Picked up my 2020 Mustang Bullitt today. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. LOL
Hi getting ready to buy Bullitt Mustang
Lucky man👍
Congratulations Sir 👍🏻
Thumbs up man, big congrats. Enjoy and have fun all of the time.
Lucky Dog!
That's a tough decision but I think my vote is for the bullitt. The dark highland green is so nice. It's a unique color without standing out too much and you can't mistake it for anything other than a bullitt. I can't get over how sick those wheels are on the PP2 though.
That Bullitt green is really growing on me! The stealth and better exhaust (imo) is a seller for me.
I totally agree with you Chad!
It’s Montana Green
Primus LP Dark Highland Green
“Whether you own one or not. Everyone has a Mustang story “. love that quote
Because its facts bro lmao
Mine's a Corvette(s) story. :0)
Surprisingly very true. I got a couple
I purchased the 2019 Bullitt. Love the car! I opted for the Magneride and the upgraded electronics package. I left behind he Recaro seat option because I like power adjustable seats. Also the Recaro's I think look too big in the car.
The exhaust system, brakes and overall performance is awesome! but no one mentions the audio system that comes with the upgraded electronics package. The B & O sound system is unbelievable to say the least! big mistake if you let that go by regardless of which Mustang you go for. I purchased early on in the release of the Bullitt, the Ford dealers here in Calif. were all asking a firm $10k. over sticker. With a little research I did found a dealer that quoted $5k. over, so I went with that. At the time of order/purchase last September, Ford was only saying that the car would very limited in production. No commitment as to how many? If I had to do it all over again for the cost markup, I would. The car was a want not a need. My second choice of Mustang would have been to fully option the California Special. Being from the San Francisco area, the Bullitt was too fitting to pass up.
Good call! You have a collector's car too so if you ever decide to part with it, doubt you will, but if you do, you'll make a nice profit! I'm definitely a little jealous.
I bought my 19 Bullitt the same equipment you got. Totally agree with you power heated cooled seat are way better value than Recaros .only mod so far is a Steeda X pipe sounds so much better and its still can be quiet if you need it to .
Fully agree that the sound system is amazing. Tried a slammed GT with pp1 and although it was amazing the ride would have never been ok as a daily driver, glad I went with the bullitt in the end. Here in Canada I was lucky enough to get one August 2018 for 2k below sticker.
You guys don’t like the pp2
Dylan Crosby nice car but far from collectible. There are many 2019 still on lots at 5k under sticker
The bullitt just for the collective aspect
Korey Himself very good point!
I would have bought 1 as a daily if it didnt have "summer only" tires
@@tail66 What stops you from getting proper 4 season tires or a second set of wheels with genuine winter tires? I use my original wheels from my 2010 GT Premium for winter since the quality of the paint wasn't so good anyway and got a set from a german manufacturer that looks very very similar to the PP2 wheels -->> www.borbet.de/images/nachrichten/7041.jpg
If you want Bullitt style wheels they are dirt cheap over there.
Well, yes and no. If you take a Bullitt and use it as an everyday driver, unless you cant deal on a ca,r you will get above book trade in value on this car.
Bullitt is a blast as a daily driver and on the track; had mine on the Texas Motor Speedway doing lapse for charity a couple days ago. I tried to get a PP2 but were hard to come by (May 2018), but was able to reserve and get a Bullitt, so glad I did.
That's a difficult choice. The PP2 is more of my taste but the Bullitt has the name and history behind it. I'd probably lean more towards the PP2 because if I got the Bullitt I'd probably want to leave it stock.
mrjjthor Thor so very true!
I bought the PP2, Recaro's, Pilot Cup 2's, Active Exhaust, Magne-Ride, Velocity Blue, love it. Whichever you choose I'm sure you won't go wrong.
Well done Jeff! She must look hot!!!
I reported this comment for sexual harassment.you rappped the Ford lot with that one bruh.
WOW!! What a difficult choice. Two beautiful Mustangs that I would be satisfied with either one. At my age, I wouldn't be doing any track driving, so I think I would eventually choose the Bullitt. For me the Bullitt has more personality, being modeled after the Steve Mc Queen car. The GT is more affordable though, and will perform like a race car. As I said, its a difficult choice! Outstanding job on this presentation, Joe. Keep em' comin', thanks!
