Looks pretty good, like the wheels don't really like the ass end around the lights.

Sorry, don't really like it. There are elements that are okay, but overall it's kinda nasty. All of the aftermarket companies need to just forget their SN95 ideas altogether, they won't work on the S197 -- this is a new beast, it needs fresh thinking. What we keep seeing from Roush, Saleen, etc is just a rehash of what they did before.

Remove the spoiler and I can dig it! Although the Elenor kit looks better IMO.

Now I understand. I personally dont like it. The "Back to the track" video of the white one imo looked much better. I think Saleen missed it on this one.

I'm a little disappointed. Sure it looks OK, but if I'm going to buy a Saleen, I would expect a little more than 400hp out of the car.

From the Show that was on Discovery channel. "Extreme Mustang- back to the track". if you want a copy (on cd ) and you are in the area of AFP in Vancouver, let me know a day before you stop by. It was a cool show, but not shure when it will re-air.

I have to say this is THE first Saleen i have ever looked at and wanted in my garage. Well maby a s351, but i would much rather have the 05. That is one nice car. Too bad it will be way too over priced. Oh well its nice to have dreams i guess.

In my opinion, I think it's the best looking Saleen besides the 99+ S281/S351s. I HATE the new '05 with a passion, and the Roush makes it look even worse, but I would buy this car (well, or maybe the body kit) if I had money to throw around (and, uh, a reason) to build another car.

Even that, though, I don't think I would do. I like the 99-03s better. I think Phil Frank did a good job on this, though. Made an ugly ass car look pretty damn good! They did a good job on the interior, too. The seats are nice and the steering wheel center bezel is a nice touch, too. The back end kicks ass, just like the 99-03s.

Now, take out the junk, add a cage, and I'd think about it!
