucks for Drag Racing.

One thing I didnt notice, although I didnt get on the car real Hard, or launch hard, is the added performance. There supposed to have a substantial amount more bottom end than the basic GT...Arent they?????

I know my car isnt stock like the Bullit I drove last night, but still, my car feels like it has alot...ALOT more Motor in it. All through the RPM's. NO offense to the Bullit, its a beautifull, Cool Car. But my car just felt explosive compared to it.

Oh, I love the clutch in it Also. It feels great, and grabs real good. Its a Ford Motor Sport Clutch aint it??? Sure felt nice. Not mushy like my pedal.

THEN I DROVE TIM C's CAR! A 35th Special ed, Aniv GT. Which in the handling department is the exact opposite of the Bullit. He gave me permission to stand on the gas a little (I didnt drive it like I do my car though. I only rang his up to 5500, and granny shifted..I'm not use to the gear)

The Supension was awesome for a diffrent reason, it squatted in the rear, rose in the front, and just Plain Went. The headers sound awesome....Especially IN the car. Between shifts it gets this cool Blow Off Valve like sound coming from the H (No, no exhaust leaks).

One thing I noticed is my car still felt like it has a little more bottom End than his, not withstanding the Gear though.
