I am wanting a 2005 Mustang, but would like to have something other than a GT. I want a Cobra, but don't want to wait that long. Does anybody know anything about the new Saleen? I think that may be where I am headed.

To the best of my knowledge, the Saleen won't be out until early-mid 2006; April-May.

I would be (pleasantly) surprised if saleen's vehicle development was that far ahead of Ford's as far as a high performance version is concerned.

Sorry, my bad; I meant to say April/May 2005 and typed 2006 instead. But you say end of 2004... even better! I stand corrected! Woo Hoo!

Not that this proves they are ahead or not. But they did do the build on the GTR. So we know they had to have an 05 in thier shop for a while. Then there are people that are supposed to have heard from Saleen about it's debut in september. And with rumor of 10 supercharged engines being build at the essex plant. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence. Now whether it happens or not is another story. But if it's happening. We should know by SEMA.

From what I have heard they will have it unvailed in September at the Saleen Show. I can't wait to see it!

I would expect to see some big changes with the stock car before Saleen is done with it.

Not only do they have the GTR that they built but you also have the new Ford GT that is also being built for Ford by Saleen.
