OK I have owned my 2013 Mustang GT for 6 years and looking at the new Mustangs. I come down to 3 choices:
1. A new Bullitt in black with magna ride.
2. Richard Petty King edition stage one
3. Roush RS1 with magna ride.
I like the Roush body kit. The Richard Petty is rare around my parts and the Bullitt in black is an interesting choice. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I just had the Mustang out. I do like the 625 hp from the Roush phase II supercharger. I plan on taking it down for the opening of the Mustang museum. I didn't expect people to tell me to keep my car, interesting.

Im all for the bullitt. Get whatever color you want. Your money your car. We all have our personal opinions.

I wouldn't even bother with a Roush unless its stage 2 or 3.

I agree with getting the magna ride.

So, I take it you have a Roush Stage 3 car currently? If so, keep it.
I wouldn't trade for any of those cars you listed in your first post.

Save the cash and buy a GT, spend the saved money on mawds.
This! Why not buy a GT with the color, packages you want, and put the money you saved over the Petty/Roush editions on mods.

The Petty King Edition would be at the bottom of the list, followed by the Roush (because of the price premium, even though I like the overall package design), and the Bullitt would be at the top IF it were green. I can never associate black with the Bullitt. Only green. But if the color isn't a factor for you, then go for the Bullitt.

I’ve been loosely shopping 19 Mustangs... I pretty much think if I was going to pull the trigger I would skip all those “special” Mustangs a get one spec-ed our the way I want it.
Spending 15k more for either the Roush or the Petty cars without the supercharger makes little sense to me. If you look around (the US), you will find new 18 Roush Mustangs sitting. If you have to have a Roush, get one of those for a 10k off...

At the price point of the three cars you mentioned, you can get a 17 GT350 certified with under 10k miles. Isn't the Bullitt like $50K??
