Isn't the 2010 GT, at least mechanically, a 2009 Mustang Bullitt Edition? Sure, there aren't that many upgrades, but there are upgrades/improvements over the stock 09 GT. I went with the 09 GT just because the arrival of the 2010 model made the 2009 model so affordable. I don't especially like the butts of the 2010s either, but the front looks so good, combined with the interior improvement, that the ugly butt doesn't really matter. Love the 2010s in Kona Blue.
Ummmm...you're gonna need to provide some empirical data to justify those claims...
I'm lifting some text from the article...all these parts are STANDARD, so please don't assume these are options... I'll put a link at the end as well.
That work for you? Also, to be clear, this is an article about the 2010 GT.
"Under the hood, the engines are carried over. The V8-equipped GT now makes 315 HP (up from 300) thanks to the addition of the cold air intake from the Bullitt. That intake is also good for a .3 second reduction in 0-to-60 times. Want more shove? Add premium gas for about a 10 lb-ft increase in torque between 1,000 and 4,000 RPM.
Suspension on the new model now comes from whichever old model was one up the range. So the V6 gets the suspension from the old GT, the GT gets the suspension from the Bullitt. And the GT500? Well, you'll have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show for that. But for now all models get traction and stability control as standard.
There’s also a bunch of other new parts like the standard front undercover that reduces front lift by 23% and the optional rear view camera.
The sum of these new parts? A vehicle that’s better in every way than the one it replaces. It’s faster, better handling, nicer looking and now has a big boy interior. It’s kind of like a really, really comprehensive tuner version of the old one.
But that’s only part of the story. What’s interesting about the new Mustang isn’t the standard parts, but the optional ones, the ones you have to pay for."

Mechanically, the 2010 GT is a better car. Sure, you could upgrade things on your own, this is always true and irrelevant when comparing stock cars.

2009 GT owner
