Would you rather have the tacked on body crap they call a Roush?

The new Saleen owns :rockon:

yeah it's till sunday, it sucks you don't get to sit in it but it's still a bad ass car to see in person, they also have some nice benz's and bimmers there as well, not to mention the GR-1 cobra. Enjoy, i'm trying to findout how to get "E" they won't be around till spring but am wondering if april is too late to order one.

ugly as shit...seriously, these aftermarket '05 Stangs look absolutely silly and tasteless. They remind me of pimped out Mustang II's :nonono: The front end is horrible...I mean look at that grill - WTF is that?:??: The rear wing is even worse :xpl: hell, I've seen a sexier rear on Star Jones. Honestly, this cars styling keeps looking worse and worse to me...I really hope that SVT can work a miracle with the new Cobra.

The Saleen is the best looking tuner '05 so far but it is FAR from perfect. The grille is fugly, belongs on a Ford 500 not a Mustang and what is up with the rear spoiler? Looks like two flounder's mating, nasty. The lights in the upper grille area need to go and the wheels belong in the trash heap. Rear quarter window treatment is also poor, need a set of tasteful louvers. Finally, replace the hood with Steeda's and you've got one seriously hot 'stang. Just my $.02

maybe it's just gonna take some time to get used to. Have you guys seen it up close in person? If not then i am almost 100% sure your opinions will change once you do.

So for the car is nice. The wheels are to big and are fugly. Interior is amazing, looks are great, saleen did an absolutely great job. And there gonna be pretty fast too.

all the 05's are gonna take some getting used to

still more of a 99-03 guy:coolman:
the 05 s281 looks good from the side..
:shrug:
yeah most all of us will get used to it...

the 3/4 c-pillar mod cleans it up a little bit..
(the 4/4 window whatever u wanna call it is what really throws the cars lines off...

and :beer: to saleen for dropping the oem gt foglights...
if i was handed an 05 first thing id do is get rid of the fogs..
yeah just my opinion...

btw how much power are these gonna make??
an additional 15hp???
heh..
(a pretty quick car for sure, just pretty sad how little extra punch the base model s281 has over an oem gt))
