Bullitt Meetup in Review - A Week Later
Okay, you got us — this bit of Bullitt wrap up business is a little late in coming. We were busy bringing you all the breaking embargo releases Monday and schlepping it across the country to do that little New York Auto Show, so give us a break. Anyway, last Saturday saw the largest convergence of Jalopnik nerds in quite a while. While we never got an accurate headcount because some of you sulked in and then scurried back into your dank basements to check for updates after, we did have a good time. There's no way to have a bad time when you're out at an old theater to take in a cool flick and a new Ford Mustang Bullitt pulled onto center stage for a surprise cameo.More »

Top Gear's Pat Devereux Hearts the New 2008 Ford Bullitt
While I've yet to drive the new Bullitt Mustang, I've definitely heard good things about it from some very good people. Heck, even Phil Floraday over at the Road that is ever-Winding gives it a thumbs up. Chalk up one more thumbs-up from an auto writer as Top Gear magazine's Pat Devereux had this to say about the new McQueen re-make:Ford has got it all wrong with the new Bullitt Mustang. It's tried to create a modern version of the original but, as I've just finished restoring one of the 1967 cars, I think I'm in a good position to judge. The new car is nothing like a modern GT 390 - it's much better.But why's he think it's so good?

The 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt edition doesn't have quad camshafts or forty-eight valves in the cylinder heads. There is no turbocharger under the hood. The Mustang doesn't pack an eight speed twin-clutch super sequential transmission. The Mustang needs not even one of these things to be exactly what it is - a purely American machine that's a blast to drive.

Latest by kalamath: Vipers and Vette's have been known to spit half shafts. Hell, even the new M5 with a manual tranny grenades the rear end, and it's made with FINE GERMAN PRECISION *GASP* @parramore46: Exactly; more than anything, I'm sure that the stick axle more »

Well, never mind all the hints and leaks as the 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt edition's officially revealed. Ford's got a press release and we've got it below the jump. We've also got the press photos below. But consider it the appetizer with the main course coming sometime soon from the mighty Mike Bumbeck, who's already given us a taste of what's to come. Trust us, it'll taste a whole lot better than this warmed-over press pomp n' circumstance. But we've provided it for you super-fans of Ford and Steve McQueen — because we know you'll enjoy it.

The best laid embargoes of mice, men and blue-ovaled automakers are often destroyed with something as small and pliable as a dealer e-mailing. The dealer flyer conveniently provides a shot of the new pony car (much better shot than that provided by the teaser image) plus all the details on the new version of Ford's muscular muscle car. Details like it'll have a 4.6-liter V8 from the GT, except performance upgraded to allow it the ability to deliver 315 horses and 325 lb-ft of torque to the big ol' truck axle in the back end, an MSRP of $31,075 on the 7,700 units Ford'll be building. Many Bothans died to get us — ok, not really. Actually, hat tip to our friend Schmorse Power for snagging us this. All he asked for was a Fugazi or fIREHOSE reference. Sorry to have to wait until the End hit to give you some Red Medicine, but you know how it is. Full details on the mailer below.
