Well, we're just a week away from the LA Auto Show and the big n' muscular news for the show has got to be the new 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt edition, which will be revealed there. Now we've already shown you the teaser image Ford released two weeks ago for the 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt, as well as the purported performance details and of course we showed you the spy shot taken in Northern California yesterday. Now we've got a high-res shot of the Bullitt-ridden muscle car teaser photo from two weeks ago, and we're prepared to share it with you for your desktop pleasure. You know, if you're into that kind of thing. We've got the mighty Mike Bumbeck at the drive and we're looking forward to hearing all about it in the next day or so.