Thanks for the comparison video. I went with the Bullitt. The MagnaRide suspension is really worth the extra $$$. I'm in the NC mountains and the Bullitt stays flat on the curvy back roads in Sport. Switch to Normal and it's luxo smooth on the interstate. The engineers at Ford got everything right with the Bullitt!!! Great everyday ride and the performance in always there when you want it.
You did well done! I appreciate your compliment and appreciate you watching!
Your a lucky man driving all these vehicles but were also lucky your telling us what there like..thumbs up Raiti.
F-150 KING OF TRUCKS that had to be one of the nicest things anyone has ever said!😎👍🏻
@@RaitisRides you deserve all the great comments because theres no one better than Raitis Rides....
I have the Mustang Bullitt 2019 very amazing car
Great comparison, just what I was looking for. Looks like the PP2 car in your vid is based on a base GT. The PP2 Premium GT looks like the closest comparison to the Bullitt. Digital gauge pack, upgraded leather interiors. Seems like it boils down to whether you prefer the toned down look and Highland Green of the Bullitt (and extra 20 HP) or the track upgrades of the PP2.
I am so glad that I could share this comparison with you Andrew!
@@RaitisRidesI got the black one
That was an awesome side by side comparison! Excellent job man. I like the PP2 but wish it came with the better dash, center gauges.
Thanks Robert for taking the time to say that. You can option in the nicer dash.
The Bullitt is so clean ! That highland green is gorgeous. I would choose the Bullitt , both cars are great tho. Another sweet video ! Thanks man for bringing them to us
I totally agree with you James and you are so very right!
All I need is for you to convince my wife to let me get a 2019 Bullett! lol Hey I'm not a race guy or speedster, but an almost 70 yr. old guy who wants to have a fun ride. Great review, love your channel.
Or a boss302?
tell Gastopo H.Q. to lighten up I,m 60 and the car is ajoy to drive.
Just buy it, you are 70 i got mine at 40, wife has no say as long as the Bill's are getting paid.
Maybe step up your game and buy what you want?
Great review......that Bullitt's exhaust is perfect! What a glorious noise :)
Bullet sounds so much better
tom martin AGREED!
It's Bullitt, after the 1968 Steve McQueen movie.
@@RaitisRides ,
Definitely the best car reviews on CZcams with honest 'zonks' about the cons of any manufacturer. 👍
Active Exhaust is really good
One can get the active exhaust on PP2
I would get the PP2 Mustang with active exhaust, and keep it in the loudest mode so my neighbors will hear it too. It won't kill them! I would get it in black! With black wheels if available.
You don't need active exhaust if you plan to always keep it on the loudest mode. That's how it is without active exhaust. Active exhaust is there for people who want to keep it quiet.
PP2 or Bullitt? Ruby or emerald? Either way, you're getting a gem! Here in Oz, the downunder muscle car fans sure do love Ford's decision to export in right hand drive. Kudos to Walker Ford for being so supportive, and letting you show off these beautiful beasts for us Joe and Tom :)
Buy the icon, Bullitt
Ian D yes sir!
PP2 if you want to track it, Bullitt as a daily driver that will keep some value as a collectible in 10+ years.
Kheireddine El-Ahdab I totally agree with you!
I have a 2019 GT 5.0 PP2 with leather seats and the digital gauges. Go with a GT 5.0 PP2. MSRP is 43k. I gave 39K. I love it. It even has sport mode for the exhaust and quiete mode. 💪🏿
Thank you so much Brian for sharing that input from your ownership experience!
I have the 2019 PP2 with leather, digital gauges, and every package option... I absolutely love mine...
I picked up one of the last 2019 PP1 with active exhaust at a dealership here in Texas. MRSP was 50K I got it for 40K fully loaded.
Really nice presentation overall. Shows you really know what you’re talking about without long pauses or stumbling on words.
Thanks Jeremy! That really means a lot! I appreciate you watching!
PP2 FTW! But with blacked out logos. And I’m with you, it needs active exhaust. Oh and red calipers.
