*bows down to the essence of cool*

It would be cool if there was a shadow beneath the Mustang as it's catching air. :o)
 
I love its understated, "sleeper" look. To the untrained/unsuspecting eye, it looks more like a V6 Mustang than a lightly-modified Mustang GT.

It is a bit "plain" for a special limited edition Mustang. For $33K I think I could find something with better overall performance , maybe a 350Z?

the 'plain' look is the whole point.
I think it's great, and the Mustang is one of the few excellent vehicles that Ford makes. It's an icon, like the Jeep Wrangler and the Vette.

That car is the definition of cool
not showy, yet very nice looking
its amazing what some of those minor details can do for a car

I'm not really feeling the plain look, I mean you're paying more than you would for a Mustang GT, dont you want to at least look special. No spoiler, or even the double headlights? I'd rather have a Shelby GT.

I'm not really a huge fan of spoilers, but I really feel like this Mustang needs one for some reason. It just doesn't look balanced without one. I'm okay without the stupid hood scoop and even the driving lights. Maybe a duck-tail trunklid or something...

I'm with the plain look. This is exactly how I'd like mine - no spoiler, single headlights. Seems like there's no shortage of heavily done Mustangs, nice to be distinctive to those in the know.

I'm one for the plain look. Strangely enough, it kind of makes my car stand out during rush hour and at the race track, which is why I really like this Mustang!

Maybe my use of the word "plain" was a bit of a stretch. I DO like it without the rear spoiler, and I like the rims, but the front looks like a regular V6 model. I think Ford could have thought of something that would make the Bullit recognizable as a Bullit and kept an equal amount of simplicity.

I like the Mustang-Bullit. The clean looks goes with the original and some of the upgrades is a small step foward than the loaded GT. How about a remake of the movie with a new Challenger coming up!
