I was just checking out the saleen web site when I seen the new 2005 Mustang Saleen. I wish I could post some of the pics but I don't know how to do it. It looks way better than the Roush! I think I'm going to buy one instead of the new Vette. Somebody please go to the Saleen web site and post some of the pics in here to show how sweet this thing looks. Looks like Saleen saved me from going from a Ford to Chevy!!!!:lol:
2005 Saleen is here!!
- Thread starter HONBOY1
- Start date
Or you could just look at the post that was above this with the new pictures of the Saleen... 
I didn't see it, sorry! I was just too excited! The interior is awesome compared to the regular gt!
"And for the S281 E, which will be introduced next spring, the engine produces a mind-boggling 500 horsepower. Now you know why the E in the name stands for Extreme.
:thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
Extreme, the real bad boy from Saleen was killed in 99 and it had 500hp starting back in 95(maybe 94).
I think I'm in love!
Taillights are a major improvement!
Although I myself would likely move them inboard a bit more - meaning the outside taillight is the one I would cover up instead... maybe...

yeah I agree..Saleen needs to deep six the rear spoiler, appears to be added as an afterthought.
The Saleen is light years better than the stock form in the picks here. You can tell that they tried to tone down the King Cobra front and Capri backend a little.
Didn't notice the wing...
I see a beautifully sculpted lip style spoiler integrated into the body, however, and I think that looks great... Just take off the afterthought

The wing is tastefully done, unlike the old school one on the stock model. I may do a photocrop of the new "old" saleen and integrate some terminator parts into it.
Take a guess as to how it's going to look. :rockon:

Ditch the wing (but keep the ducktail), the grille (open intake), the mini foglights, and replace the FUGLY wheels for something like the current 5 star Saleen's. Then it might look decent.
Much better looking than the than the Rousch, looks a ton better without the lights in the grill, I don't mind the wing but the wheels are a little boring...
The wheels would be a MUST GO item, the nose isnt bad except for the treatment of the lights...the area above the bumper is lacking...lights seem too small and grille doesnt look right...wing is an undecided-have to see it in person. Overall very nice

It looks too busy to me...almost ricey (in a domestic sort of fashion). Maybe its just the ugly wing. Its not fluid and sleek like previous cars, but I guess you have to consider the starting point. I do like the interior though, very much. The mustang needed a better interior more than anything IMO. Overall its not a bad looking car, I guess I just expected something more jaw dropping from Saleen. Definitely don't like the wing, and the wheels could be better. Can't wait to spank one!
I like it. :thumbsup: Definitely could do without the top wing, though. I like the ducktail, but the wing just makes the rear end look huge and cluttered. The wheels aren't bad. I think you all would be 'ooooohh'ing and 'awww'ing if they were chrome. Overall a nice looking car. However, if I were to buy a new Stang I would go for the retro look. Torq-Thrust wheels, retro (small) wing, and a nice hood. At least it's easy to see that there is a lot of potential in the new Mustang.
