Axle: It was fun debating. I enjoyed the discussion of ideas. A little advice, don't wish bad luck on your cars because when you do, it will happen to the car that you like and the car that you don't like will end up spotless (believe me, I've been there before). Most of the answers to your question, we are going to have to wait and see.

Patrick: I know plenty of people that had 1st gen Intrepids with the 3.5L who switched over to the 2.7L in the 2nd gen hoping for better fuel economy who found that the 3.5L got the same fuel mileage and others had your experience of better fuel economy. Being that the models you drove were heavier and less arrow dynamic, I have no doubts that the fact that the 2.7L is very underpowered would come through even more and would as a result get worse fuel mileage. The 3.5L is a good engine, it just needs an update is all, since the last time it got an update was over eight years ago. I just want to see them being able to compete with the other cars in the same class with the same engine size is all.

TechmanBD: I hear you loud and clear about the dark green color choice. That is one of my favorite color on cars as well.

Back to the 2001 Bullitt, didn't they offer a Ram-Air or something along those lines as well? I remember the output being at least 5hp & 3ft-lbs of tq. These upgrades are very insignificant in performance-in fact, I think I remember reading that the Bullit was slower than the regular GT in some tests 0-60 for it was around 5.8secs; meanwhile, the normal GT was supposed to be around 5.6 secs-but they add a lot to the pricing. Also, didn't they have special gauges as well?