Love these Mustang vids.....can’t wait until you get your hands on a GT500 👍
Steve Hines neither can I brother!
He got that wicked gt350R heritage. 😎👍🏾
Here in Canada MagneRide is standard on the Bullitt along with the Safe & Smart package. The only option is the Recaro seats.
Kheireddine El-Ahdab you guys always get more on your cars!
And they are cheaper here; example: the PP2 option is $6,500 Canadian, which is 25% less than in the States.
Kheireddine El-Ahdab man I’m moving!
LOL, but you will pay much more taxes and suffer from cold weather 6 months a year!
Kheireddine El-Ahdab thanks for making me come to my senses!
Bullit, There’s no other way around it. It’s the better investment.
"Investment"? you know we are talking automobiles here, right?
These are NOT 1964 and a half or 1965 showroom condition cars.
Perhaps you might want to consider a REAL investment?
From what I understand, PP2 Mustangs are hard to find. They may be more rare than the Bullit. Rarity equals money.
I recently purchased a pp2 in oct.18. Took it to the track at NCM Motorsports ,Bowling Green ky.
I'm right at 1000 miles, so I took it easy, but the car grips like nothin you will ever drive. Trust me !
I became interested in the Bullitt when I visited a showroom for a different purchase. I bought one in May of 2020, during the pandemic, for $6k under sticker and 0% financing. I'm quite happy with the Bullitt and I doubt I will ever part with it.
I'm buying a 2019 GT next week and am so stoked! First Mustang ever. AUD 50k vs AUD 90k for the Bullitt. It was a no brainer for me. Although I do love the sound of the Bullitt, at nearly twice the price, I could not justify it.
The Bullitt is not twice the price of a GT. You need to find a better dealer if that's the case
That Stang's awesome......
I'd choose that PP2 any day....😍
I am so glad that you liked this one!
i went to a dealer in Indiana that has a new Bullitt. I sat in the Ricaro front seat and I loved it. Nice and firm. Fit me very well. Loved the Highlander Green. Lusting after this car now. Very impressed. One of the highlights of my life to see it on showroom floor and sit in there and adjust that steering wheel to suit me.
Thanks for sharing your great input!
Lol Ricardo seats
I would love to see Ford add the PP2 rims, suspension, and 2014-2017 Mustang GT hood and front fascia to the Bullitt Mustang. It would look Old School and more muscular. An Aluminator-equipped Bullitt would be nice! But I like them both! Great review!
Thanks for you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Nice review Joe! You are spot on about wanting the Tremec manual over the GT transmission. CZcams is littered with tales of woe from owners with shift fork failures. Many waited weeks for parts to come in since there were so many out of service. I'm interested to know if they ever came out with a actual solution.
They did. They found out that there were bad castings that caused air bubbles in the shift Forks when they casted them. That weakened the Integrity of them and caused them to break under heavy
acceleration. They got rid of all the bad castings which seems to have fixed it.
@@ericd1632 I believe that was the main complaint about the base GT transmission. It sounds like they finally got that under control now. Thanks.
Hey Joe! Your making me jealous again, there both beautiful SPORTS cars. But I would prefer the PP2, love that magna ride. I wish they would offer the Tremic trans it would make it so much more reassuring. Great camera work Tom! ☺👍.
david kucher I TOTALLY AGREE about that Tremec!
The PP2 needs a Tremec option, and a standard rear differential cooler.
I can't watch this until tonight but I wanted to get my vote in: BULLITT ALL THE WAY! (PP2 is awesome and it's probably what I'd get because I like to mod my cars a lot but Bullitt is a collectible and has more power and distinction.). Be back later to watch the vid.
@Open Ranks there is no such thing. 😁
From this two, the PP2, I honestly don’t like the look of the bullit, only thing I like is the engine upgraded gt350 parts, which should had been on the PP2 as well IMO and the red brembo calipers, which you can buy separate now. but in general a PP1 with all the options and magneride, will be fine for me 😁, I think magneride is a must on any mustang. The wheels of the PP2 are sick, but man, 305 all the way around, insane. Great video Joe 👍👌
Joe...you know my answer...Bullitt!
