Mustangs have been around for many generations and they will continue to be here. They have become an icon in America and have been labeled as one of the best Muscle cars. Through the years Ford has been able to develop the type of Mustangs that consumers from all over will love.
The new 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt is no exception to it. If anything it only improves upon the design and adds new features that will help to make it that much more appealing. The 2008 Bullitt commemorates the classic Steve McQueen film. But Ford never makes their Mustangs in small numbers. There are a few other models that have been added to the 2008 model line-up.
Standing next to the Bullitt is the 2008 GT500KR. This is probably Ford's most powerful Mustang ever to be built. Excited? I know I am! Power is something that we all crave in a car no matter how small or big it might be. And that is what Muscle cars are all about. Without power they would just be another economy car that we drive to work and listen to the radio in. Instead we are proud of each and every powerful Mustang!
As is custom these models are available in convertibles and coupes and come equipped with either the V6 or V8 engines in the Premium or Deluxe trims. The base version are built with 4.0 liter V engines that have the ability to push out 210 horsepower.
We have saved the best model for last. The Shelby GT500 has returned and it brings a supercharged 5.4 liter V8 engine - which pushes out a whopping 500 horsepower! As for the Bullitt it is built with a 4.6 liter V8 engine that can push out 315 horsepower and is only available with the 5 speed manual transmission. The GT500 is also only available in manual transmission. The other base models are available with automatic or manual transmission.
Ford has made the Shelby GT500KR a limited edition coupe - which means if you really want it then you better get your hands on it fast before they are all taken. It is built with a 5.4 liter supercharged V8 engine that has the ability to push out 319 horsepower. When it comes to safety the engineers at Ford have equipped it with front side airbags, ABS, and traction control.
There are many trims and appearance packages that are available depending on what model you choose. This includes their famous and most notable "Warriors in Pink" edition. Much of the proceeds from this model package go to breast cancer research.
