Modern Collectibles Exposed: The 2001 Mustang Bullitt Edition 0-60 MPH Review

- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2001 Mustang Bullitt Edition may look familiar to movie fans and that's because it harkens back to the 1968 390 fastback Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt. The 2001 Mustang Bullitt is based on a Mustang GT but added some special bits to make it drive and performa better including high-flow mufflers, Tokico shocks, red brake calipers with the Mustang Logo and a few engine tweaks to make it a bit more powerful. What makes this car unique and why will do we think it will eventually go up in value with classic cars collectors? And how long will it take before the car becomes collectible? And of course how fast is it from 0-60 MPH? Those are questions that we answer in this new feature and modern collectible drive and review.
I dont care about how much power or the specs on this thing..the sound of that 4.6 never fails to make me happy
Would have gone A LOT faster with the traction control OFF. When the green light is on the dash it means the throttle is being limited
Danny Johnson lol first thing I do everytime I get in my Bullitt is push that little button to turn it off
And shift at redline. Looked like he shifted at 5500 rpm. Unless it falls flat after 5k rpm.
midrangetorque I have a 2003 GT. Yeah these Mustangs don’t like going above 5,400 rpm. What kills these cars acceleration is traction control. It literally cuts gas to the engine when it detects wheel spin. He could’ve done 7 seconds or less without it. Maybe 5.5 seconds at sea level.
Angel Gutierrez power isn’t much after 5400 but 5600 is stronger than 5000 so shift at 6 grand to put yourself right back in the power band
Ok Dokey Yes man but mine has 4.10 gears. I do almost 3k rpm in 4th gear at 50 mph. I can shift at 5.5 rpm and still be in the power curve.
ford revised the official h.p. rating to 275.
The "hub caps", which were actually wheel covers, came off the Charger, not the Mustang.
I winced every time they made that joke. That and the theme music that was beat to death.
I own a V6 01 "New Edge" with 70,000 on it. I love the 99-04 look. Always have. Even the V6 with stock pipes has a roar that you don't get from other V6's. I love this car. I just got 336 out of 12.7 gallons ( mostly highway). That's amazing for a 20 year old car. I know V8 people but my baby goes if I need her to with no regrets. Mustangs of this year are so cherry!
Dude just get a damn V8 2V then it’s the same gas mileage and you can find nicer ones for so cheap
V6 people are so strange and no it will never ever sound like or come close to a V8 at all in sound or feel
Jeez
With all the exotics and high end rides you guys review I appreciate the fact you guys took notice and reviewed the Bullitt as an owner I know how truly special they are. They are not the fastest,not the best of quality build materials, but they have tons of character and muscle car feel, and are a Blast to drive. Thanks for sharing guys!!
Red calipers?? It has 13 inch front rotors with calipers from an SVT Cobra.
It may not be the fastest but man is she gorgeous.
What makes the 01 bullitt special is the intake manifold, factory brembo brakes, side scoop delete, seats, sails, gauges, and mudflap side skirts. These cars are holding their value very well and if you want one right now is the best time to buy them since their value is near its bottom.
Cant find one near the san francisco area...
one in my town with 120k miles priced at 14k lol..
Dsgdrew That's right well said, most of these comments are annoying and they don't know what they are talking about.
Can't beat the sound look of that generation of mustangs.
94-2004 best mustangs ever made as far as to look at and sound
Agreed!
99-04*
100%!
Drunk
@@chriscurling7423 whats your point chris?.i love new edge too.
I worked for a Ford dealer when these came out, and did a PDI (inspection) on one of these. I remember when I did the road test everyone was asking me questions about it at stoplights, and telling me how cool it was and sounded.
People that drive mustangs like me know how addictive the exhaust note is, everyday I launch off a stop light just to hear it lol
Ol Nathan loves that sound.... ever hear a 4.6 SVT Cobra mixing fuel & air on take-off or even mid-stride ? Not bad either.
6:02 Did you notice the shoe?
Lol the shoe!
Yes in the same sentence with character lol.
