The Saleen Focus is TERRIBLE. Ugly body kit. And why did they just slap on N2O and not use a turbo or even a Jackson supercharger (which they have already developed for the Focus)?
And $26,000?! You can almost buy an Evo or Sti for that price. Does it compare in performance to them? Not even close!
The Saleen Mustang doesn't look too bad but it is overpriced.

Ford shouldn't be ashamed Saleen should.... the new Saleen Mustang is ok but any sign of it being a Mustang has been replaced with "Saleen", the new Roush at least keeps some of the emblems. The Saleen Focus is nice but way overpriced..... Saleen needs to drop the price of increase the goods a lot!!!

Yeah yeah, they're ugly... whatever.


I'm more interested as to why the red one costs $10,000 more than the rest of them?

Ummm...I have one thing to say. For all you who say the Focus looks riced out are you kidding me? I mean it's a god damn four cylinder. What do you think they are going to do with it. That Focus is meant to run with Civic's, Integra's, and all them other ricers.

IMO the saleen focus is a joke. I would hope anything with saleen name on it would be fast, which the focus isn't, and the body kit is way to much. The should have made a saleen focus turbo awd, or at least turbo, or not made one at all.

Never in my life would i pay that for a GT with exhaust, a body kit, and UGLY ASS WHEELS!!

Looks like a "GT" with a built block and 500hp (flywheel) = S281E
Then again, I could be wrong.

I think it looks sweet. But I still wouldn't pay that much, though...

:rollseyes
What does it being a 4 cylinder have to do with an ugly body kit?

"All them other ricers"?? You have something against import cars I take it? There are some pretty quick "ricers"...like the Evo and Sti...which by the way are more commonly compared to the Cobra and other quick domestic cars...not a Focus, Civic, etc.
Point I'm making is that the Focus is in the same price range or very close to the same price range as cars, domestic and foreign, that will smoke it in every aspect (looks, handling, braking, power)...

I personally think Roush did a much better job with the new body style Focus than Saleen. Just my humble opinion...someone can post pics if they'd like.

I have nothing against ricers really. What I said had nothing to do with the body kit, it was just that a couple comments were made about it being rice. Well in my opinion, it's american rice. The only point I was trying to make was that it should not be such a surprise that the Focus looks riced out.

It has some body kit upgrades and a supercharger
