I saw/heard one of these rumbling down the road, it might have had a special exhaust, it sounded the nuts.

A really naughty sound, like an angry dog quietly growling, waiting to go loud.

Made me want one at the time.

I hope these depreciate to the same level as a 645i ie £10k.
Would love one.

I think in a few years time when everything's going electric, or part electric, and has to adhere to even more stringent emissions/sound laws, these types of raw/noisy cars will creep up in value.

Of course they'll dip in the mean time, but they've got to firm up once you can't buy anything similar.

That’s my worry. Monaros seem to be doing this.
The Mustang must be the only n/a V8 manual with LSD that is not LHD that you can buy.

My friend has the 2008 limited-edition Bullitt Mustang, with a healthy 4.6L V8 tuned for slightly more power than the GT of the day--Making 315 Horsepower and 325 lb/ft of Torque. Mated to a 5-speed manual, and with a firmer suspension than the Mustang GT, it's a fun car that drives smaller than it looks... but still feels like the Queen Mary compared to the Z3 The exhaust note is pretty cool, though.

Interesting enough, it doesn't say Ford or Mustang on it anywhere... just a small Bullitt Badge on the (fake) fill cap fitted to the trunk lid, in homage to the 1968 movie car that was debadged. Not even a galloping pony on the grill:

The new 2019 edition with 475 HP/ 420 lb/ft of Torque would be a beast, for sure.