Dude, I have a Black Bullet, and the way you were yacking your lip and not watching what the hell you were doing around that car, I'd never let you near mine. In fact, gonna warn the Bullittheads about this. These cars are rare and people take care of them, and that car was meticulously detailed. You should respect other people's cars and treat them better than your own. If that's how you treat collector's cars, I sincerely hope you don't own any.
Tim Flight 😒😒😒😒😒😒right #463.. No one drives my bullitt but me and the wife
I HATE the 2v 4.6 in terms of power output, however the little 281ci engine sounds fantastic and they are bullet proof. That said this would be the only 2 valve car i'd even consider buying...
You don't know 2v until you own a P71 or a Lincoln Towny.. Mine's making 309rwhp 321rwtrq with a TFS top end..
I never realized how much of an impact sea level had. I know for sure I can get somewhere between 5.5-6 seconds just depending on the time of day down here in New Orleans. Only mods is a air intake and a intake manifold (more of a repair though to be honest),
I'm about to buy a supercharged 2008 Mustang Bullitt with low 20k original miles, Does over 100mph at the top of 3rd gear, Bullitts have tons of potential to be awesome cars, you haters don't even know how bad you would get smoked.
Does 220 km/h at the end of 4th ;)
I have a 2001 Bullitt that I ended up installing a supercharger on and on the street I've surprised more than my fair share of people who wanted to go, and there haven't been many that have gotten the better of me. I've seen some embarrassed looks on guys in their 2016 mustangs lol
#463 right here.. Gonna install my supercharger soon on my Bullitt cant wait!!
3V ain’t smoking anything other than a Prius.
And noobs like you that havent actually drove legit cars dont know how bad you would get smoked. An eagle talon/ mits eclipse wails on those stangs. Awd with a turbo is all it takes bubba. And that is just one car.
probably the best 2v ford put out
I had one 2001 to 2014, you guys covered most of the special features but I can add a few. Regular GTs did not have clear coat paint in the engine bay, there is a secret sticker like under the hood, with the build number under the back seat. All Canadian GTs came with the lights in the sun visors like convertibles, and standard sound was the 6 disc player. Sold mine for $15G in 2014.
This is comin from a mopar guy. This might be the only mustang I’d truly ever want to own. Probably because my uncle owns one. Got it brand new. And I love it.
Amen..
What's the point testing acceleration when the altitude adds 2 seconds to the time?
Definitely something about the sound of a Mustang...just beautiful to hear!
Just bought one of these cars! And also realized you had the traction control on during your acceleration run...You can hear the engine bog and see the little green tire symbol that tells you it was activated.
Great video in any case, certainly helped decide my purchase decision!
I'm about to buy a 2001 Bullitt tomorrow... Do any of y'all have suggestions and warnings? i'm excited!!!!
How did it go with
I came from the generation that loved the movie "Bullitt" & am a GREAT LOVER of the mustang. My beau & I own a 2001 Bullitt. It only has 2500 miles on it. We don't get to enjoy it because he wants to preserve it. I HATE THAT!! If my choice, I would drive this thing at least once a week. I am telling you. It is a sweet fast ride. I had a SC State Trooper ask me if it was fast last time I drove. I told him to follow me down the road, clock me, & let me know how fast it went. He laughed and said he wished he could. I grew up driving & working on muscle cars. My brother always drove Chevys & we used to race down the road in front of house. Those were the days!!!
The saddest cars are ones that are kept in the garage.
I agree, Brian.
+Pam Mullis Ya, I'm trying to keep my Bullitt in reasonable condition, but I still drive it about 3k-5k a year. It's garaged in winter and most rain. I've got a Jeep to beat on when I know I'm going someplace with gravel roads and you can't really let the engine loose in the rain anyway. I sometimes wish I had gone with a regular GT so I could feel freer with it. My wife insists I enjoy the car now. Who am I saving it for? If one of my nieces or nephews wants it "like new", let them restore it when I'm too old to drive.
i have the 2012 v6, but the first mustang i drove was the bullit through the north georgia mountains and I would trade mine in for one in a heartbeat.
Amen to that..
