$35k Mustang GT or $47k Mustang Bullitt? Which would you buy?
.I’m lucky enough to drive a ton of cars every year but there are a few that really stick out and the Ford Mustang Bullitt is absolutely one of them. For those that have been following me for a while, you know that my favorite muscle car is the Chevrolet Camaro. However, I’m not ashamed to give respect where respect is due. If there is any muscle car that I would buy over the Camaro SS, it would be the Ford Mustang Bullitt.
.
Paying tribute to the 1968 Mustang GT Fastback that starred alongside Steve McQueen in the ‘Bullitt’ movie, the new version is simply outstanding. It has an awesome loud exhaust, plenty of V8 power, handles great, has a white shifter, and of course – it’s colored in the awesome Dark Highland Green.
.
But is it worth the extra price over the standard Mustang GT Fastback and is it close enough to the GT350? Stick with me over the next couple of days as I take a closer look at the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt.
Which looks best? Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger?
Again, I’m a huge fan of the Camaro but my second runner up based on looks alone is the Ford Mustang. I love what Ford has done with the overall look of the new Mustang, particularly with the fastback design. That being said, I think that the Ford Mustang Bullitt is the best looking Mustang besides the GT500 and the GT350/GT350R.
.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard an automotive executive use the word ‘badass’ – but when describing the new Ford Mustang Bullitt, Mustang chief engineer Carl Widmann said: “It has to have the right attitude, it has to be unique in some way from a Mustang GT, and more than anything, it has to be badass.” And the new Ford Mustang Bullitt is exactly that.
.
The first thing you’ll notice is the classic Dark Highland Green exterior paint. It is one of my favorite exterior paint jobs in any current vehicle. The only other color available on the Mustang Bullitt is Shadow Black but I would avoid that for obvious reasons. Other highlights include red Brembo brakes, a blacked-out front grille (w/no pony badge), and classic 19-inch five-spoke heritage aluminum wheels which I would probably end up switching out if I ever bought a Mustang Bullitt. There is minimal badging around this special-edition model which I really like. The only place where you see the ‘Bullitt’ logo on the outside is on the rear center.
.
Standard exterior features include dual exhaust with quad tips, LED headlights with LED signature lighting, LED fog lamps, functional hood vents for better airflow, and pony projection puddle lamps when you open the door.

Which muscle car would be your daily driver?
I’ll get into all the technical details of the Ford Mustang Bullitt tomorrow and what makes this special-edition model slightly better than the Mustang GT and how it takes some inspiration from the Mustang GT350. But before all that, let’s have a little 3P Comparison and see where the Mustang Bullitt fits in the muscle car lineup.
.
I’ve added the base Mustang GT pricing along with the Mustang GT with Performance Pack Level 1 (GT Performance Package), which is standard on the Bullitt. That will help give you a better idea of the price comparison between the two models. I also added in the automatic models for the Camaro SS and the Mustang GT because they do offer quicker performance than their manual siblings.
