How Fast Are the 2000 Mustang Bulliett

[baby2000]

Hi, i am going to be racing one tonight that is stock and it is a convertable automatic. Does anybody know how faster they are. Right now i think that i am running a 14.00 in the quarter. Is that good enough to beat this guy. Becasue i know that the guy is going want to bet on the race. PLease let me ASAP

First thing, their isnt a convert Bullit. They are all coupes. They run 13.7s to 13.9 stock. If the car you race is a 'vert with an automatic, it will go in the 14.50ish range. You should take him. Good luck and let us know how you do.

I think that the guy just put the wheels on it ofr looks, but it looks like a GT and it had the GT emblems on it.

And they aren't 2000's ...

Sounds like somebody got those Thurstmaster or whatever they're called wheels and thinks he has a Bullit.

Real Bullit's have a "Bullit" badge on the driver's-side underneath the taillight, an aluminum gas cap and snazzy red brake calipers with a little white horse on each caliper.

plus, i think they ONLY come in that dark hunter green. but i heard rumors that they were available in some dark blue as well. wouldn't make sense, because the ****stang in the movie was the green.....

Well, I have to disagree with you Hotrod, when we went to the track I saw one that was running mid to low 14's and he seemed to driving it pretty decent. I smoked his @$$ with a 14.2 in my girlfriends car(2001 GT). I could be wrong about his driving because all I could see was his take off and it was pretty good but, shifting is a whole different story, he might not be able to shift very fast.

I have to chime in here...since i have my own lil stang.... I raced a silver 2000 or might of been a 99 in my 96 GT i do know his was also an AUTO. and my stang runs14.8 with nothing more then flow masters and an Offroad Hpipe on a goo day. But I beat this guy by half a car and once we hit about 100 i started to pull even more.(back in the really stupid days when i pulled that racing over 100mph ****.) but point is I think the new stangs are tempermental....nd it depends on which one you get .... Ive seen a new stang run 15.0 in 85oF and the same day a different one simliar mods(filter catback) run 14.5 . im alil confused
my plan, feed it the air...that lil motor needs to get a fat blower shoved down its throat

Heres a little lesson in drag racing. Never let the other guy know how fast your car is. If this is a street race tell the other guy that your truck is a 15.50 ride and that he needs to give you something to make to make it interesting. Tell him you need 2 car lenths and the break. This means that from a dead start he lets you pull up two car lenths and the race starts the instant you take off. this gives you at least .5 to a second head start. If at the track set it up by telling the tower to stagger the bulbs by 2 to 5 tenths and nail a good reaction. This should also give you the advantage. Good luck.

Well i have not come across a stock looking stang that hung with me on the street yet, and have the time slips to back up three stang kills in the 1/8th.
I know it will come and i will admitt the loss when it happens but till then im out to get em.
That is till 2003 then i might be driving one.

Bullitt

The Bullitt Mustang actually came in three different colors, the highland green, the blue and black. I've never seen a blue one but theres a green one and a black one locally. I thought they all should have been highland green, the color of the one in the movie

didn't know they came in black....i've seen the green and blue in person. i agree, green should've been the ONLY color....

Or maybe silver and you get a discount on Coors Light ...

Here's a link to an article that'll help explain about the bullitt.

Also those style wheels are on the 2001-02 GT's, too.

 

[LightningkillerRT]

"Still, with just 200 miles on the clock, we got a 5.6-sec 0-60-mph time, just 0.2 sec slower than the '99 GT's. The Bullitt gets through the quarter in 14.07 sec at 97.9 mph, versus 14 flat and 100.2 mph. " --MotorTrend


HMMMM... great deal for 3000 more$

Bullitts also have Cobra brakes and a better suspension than the GT. Some people aren't concerned with just straight-line performance.

Blue Bullitt, green Bullitt.

 

[LightningkillerRT]

It beat the GT in 60-0-mph braking by nearly a foot, and its slalom speed of 63.4 mph plants it firmly between the stock GT (63 mph flat) and the Roush Mustang we tested for our June '01 issue (63.8 mph).

Should you consider it over a standard Mustang GT? At $27,300, the Bullitt carries a $3695 premium. The retro/modern wheels (which look so good that Ford now offers them as an option on the GT) and the minor body and interior mods account for maybe half that difference.



$3695 for Wheels, brakes, and Supen.

Some people arent worried about blowing money on HYPE

Motor Trend couldn't drive a car to save their own life. Go to some of the mustang boards on the net to get some actual times for the Bullitt. They are 13sec cars as well as the GT's are, too.

Yeah, big deal if you live your life by magazine numbers, but think about how the handling, braking and power differences will translate over a typical 50- or 60-second autocross course (or even one lap on a road course). I bet it's at least a second or so -- probably more -- and that's HUGE in autocrossing, especially in stock classes where you're limited on what you can do to the car (SCCA "stock" ain't anything like NHRA "stock" ). The Bullitt is the only thing other than a Cobra that is competitive autocrossing against Camarobirds in "F Stock" in SCCA Solo II. People who care about championships and want to drive a Ford in F Stock aren't going to buy a plain ol' GT.