I own both an '01 Mustang GT and a newer CTS-V. Sure, the CTS-V is WAY faster, but wow, the exhaust note of my Mustang is sublime. Totally makes the car feel amazing, even if it is kinda slow. I agree with Roman. A modern collectible indeed.
Nothing like a 2v, congrats..
theres one of these for sale near me. Wish I could get one! sounds awesome!
Everybody who knows New Edge Mustangs knows that the V8 engines in the Bullitt, Mach 1, and Cobra were all under rated by the factory on purpose. The Bullitt was about a half second faster through the 1/4 mile than the standard GT and these cars ARE collectible. Nice examples are selling for twice as much as the GTs.
Due to a different intake manifold.
Just got mine today c:
this Mustang is so darn pretty ! def one of the best looking cars of its era, and even today imho.
7.71 seconds to 60....lmfao.....even a mile above sea level that is ridiculous. take the damn traction control off. this channel has some of the worst drivers for testers that I've ever seen. my 01 gt ran 0 to 60 around 5.8-5.9 secs....you just can't drive
The elevation matters way more than you think
I got a 2000 mustang, dark green, and I was told it has a bullitt performance package. I wouldn't know, all I know is it has 100 more horsepower than my old mustang, and I've already won three races in the few weeks I've owned it. I bought it from a salvage yard, it was rebuilt. And I paid 2500 cash for the whole thing. Do you guys think it was worth it? Because everyone around me, including myself think it was worth it, regardless of its problems.
Jesse Hasch you were lied too
Nice ring smack @ 1:51
2:09 does it again. He's also not sitting in the seat properly putting pressure on the side. His foot is on the door sills too. Complete hacks these guys.
I never like that era/body style mustang, but I have to say that is a very cool muscle car. Love the exhaust note, retro gauges, gotta love American Muscle.
Yeah I have to agree. The only reason I believe the Mach 1 to be more of a collector car than the Bullit is that it had more actual performance parts. I have been in love with the Mustang since I saw my first Fox body in popular mechanics lol. I have been reading your comments and you definitely know your cars.
The Mach 1 in these Gen 4’s came out for just 2 years….03 & 04. That’s the years that the Cobra’s were Supercharged. The Mach 1 is basically the same car as the Cobra’s from pre 03 & 04. The 03 & 04 Mach 1 come with the DBL overhead cam heads and have some other cosmetic features that are different than the Cobra’s. Unlike the Cobra you could get the Mach 1 with either a standard or automatic transmission. The Mach 1 also came with the functional Ram Air Shaker Hood, something that the Gen 4 Cobra’s never came with.
I just one of this with a lot of miles 225,000K and is a lot of fun to drive
I would say the Supercharged Saleen is probably the most collectable of this car. Of course those were like $40 or $50k new I think.
Just saw this as a suggested video and two things. The first is that it's amazing to see how much the professionalism of their filming has become but also it's kind of amazing to know how much their height changes things. Now...given...it's a 2V Mustang which was never and will never be fast without at least a blower of some sort, but it is kind of cool to know my 2014 F-150 has a self tested 0-60 average of 7.20 for a 5500 pound truck.
Acually the 2001 Bullet is the "New Edge" SN95 platform Mustang. The SN95 platform that was designed in 1994 shared its underprintings with the old fox body including the sterring rack.
I owned DHG 5337. Sold it about 7 years ago. Best sounding mustang from the factory imo. It was slow as shit but still a cool car to own. I wish I would have kept it as a collector car. Oh well I love my coyote even better.
Too funny..lol The Coyote is just a stroker 4v with better tech.. Congrats tho..
One of the best looking and sounding Mustangs Ford Motor Co. ever built. May not be the fastest , but who gives a rat's ass when your ride is a total blast to drive ?
We posted it yesterday
I had an 04 black 40th anniversary with gold stripes. I've had faster and nicer cars but I loved that car. It sounded amazing and pulled a lot of guys on the streets of south Florida with just some basic bolt ons.