Scott quintavella can’t go wrong with that choice!
And I’m loving it Joe!
Scott quintavella I’m so happy to hear!😎👍🏻🏆🏁
Thanks Joe and you were right..it is a very special car
That bullit sounds amazing, loving the green colour and retro alloys and white gear shifter, definitely bullit for me 100% dream car 😍👌👌
I am so glad that you like this one.
I love my 2019 Bullitt. It has everything except the Recaro seats. It runs and sounds so good. I always get compliments on the car. The one thing I wish is that I could remove the Bullitt badge on the back.
You can get the Recaro seats in it!
Muddy Paws you can replace the deck lid with a plain one or a silver GT badge or a black GT badge.
Incredible video Joe! I love those PP2 wheels! Would love to have them on my PP1! Maybe someday. Both cars are gorgeous. I agree that the PP2 should come standard with active exhaust. And both should come with the Tremec 6-speed. You continue to knock it out of the park. So glad I found your channel way back when you only had like 2,000 Subs. Glad to be along for the ride brother 👍🏻
I love your comparison videos Joe. I'd love to see you compare the 2020 Bullitt Mustang and the 2020 GT350
"These brakes will stop time" lol love your reviews man, keep em coming! ON THROTTLE!!!!!! 🇬🇧
You got it Rik! Thanks for the support from across the pond!
Also the Q ball shift knob is a plus .
It looks so good James!
When I get mine I'll someone install custom differential cooling done (pp2) . . . this video is totally Frosty . Love it
Thanks Larry! I really appreciate your awesome words!
Omg...that active exhaust 🤤. It’s the kind of sound that makes you purposely forget grocery items just so you can go back out and let it roar.
The Bullitt for collectibility
Was not a fan of this green but it is really growing on me and the sound of that Bullitt is amazing
Outstanding comparison! I have learned a lot of info I would never have found out. Thanks Joe
Was it just me or did the PP2 without active exhaust sound just as good or better in the video? Great informative video. I really appreciate you pointing out all the basics that come with the PP2 version. Looking at left over 19's right now and wondered why the PP2 was cheaper than a California style I've found online. I guess the interior upgrades explain it all.
Insane cars, insane vid!! Good job
Thanks for letting me share it with you Carlos!
Bullitt...I like that green color.
One year later finally pulled the plug on Bullitt #K7037. I love this car and with the current incentives at a price below sticker too. I can’t get enough of the active exhaust on this thing. The lines are so clean. I opted for the non Recaro car as the hot summer here with the cooled seats just works and with the electric seats and memory settings, both the wife and I keep our own optimized settings.
Joe, let’s push the subscriber count to 300k this year.....take care all of the Raiti’s Rides gang.
Congrats Steven! That is so very awesome!
I’d take the performance pack 2 if I had to choose.
You'd end up getting better performance from the Bullitt also that exhaust
@Manuel no factory car at this price point gives you any good performance imo. Aftermarket
@Manuel example pls
Manuel Meh, sounds like pure hate/jealousy. The mustang are as “sports” car as it gets these days. Give me an example of a sports car... better yet a sports car sub $80k... the Mustang will outperform it stock vs. stock guaranteed.
@Manuel you still haven't provided a real example other option in the price range that would outperfrom than your opinion
These videos are my favorite. Keep up the great work!
Just bought a 20 Bullitt, no need for a radio track exhaust is a better sound system. Amazing car and color.
I'm just waiting for them to make the bullit look like the original again, the butt of it and the headlights more than anything plus the classic interior is gorgeous
When you spec bout out they are about the same price, the GT PP2 & Bullitt both has its pros & cons
Great Video!!! Steves is a great Machine!! I had 2GT’s and Liked them , A LOT!!! Hopefully pretty soon I’ll be getting my 3 rd. 73 and Mustangs . 73 yrs. Old that is.!!! Take Care All!!!
That is so wonderful Francis!
@@RaitisRides Your Very Welcome!! You’re Wife and You , Great Videos!
What a dynamic duo (and I don't mean You & BGM) but my heart is set on the Bullitt.
GT PP2 would be my choice. You don’t zonk as much when you are evaluating mustangs. 😀 Great video.
