Saleen Mustang Revealed?

The Hell-Cat Killer? kinda looks like the new hellcat charger in the front.

I cant believe that Saleen is still around after the financial reports they put out a while back.

The power is nice! But for me, the front end looks too plain and without style.... maybe in a SIM color I may see it in a different light.

I wouldn't call it a HellCat Killer. Saleen is an aftermarket build company. Similar to Roush, SLP, Lingenfelter, Hennessey...take your pick. If it's not a factory build, I wouldn't say it is a fair comparison. I like the looks of their stuff though. I am also surprised that they're still around with all the bankruptcy talk over the years.

I think it's an ugly car. It's not Saleen's fault though... Ford has ruined the Mustang's looks by modernizing it too much. I don't care how fast it is, if it doesn't look good, I don't want it. The speed limit is 70mph.

Sorry, not impressed with anything that's not factory. With enough money, aftermarket can make a turd go fast.

Agree 100%. A lot of 3rd party companies to choose from to make a factory car faster. We will have to wait for what for Ford (GT500/Cobra/SVT?) and Chevy (ZL1/Z28) will offer for their next Gens to actually see if a Hellcat killer is crowned.

Meh...I'll pass.

Who wants a overpriced aftermarket package from a company that will be out of business soon?

At first I thought it looked like the 2016 Camaro teaser pic from the side.
