When traffic allows, I like to roll 80..that's around 2500 with a redline of 6500, 500 higher than the GT's of the same year. Slightly different cam profile. Bullitt's came with 3:73 gears, not sure of the number but the GT 4.6's had a taller rear end. Even so, I've averaged 21.8 mpg according to the car's readout. That's some town driving, two lane roads, and freeways. Really can't say how much of each. I burn premium because only Bullitts came with a variable tune yielding more power with higher octane. It was used by Ford as a semi test vehicle for a few things. Evidently it worked, because newer Mustangs have that feature.
I agree, they'll never be a sought after collectable. That's just peachy-keen by me. I made the mistake of buying a car that became a collectable. When I bought the 911S, I had no clue that would happen. My bad luck, I guess... Anyway, I think Matt nailed it. Matters not to me, because I won't be here to see if it happens or not.
