The Bullitt may not fit into the supercar category, but it has plenty of hp and torque that will put a large grin on many people's faces. Plus, the sound of the exhaust note is classic. Listening to the Bullitt rumble through the concrete canyons of San Francisco immediately brought back memories of the movie's car chase.

Regardless of what people think of this car, Ford is doing exactly the right think in making so many different special versions of the car. They need to keep people and the media interested in talking about the car. Chrysler should have been doing this all along with cars like the 300 and the Charger/Magnum.
