It's funny though. There is some snobbery going on in the Mustang camp.

Lol

Guess they want to feel better because they know the Camaro still whoops a$$ and is the better buy.

It’s strange, most of the people over there are bragging that they’re getting $50k msrp mustangs for $38k. I keep meaning to ask why ford dealerships need to discount a new refresh for 20% off in the first year. I’m interested to see the resale values when they are getting discounted like that. It doesn’t scream sophistication.

Ha, you guys are close. I live in Bel Air. Got mine at Ourisman Rockville though. Koons wasnt willing to deal at the time.

Yeah, I dont get the Bullitt thing. It's a boring green mustang with some badges, a couple bolt ones, and ugly wheels.

An interesting, if not humorous, yet disappointing review of a new Bullitt. While the article praises the new car for its affinity with the original, it absolutely bashes its driving dynamics. Yet another example of Ford protecting Shelbies as its designated track stars. Apparently by design. And thats a shame.

Lol, that about says it all. Yikes! Loving my Camaro choice even more. They do sound good though...

It's for the old guys that remember the movie with the best car chase scenes of the day.

Although one of the biggest proponents of it is a really young guy. He's got a pretty nice YouTube channel that I subscribe to. He used to go by subaruwrxfan and had a different dark green Mustang at some point in the past. Does some really nice drive reviews, too. Including a couple really nice SS and 1LE reviews.

His review of differences between his Bullitt and other 2019 'Stangs.

His 2016 Camaro SS auto & manual review

That kid talks way too fast and is super awkward.

At any rate, I feel like the Bullit is basically the Hot Wheels version of the Mustang.

TrackClub · 08-14-2018, 10:35 AM

I have watched this kid before. His 1le review is hilarious. He screams like a little boy with a new toy

Seems like a very nice guy.

For the most part that is exactly what it is, but Ford tossed a little extra horsepower and go fast goodies on it to make the price a little more justified

I've seen his videos, I think he did a couple turbo 4 Camaro videos as well. From some where here in PA if I'm not mistaken.
Still a 50 year old movie car. Probably older than his parents.

Annnnd, here we go:

PP2 went through Laguna about where we all would expect. I am surprised in two things: the comments about the PP2 off track manners, the PP2 brakes (good job Ford!), and no mention of PP2 diff over temp.

The off road stuff did surprise me a little too, but sounds like that is because of the tires
