351ci huh?? I wonder how they managed that.. The only thing that I can think of is that they used a new GT500 motor which is a 5.8L and 355ci so a little to much..

If they use a pushrod motor that would be sick!

Looks like a Roush.

More power than the GT500 guys, hmmmm. I hope he puts a decent size and brand tire on this car. Ehhh who am I kidding, I am sure he will throw a 285 on there and call it a day.

He needs to start making the parts again for the older models since the brand all but abandoned the community it started.

Nice cars we have 1 Red 351 and 2 White Saleen 302's here in SouthWestern Michigan.
The Saleen 302 package is very slick looking and $10k extra

I bet this car will be 15K more than a '13 GT500 and will still be based on a GT.

GT500>s351 IMO

needs a different front end, better wheels, and some custom interior besides just the logo sewn onto the headrest. hopefully they do something good with this.

LOL, I'd take a new edge S351 over any new edge model.

As far as the new S351, I'll reserve judgement until more specs are released.

Saleen really fell off when it comes to Mustangs. All i ever see is Roush's. I think they are to busy with Challenger's and Camaro's.

Exciting =)

Would be interesting to see a S351 based on the V6 chassis like the old days and making more power than all the factory Ford Mustangs.

Whoever is in charge of the wheel designs at Ford needs to be fired and never allowed to touch a computer again...

A 351ci motor with DOHC would be a monster in itself so I don't think they should use a supercharger at all. Either way can't wait to see the final result

Or they could have a N/A versions and a Supercharged version like they did back in 94-98, 99's were all boosted.
