youmight be right leonard.. from what i have heard and with the info here --> http://www.mach1registry.com/Specs/Specs.htm the bullit and mach1 are almost identical.. only diff is shocks and sway bars..
what diff is the thicker front sway and leaner rear sway going to have ? .. is it better to be beefier in the rear and less in the front ?.. or visa verser ?
Thicker up front is going to help, help, help. Because of the AWFUL camber curve of the mcmuffin strut we have up front, the more spring rate you can put under it the better. It doesn't fix the problem, but it fixes it by limiting suspension travel. Stick as much spring under the front as you can. (I went with coilovers because I can get more wheel rate with better ride quality).
The rear in your car is even worse than the front. You need to get rid of the 4 link bind monster. Torquearm panhard bar or watts link... they both work equally as well from what i've read, it's just a matter of preference... steeda 5 link?? the jury is still out.
The real difference between your car and a Bullitt is going to be the engine. The 2V doesn't put down the peak power/torque you do and it gets winded over 5k, but the torque curve is nice and broad. The 4V just doesn't have that same feel at the bottom end. (Ask Shawn Phillips about driving my car after his V8 2V automatic -- he claimed I had no torque). I think with proper gearing the Mach 1 will win out IF you can learn to keep it in the power band. The problem with that is that it becomes very unruly over 5k and wheelspin is the norm. The 275's (in back) seem to have aleviated this for me for the time being, but keep in mind that I still have 3.27 gears. Granted, I'm pushing 307hp/305tq at the wheels too....