Looking at one of these and a 19 GTCS. I can’t believe at $52k the one I’m looking at costs more used than it did brand new.
Prices are simply just out of control!
Gotta love the Mustang 👍💗😎
Max Polding you got that right!
Love the package & wheels on the PP2- a true steal if you don't check off every option, but Bullitt all day, every day.
This is a hard one . I can’t afford them so I won’t take any 😂
I feel your pain!
I agree! I want a Tremec Tr6060 or TR3160.
GT350 has t3160
Bullit has a different exhaust sound also than the gt - they wanted it to sound like the movie.
Steeda Steve McQueen Edition Bullitt Mustang - 775 hp - Whipple supercharged
Hey Joe- I'm on the fence on a digital dash, is it worth it or not? Looking at a PP1 with Magenride & Active Exhaust. Still debating if I want the digital dash or not.
5.0 litre Mustang.Bet That sounds like heaven buddy 😍
The pp2 and option out for the air box and active exhaust would be my pick if I could afford it lol 😂 👍🏻
12:20 I'd like to see you change gears with drinks in the cup holders lol
Now that would be intersting! LOL
My only gripe about my mustang's interior 😅 i cant use the front cup holder if i want arm room to shift
Those wheels on the PP2 look like no other domestic car. Fantastic vehicles. I'd take the Bullitt, though
This January I got the 19 BULLITT but in Shadow Black. The highland forest green was rolling out the driveway as soon as I went to the dealership, but I’m not mad. Black on black looks great, and I get looks left and right regardless. Besides, I’m no Steve McCool. Lol
I was close on getting the PP2. It really was a sight to see. Leather seats, active exhaust, race red. However the dealership had the markup over 10k. It was a ‘20, and they gave me an offer for the ‘19 I couldn’t refuse. The BULLITT came out cheaper even with the magneride suspension added.
Wow the Bullitt. My husband just purchased one its the beast of the road
I totally agree with you!
Thank you for the Mustang content😝....cant get enough of your vids. Awesome review like always!!!👌👍🤘😎.
PP2 for me 👌🏻
Sammy Rodrz same here!
Great vid Joe. Very thorough. Really enjoyed it!
I cant believe it was about 18 years ago I picked up my 2001 Bullitt. I think I paid $26,5 out the door. Of course the lot boy beat the %#$ out if it the day before. Rear fenderwells loaded with chunks of molten rubber. I told them - park it no prep. What Can You do, Hampton Ford knuckleheads. No scratch on the DS door though. Enjoy your 2019 Matt. It Sounds extrordinary! - Sandy
Thanks for sharing that great memory Sandy!
Thank you for this review. Very detailed and straight to the point. Thumbs up!
According to everything you said, I would choose the Bullitt with the optional magnetic suspension. I don’t really like the chrome details or the wheels but the chrome can be blacked-out and I could just buy the wheels from the PP2 and equip them with cheaper street tires and keep those for track use.
Ohh and a spoiler! Definitely needs a spoiler
The regular mustang should go to 180 on the speedometer. I think the gauge looks better with the space between the 20 markers tighter.
Thanks for input and perspective!
Hey Joe, I see they’re coming out with a new eco boost performance package with a bigger turbo. 330hp and a wider power band. I always thought a Mustang had to be a V8 but a lighter car , better gas mileage and 0-60 in the 4 second range could be tempting! I think they’re gonna have one at the N.Y. Auto show . Gonna miss it this year! Moved to Phoenix last August. The one here wasn’t anywhere near as big. Looking forward to your videos from it!
Custom ordered a PP2. Wish it got the HP boost like the bullitt, that’s my only complaint.
I totally agree with you Matt! What color did you go with?
