Handling
The Mustang Bullitt’s suspension enhancements don’t include an independent rear end, and despite the better shocks and springs there’s no escaping that big heavy axle in back. The Bullitt stays composed in hard corners as long as the road is smooth, but hit a bump or pothole and the rear end dances nervously. The steering is very precise, and the body motions are well controlled for such a heavy car, but curvy roads are not this car’s strong suit. Surprisingly, the Bullitt has a comfortable ride. It’s controlled, but only lumpy or harsh on seriously broken pavement.
