Not just another 'Stang....
...worse, another Saleen. They are putting out so many special editions that we are going to have to start giving them as much crap as we give Ford.
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/saleen/...t-ar60295.html It looks okay and all, and the performance is bound to be great, but it's still a Mustang underneath and who knows what this thing will cost. |

I'd rather buy a used 360, Gallardo, or GT3. at least unknowledgeable people wouldn't mistake my car for a regular GT with a body kit..

Technically...well....technically, it's all Saleen except the name. And, as far as fastest one yet....ummmm...yeah? So. How would anyone know that just looking at it? How would the average consumer differentiate it from the other hundreds of variations/editions on the road? They can't. This, while it may look nice and perform well, is just another Mustang to the vast majority of the people out there. Just tack it's name onto the (current) end of the never-ending list of "Mustang Editions". |

Could they add any more %$#@ to the body?!
 It looks like an overdone "PepBoys" special with all the "add-ons". Too "busy" looking IMO.

Why did Saleen cross the road?
He didn't. All his F-ing Mustang monstrosities were in the way. I almost wonder if the prices are so stupid high because nobody buys enough of them, that they have to recoup the investment within the first few sales.....

You know, I don't hate Saleens, I just have Steve Saleen, and to me at least, this car doesn't look half bad
 I really like the hood on it.

It is Ford's hope that the special edition mustangs will out number the GT's, thus causing the GT to, in effect, become its own special edition thus causing the Mustang universe to implode. Wait, maybe that's Dodge's hope.

I chuckled when I read this on the second paragraph:
"The Mustang Concept is powered by a upercharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine that delivers 720 hp and a peak torque of 670 lb-ft." "upercharged"...the next best thing.  Not to be mistaken for Ubercharged.

It could have been Ubercharged......
But then it's a Mustang, which is a Ford at heart. So chances are the 'b' came loose, and slipped forward; giving the impression of a 'p': Ubercharged. Upercharged. Aw well...  ........................