Lightning blue
Interesting video... I have a 2016 GT Premium with Performance Pack (I guess you call it PP1) here in California. I leased it for 3 years and at the end of my lease, I purchased it. This care has 435 HP and 460 FT/LB torque, however it also has the 8 speed Automatic along with 3.73 gearing. I didn't see/hear what the Mustangs you were showing, but I believe they only have the 3.55 gearing with the manual trans... That said, my 2016 is super unique. It will dust any mustang with a 3.55 gearing and manual gear box. However, I'm also running 20" wheels which came stock from the factory with Pirelli P Zero Nero's in 265/35/20 all around. At the end of my lease after 3 years, I only had 10.200 miles on the car, but he Pirelli's were already worn down on the inside tread (all 4 tires) to the steel threads... As disappointing as that was and remembering how slick and uncontrollable the care was in the rain, I switched to a new wheel and tire. 20" all around but with a staggered 305/35/20 rear and a 285/35/20 front with Continental Extreme Sport tires. No longer do I have a traction control problem, but grip on corners I thought couldn't be achieved.Anyway, what I'm saying is, after 4 years of ownership and only 12,300 miles on my ride, it is well invested. I'm an old man by any regards today, I had my fun and racing back in the day, so I'm more about performance when needed, not racing. My Stang does the job and quite impressively so. What is weird is, the "Sticker" of my Stang does not mention any "Magna-ride" suspension or "Active Exhaust", however, when I tap the toggle to "Track" mode, the suspension tightens down along with the steering as well as the exhaust note. I believe it is the same, but I think Ford capitalized those functions as an additional selling point just to boost the price a bit.Back in 2016, my Stang was stickered at $46,235. It has everything, including Navigation, heated and cooled seats, pure leather. I just can't see giving up such a great car for later model years as they are unimpressive...
Get the Bullitt of course. It's more of an icon, sounds awesomly old schooland will hold it's value better.
Bullit easy choice, it’ll become a collectable in the next decade and be worth twice or more than what it was worth brand new where I believe the gt’s will depreciate for longer before they become collectable there’s going to be hundred of thousands of them
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
I really like you videos, if you would take a feedback, I feel like the driving experience need more cameras, angles , exhaust view... audio. Just to make it more interesting :) keep it up also a close up of the digital gages
The hardest choice i have, Bullitt or Ruby Red PP2, Magna ride for both, leather seats. I really want the Bullitt for the collector aspect and it being a special car, BUT and this is a big but, that Ruby Red color is undeniably the best color for a those mustangs.
You should know the Promotion came through, i can now afford a new mustang. I will be ordering a 2020 as planed, im just seriously waffling between Ruby Red and a Bullitt. Its the last choice i have to make. I am leaning to the Ruby Red more, but the sound of that bullitt with that GT350 intake gives me hen flesh.
Great comparison and camera work!
2019 Bullitt Owner. No question. Bullitt. 10-20 years…..Bang! Collectors item. Double the price you paid for it.
They both r beautiful 👍👍😎🏝
Elvin R Inoa AGREED!
Hated that "Torque Thrust" style wheels as that's what Ford had equipped my 16 GT with and ended up using them for winter wheels. Even in the end they were so ugly I ended up selling them for aftermarket wheels for my winters...
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Dude I had a GT 350 Shelby1969 grabber blue when I was in high school
I just had sex with Scarlett Johansson
Could you feel the extra 20 hp on the Bullit?
Excellent video! I'd go with the Bullitt and most likely in black over the green.
Mark Knox thanks Mark! Great choice!
I think if your buying pp2 or the bullit they should be optioned out by Ford mangaride should be standard on both leather sync 3 all the goodies . Now you have a base bullit or a bullit with magnaride 😞 and the bullit sounds really good compared to the gt
I totally agree with you!Very good points!
Still prefer the Bullitt ... it is a latest interpretation of the old 1970 high performance street car while the PP2 is more like a track car ... really like the Bullitt’s clean front mesh with surrounding chrome, chrome around the window and the white cue-ball stick shift ... wondering if Ford would later release the Bullitt with non-digital, old style instrument cluster for more iconic one.
I think I need to get this same fix done on my 23 c8 feels like it’s having our time feathering the clutch and first and second gear when I’m in second it does that bobbing at low RPMs and coming to stop
Great rides and a great review. Thanks for sharing :)
Hey joe, i have an advice, take it or leave it. Up to you but i think the majority agrees... keep your videos short as short as you can no one has 25 minutes to spare time is money... keep it short, informative, full of golden info.
Thanks for the feedback!
No worries, this is a brotherly advice, because some might be disinterested before they click on the video.
