American cars have come a long way..
I drove a Shelby GT350 - it was riotously good. Massive amounts of top end power, the sound is next level. The flat plane V8 howls menacingly, muscly and exotic at the same time. Brake pedal feel was excellent, masses of grip (295 fronts, 305 rears!), nice notchy gearbox. Seating position was crap, and the interior was a step down from the e9x. Chassis felt well dampened and cornered very flat. Steering wasn't the best in terms of feel and weight but it was very precise. It felt particularly lifeless run back to back with the e9x but that's the same with a lot of modern cars.
The Bullit looks like a special edition GT, which is a cool car but I wouldn't get out of an e9x for one. GT350 is a different story..
