Ford Mustang Bullitt – 2008 Review: Commemorating the landmark 1968 Steve McQueen movie “Bullitt” – especially the famous car chase scene – the 2008 Bullitt Mustang is more than just another special-edition-of-the-week Mustang that we’ve become accustomed to from Ford. This one boasts a little more power, better handling and possibly the best exterior enhancement of any current-generation Mustang that we’ve seen, high-performance Shelby models included. Yet performance has never been the Mustang’s problem. It’s the lack of refinement, and the Bullitt’s cheap plastic interior and lack of sophistication is even less acceptable at this model’s $34,700 as-tested price tag than it is at the standard GT’s $28,000.