I think 2 areas where the car mags messed up was the 2v needs to be wound all the way out then power shifted. Stock I ran 14.1@98 literally the day I bought it. With x pipe tune and intake it ran mid 13s@105ish. Which for 2004 wasn't bad! My later 3v car was quicker but never sounded as good as the 2v and didn't feel as raw and alive.
I wouldn't mind having a new edge again, especially a bullet.
The baby shoe hanging from the rear view mirror adds a nice touch.
Saw this on the road for sale. Is $3500 a deal or a steal?
Matt London steal
If its a real Bullitt ? Thats a steal
Even the Exhaust was tuned to match the sound of the hero car the original fastback mustang in the movie "Bullitt" so that makes it even more unique!
If you look up "Modern collectibles" in the dictionary, this car would be the picture next to the definition. Great choice and it does sound awesome and just great fun to drive!
Bro you just scratched the car with your ring OMG ! 1:52
I found a excellent condition 01 green Bullitt with 84K...they're asking $14K...is $12K a great deal for me?
I have a bullitt and the bullitt the doors sill plates they film are factory. Mine still have the factory plastic wrap still on them.
when Nathan was talking about the steering he brought up the fact that the FOX bodies were iffy, i was wondering if he was mistaking the bullitt he was driving for a FOX body? because if momory serves me correct fox bodies was 79-93. great video!
For some reason, that video is not shown in subscriptions.
Great video guys! Bullitt is one of my favorite movies and that car chase is just so much fun to watch! Ford made a newer version of the Bullitt mustang after they introduced the retro styled body back in 2005. I think it was either in 2006 or 2007 that they made it cause my dad and I saw one at one of the local Ford dealers and took it for a drive. Same green color and just a cool car all around! We weren't interested in buying one at the time but it was cool to test drive one.
My old 01 Bullitt at sea level in Sonoma I ran 13.68 at 100 all I had was a K&N air filter and on street tires.
A 2011 to 2014 3.7 V6 Mustang it's pretty much a drivers race with this car although I think the bullet would have the advantage on top end
did you say that it was a fox body? Comon really?
James Swearingen oof
Awesome mustang that's my favorite car mustang
I don't know that these will ever be seen as a desirable New Edge. Even the Mach 1 is just now beginning to become desirable. Until the the last few years if it was a New Edge and it wasn't a Terminator most people just didn't care. I had a '99 GT that i absolutely loved and now i have a '03 Mach 1. From what i can tell, even a nice Bullitt brings less than have of what a comparable Mach 1 brings.
Here are a few cars that would be great to see on a future episode:
1993 Ford Mustang Cobra
Subaru SVX
Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4
Acura NSX
yeah but the fiesta has been revitalized with newer technology from 2013. this car is more than a decade old. just like the new mustangs have 400+hp naturally aspirated. modular ford v8s have gone through some changes.
What is your threshold for "modern" collectible? Assuming a 2001 came out in 2000, its 13-14 years old
Is there such a thing as a 2001 gt cobra bullet mustang
4:51 You didn't turn the traction control off?
It would be great if you guys did the 2002 Trans am WS6 collectors edition.
Can you do a modern collectible on a chevy ssr
Great video. I also own one of these 01 Bullitt Mustangs.
I could buy a tan one right now with 82k for $12k
if you guys are ever in texas you are more than welcome to review my 03 mustang cobra, soon to be a collectible id hope lol
Well if you still got it,congratulations.The Terminators are starting to sell for some serious 🤑🤑 now.
Does altitude really make THAT big of a difference? Wow... I have a bolt-on + tuned '99 GT and I'm easily doing 0-60 in 5 flat on fairly crappy tires. This is with a fresh engine that has 8k miles on it.
+kingcrimson234 yup it does. i live in colorado springs. most military guys move here with camaros and mustangs. those either get sold real quick or boosted. lets just say suby and jeep are the vehicles i see the most
it sounds nice I own a black bullitt this car feels fast and heavy
I love the Bullitt Mustangs but I prefer the 08's compared to this body style. Hey you guys should do the 03-04 Mustangs Cobras. Those things are going to be collectible someday too.
