Greetings Bladecutter! I just got home from a San Francisco Bay Area vacation. I visited the San Francisco City Hall where my girl cousin married her wife recently. (Only in America!)Gee, maybe because the mustangs were 390's & the mopes were 440's....HELLO!No, I didn’t read about the film cars back then, but I have heard over the years that the Charger completely out gunned the Stang. Not surprising.Did any of u read the Saturday evening post (back in the day) , that had an article about how much faster the "show room stock" dodge was than the car Mcqueen built himself ? They were all in amazement , producers, cast and Mcqueen himself. The stang was a little faster in the corners, but quickly got ate up on straighter roads. It was in the script for the charger to get torn up.Ever wonder why the Stang was all beat/dented in that movie? Wasn’t it filmed in April 1968 and the cars were not even a year old? Good movie though. I loved seeing all the hubcaps keep flying off.
My cab driver took my wife & I downhill from the City Hall following the steep Bullitt chase scene streets. My *** puckered knowing Steve and the Charger drove that route wide-open-throttle. Steve did his own stunts and now I have a huge appreciation of the cojones Steve owned to drive the course at that insane speed! I couldn't agree more when Pops1967GTX states the epitome of Coolness is Steve McQueen! The film Bullitt chase scene tied up the City for almost 3 weeks.
Bladecutter, Steve's 390 Fastback Mustang and the 440 Dodge Charger are pretty close to being evenly matched in the film. Using the car weight to power ratio:
1968 Fastback Mustang - 3336 lbs - 390 c.i. - rated 325 h.p. - 13.7 lbs/hp
1968 Dodge Charger - 3737 lbs - 440 c.i. - rated 375 h.p. - 13.3 lbs/hp
That could explain why the lighter Mustang was faster in the corners and the more powerful Charger made up the distance in the straightaways........... just sayin.'

They removed Steve as the driver really fast. Almost wrecked in the beginning.
