Go for the SS 1LE, is a better driver's car on the performance side. If you like Mustangs a better choice to the Bullit would be a Shelby GT350R if you can afford it. For the $, there's is nothing better than the SS 1LE.

The Bullet isn't really all that special. I really don't get all the Bullet Hype.

depends what you plan to do with it. if you want to use it and track abuse it 1LE all day. if you want something a little more "special" bullitt. Personally I don't think the bullitt looks that great and id go for a PP2 mustang myself.

I like what Ford did here. I own a Fifty. Nice special edition package for 2017. But the mechanicals are identical to any other 2SS Convertible. With Bullitt, Ford spiced the deal with 20 more horses and some performance parts not available on GT PP1. Of course, they’re charging a lot more for it. The Fifty package was an extra $1,750 (I think) over the 2SS. Bullitt is $12k over the base Mustang GT. But then once you add in the PP1 and Premium packages, the gap winds up somewhere around $5k. Closer to the price difference from a 1SS to a 1SS 1LE. And the performance gap is likely on par with the gap between a 1SS and a 1SS 1LE, except more from a drag strip perspective than a track perspective.

Or a '14-'15 Z/28. 505hp, carbon brakes.

I love the 6 gen. Camaro, especially the SS 1LE and ZL1 1LE variants, but I have to disagree with you on the Z/28
The only thing good about the Z/28 is the engine, brakes, and suspension. It is a bare bones car and the interior is most definitely the old plastic GM before they wised up. |

I'd get the Bullitt, all things being equal. Looks better, more HP, limited edition, digital dash, Sync 3, better exhaust note. Resale alone makes it a no-brainer, the previous gen Bullitts are going for almost a 40-50% premium over regular GTs of the same year.
Here in the US all things aren't equal between the 2, dealers want insane markups on Bullitts, so if you can get one anywhere near MSRP seems like a solid buy. |

I wouldn't spend any money on hype. Most of these special edition Fords are turning out to be hype more than anything else. They look good on paper. Take them out on the track or even the street, and if they aren't breaking, they're under performing.
Talk to me when Ford actually builds a true all-round performance vehicle that doesn't require a service visit or third party upgrades to keep up with the competition. Sure, you could take a GT350 out to the track, but if it doesn't overheat, the engine might take a dump. And on top of all that, it'll still get its ass kicked by cars that cost less. And Ford wants how much for that car? I expect the Bullit to be another dud when it comes to performance. The only thing that's interesting about it is the fact that Ford finally introduced active rev matching. And you know they're going to have issues with it. You can set your clock to that. Only the GT500 seems like it will really take on the competition, and even then, it's going to be too expensive for what it is. |