Have you guys ever driven the original SHO?
how do you know which mustang is the bullitt
Think I saw this car at a local autox in a school parking lot a few weeks ago!
lol to be fair I would include the Integra Type R. Unmolested originals are almost impossible to come by and I would add the MK IV Supra as well again unmolested originals almost impossible to find. My personal favorite however has got to be the NSX.
NICE!!!! do you have a video of it?
Dang it, I love the exhaust note!!!
Dude, I live in Boulder. I'm stoned all the time.
To S2Kracer. Yeah, you're right about all those fake cosmetics. I love it!! I own a convertible 2000 GT with ALL that INCLUDING the wing in the back. All we want is to impress our particular peer group. My coworkers drive some of those ricers and they steer away from messing with my Mustang. I'm even about to install a boost gauge on the steering column for my normally aspirated engine! That'll impress them even more!
Maybe your coworkers only want to impress their particular peer group....
If I still had my prelude I had back in high school id mess with your mustang any day. no mustang driver ive met wanted to get their feelings hurt by that car.
Youre compairing one small group of people to the entire fanbase behind hondas. Its like me saying all mustang or ford fans are self centered ass holes. This i know is not true because ive met a couple cool mustang drivers and they respected other opinions even when it differed theirs, something i guess they all cant seem to understand.
I agree. The reason the wheels are round is so you can drive it!!
fox platform ran from 79 to 93. this car is on a SN-95 platform witch ran from 94 to 2004
$27K and 7 second 0-60? I'm gonna go get a chokeburger at Whattasuck
I think a cobra would be more of a "modern collectable".
yamaharider575 too many cobras they're pretty common. Rarely see any Bullitts. Don't know how many times I go to shows sometimes with hundreds of cars and I have the only Bullitt there but there will be plenty of cobras
yamaharider575 there are way way more cobras. You can get them alot cheaper. Just because it's faster doesn't mean it's more collectable.
03 Mystichrome hardtop
To S2Kracer if u hate the mustang fan base sooooo bad why r u on a mustang video reading and posting comments ........kinda funny get a life quit haten
So anywhere else in the country it's pulling 5.5-5.6 if you do the math that's hella good
By the way, great video and great choice of car for the Modern Collectible series.
The 0-60 time was with traction control on. Look at the dash the green light is on. Not a true 0-60 test. Plus they are a mile above sea level take about a second off for normal testing.
my 0-60 in my 01 gt is about 5.2... on street tires lol
As he said, he's at high altitude. DERPPPPPPPPP. You're not going anywhere near 5 seconds at high altitude.
i realize that i was just making a point... and lets be honest at lower altitude these guys couldnt bring in those number, they are terrible drivers...
If were talking mustangs, I think more of a modern collectible would be the year they brought back the gt500. So the 2007 Mustang Gt 500. And this is the only year they allowed the classic colors of red with white stripes. This is also fits the issue on this comment page of power, because the gt500 definitely has power! Muscle Cars all the way boys!
Deffinently wanna see the transam
Sorry man but your Mach 1 does not make 340 stock. If you mod it yes but not stock.
Is that a 2 valve motor it looks like no way thats a 32 valve head
so then the only difference from the gt motor is the intake?
It doesn't make 265 it makes 320 because of the 4v V8 not a 2v.
Austin Bables The Bullitt's are 2v 4.6 motors. Only different is the Intake Manifold. They make probably 10 or 15 more HP than stock GT.
Correct
XSlashDashX No, they're actually only 5 more HP and TQ than the stock GT. It was a rip off if you ask me.
+Austin Bables the bullit is infact the low revving 2 valve motor not the 4 valve only the cobras and mach 1s have the 4v motor
i love the bullitt mustang
One great wish for Ford, they add the Highland Green color for the Mustang.
these guys can't shift for shit! I can get my 04 stang gt 0-60 in 5.3 seconds at altitude of 5500 ft. and my stang has less power!
sure .. uhm how do you think its possible? 320hp cobra goes 0-60 in 5,0 flat .. so just how ?
Damn that exhaust is awesomee
