the thing is absolutely gorgeous. from afar it looks quite mysterious but up close and personal the stang looks like it could be in the same class as any exotic. its got a rouche fully bodykit the interior is so decked out with so many features makes even some of the more luxury brands like bmw & mercedez envious at its disposition.
this thing just absolutely gets everyones attention. my buddy let me sit in it and its like nothing i've ever sat in.
this is by far the most expensive car i have ever sat in and i wish it was mine smile.gif

jesus i'm so tempted to get one but i cant afford it. crap hahaha

just to let you know if you havent test driven one you should really consider it. could eat anything alive the car has balls. and you can always count on fords special saleen division to deliver the goods.

sweatingbullets.gif damn i'm sweating.. the car is hot!

Asking nicely with all the 'Peter' bashing thats going on if you nothing nice to say dont say it at all. thanks

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

making an overweight, over priced, under performing car? unless of course you get the 550hp one for $70k (thats with no options) which in that case you'd be better off getting a z06, which is a much better car.

Woah you're in love with this car aren't you? I doesn't seem like you've been exposed to many luxury cars, because from what I know Saleen Mustangs doesn't have many luxury features. Can you explain in more detail?

I don't know about the newest Saleens but my friend bought a new '98 Saleen Mustang back then and the interior looked almost the same as a Mustang GT (which he totaled before getting the Saleen). I think a few differences in the interior is the gauges, pedals, Saleen badge, shift knob, floor mats... I can't think of anything else.

Have you got any pictures?

I didnt think it was all that and a bag of chips. Interior felt cramped and cheap, the exterior was sinister in black but i dont think its even desktop-wallpaper material. Probably exciting for a whole 10 seconds to look at.

#s probably dont match up..with all that it only matches up to base corvette c6.

heres a pic for you guys:

NOW this is what i'd like

the shelby also got owned in a comparison test with the base c6 vette. i didnt know it weighted almost 4000 lbs... mustangs are crap boxes. for the money of those mustangs i would rather get a vette.

4000 pounds? Damn. How much does a Corvette weigh? Those things are gorgeous. I wouldn't mind a C5 or a C6.

of course it'd get owned, a mustang is a pony car. A vette is a legitimate sports car. Its almost two different demographics their reaching out to, the 1/4 mile and the track.

mustangs are crapboxes but pure gems to those who can craft it, with the biggest aftermarket following in the world bar-none. You can say the same about the vette being a poor man's exotic.

id be more willing to bet more people with vettes have been to the drag strip than the track

at least the vette is fast

they are two comparible cars. they both cost about the same. the mustang has 500hp, and the vette 400hp. they are both marketed like the ultimate american car. people will cross shop the two. its a fair test that the vette wins hands down

have you even drive a saleen mustang before start to make your bias reviews? this car is so much better than the corvette. corvettes are damn good cars nonetheless but the saleen is mustangs prime showoff car that smokes most cars in the car markets with the acception of ferrari, lambo,

you can tell just by sitting in the car?

even if you are a magazine racer, the numbers should pursuade you to think otherwise... but i guess it doesnt so that makes you ignorant

wow you are such a tool its not even funny. ok so your precious saleen (probably not even the "extreme" one) smokes the vette but not lambos or ferrari's. but the z06 vette can smoke ferraris and lambos. your logic seems off.

There's no point in trying to convince this kid otherwise...Saleen Mustang is nice, but not worth the price at all, it doesn't have the best performance either, so his over exaggeration on this car shows that this is the best car he has ever had a chance to sit in so far. Luxury cars are luxury cars, sports cars are sports cars. Hands down, anyone would go for the vette instead.

YO83123 your views on good cars is as good as your post on Love and Relationships... poor.
