Actually, most dealerships are selling for MSRP ($31,000) or less and all plans are being accepted for it. I got mine almost fully loaded for $29k (x-plan). Also, the 0-60 time is a 5.0 flat in most tests. Which as you know, is dependent upon weather and other factors. The emphasis is in the handling. The bullitt is running the 1.4 mile in approx. 13.2 seconds whereas the GT is doing it in 13.7. Everything I've read on it has been that the car is gold. The interior (GT500 seats, wheel, and more), better shifter, the handling, exhaust sound... lap times are better than the Shelby GT at the miller motorsports track (Ford Racing). Dynos done so far (also very dependent upon temp. and such) are putting it in the mid 270's (273-275rwhp). All this while still retaining a good road ride... unlike the SGT.
The BOSS would be nice, but truthfully, I don't care to have one and THOSE cars will be marked up to death. Most guys on the international bullitt owner's club site are getting their 08's for less than MSRP. I guarantee that they'll all be spoken for by the end of the 08 build season. If not, it will be b/c of the dealerships that are too dumb to realize that no one will buy the car for more than MSRP.
You won't see another run of them b/c the Bullitt is a specific car built to be a SE... which Ford will do a different one every 6-8 months (confirmed in an interview with the designer). Also, the McQueen family and Warner Bros. will not allow another run. I think the only reason why it happened again from 01 is b/c the new bodystyle was so perfect for it.
I won't be convinced of dyno and lap times for sure until tests are done on production vehicles and MANY tests are ran. there are just too many factors to do otherwise.
