That rumor article is over a year old. Look at the pictures...they look like GT500KR's (so that certainly questions their accuracy). There is no way they are going to make the GT 350hp. The power gap between the v6 (210hp) and the GT (350hp) would be 140hp (pretty quick with the math, eh), that's just too big of a gap. It makes far more sense to place another mustang model at the 350-400hp range.barry bullitt said:Of course this doesn't make it definite but read down. Says Saleen accidently spilled the beans on the 2009 Mustang GT being 350hp. The displacement is going to be bumped to 5.0l. 6 cylinder will also have a hp increase to at least 260. These are also pictures of the 2009 Mustang will probably look like:

Be a heck of a lot simpler just to offer the various performance engine options in the Mustang GT,and maybe forget all these special editions. Ford has maybe forgot about the guy who wants a basic GT with the hot 350-400 HP engine. Then the buyer doesn't get lost in the circus of dealers adding ADM's for a special "Boss" model.Whammer said:That rumor article is over a year old.

It seems it would be easier these days with advances in automation. As far as who would be interested in having engine choices, I'd be willing to bet that the percentage of people now is higher than it was in the 60's and early 70's. People have more disposable income, hence the 200,000 + being spent on old Cudas and Shelbys. Look what Boss 429's go for versus a Boss 302.wally05 said:I just don't think that would be practical in the building of the car. Yes, they did it a long time ago, but this is now. Maybe it will change in the future, but for now, their plan is to build a new se every half year, so that is what will happen. The majority of people buying cars don't really care anymore if they get to pick which engine is in the car. Sure, we do, but we are horribly outnumbered, lol. I wish we could customize them to that point, but for now, you just have to pick a SE.

God i hope not!!!!I understand why they brought back the nameplate this time round due to the hole RETRO thing happenning,but in my eyes there is only one true SPECIAL EDITION Bullitt,and that is the '01(not that they didn't due a good job on the '08 as a package over all,minus visuals),the '01 has so much meaning to it,especially when the McQueen family was behind it in '01.So to bring it back another year,would be pure stupidity in my opinion.Cochese said:Will there be a 2009 Mustang Bullitt GT produced?

Also my brother in law works for Ford. He says he has not seen a 400hp V-8 Mustang yet but that engine is currently used by Ford in Australia and could easily be put in the Mustang.
i can't believe ANY of you guys are taking Collin seriously when he asked this.Cochese said:Will there be a 2009 Mustang Bullitt GT produced?
