Got a Bullitt for $7.99 today

I found a copy of Bullitt on blue ray at best buy. . got to sit down and watch it today, it's been years since I last seen it. I thought I would chafe Paul a little by counting the number of Porsches I saw during the movie. I had forgotten that when Bullitt wrecks is mustang, he is actually chauffeured around in a Porsche. . I only saw one white 911, I wonder if there's more.

I never get tired of that movie and it stands up over time really well. I love it when they release old favorites in blue ray. My favorite McQueen movie, too.

Ok so how many Porsches? I toughs I counted 4 , but can only recall 3 now...

Yellow 356 obviously
Red 356 when the charger first appears
White 911 on the freeway when McQueen looks out of the window of the flophouse hotel.

How does the BD compare to the DVD version? Is the difference great enough for me to get it on BD even though I have a DVD copy?

At $7.99, I can justify the upgrade, but wonder if I will see much of a difference, given the age of the film.
