Opinions on this Mustang?

SARAFIL · 01-18-2005, 10:30 PM

I saw a couple of 2005 Saleen Mustangs on ebay that looked surprisingly aggressive. I like the overall look of the new Mustang, and I really like some of the things they did on the Saleen car.

What do you guys think about it?

If you buy that car, I'll eat my shorts with ketchup.

But seriously, I think it's pretty cool.

I said it looked kind of cool.

I said nothing about buying one...

Although I'm sure I would surprise alot of people if I pulled up in that one...

Saw the Saleens at NAIAS. They look very good, other than the giant Saleen banner which could quickly be removed.

The one problem with that car is that those wheels are 20s. I don't want to have to buy 20" tires.

I love everything forward of the rear wheels on the new Mustang. There's something wrong with the back end, though. Like there's too much sheet metal and paint. Not enough trim, or something. There's just something not right.

I don't care for that plastic trim between the tail-lights.

I agree.

On the Saleen, the tail treatment (especially the 3/4 angle) reminds me very much of a 'Cuda.

i'm projecting that there will be a mustang SVT in your future soon. whenever that m3 lease runs out.

Saleens haven't done much for me in the past. I've tended to like the Roush cars better, although their Stage 1 kit was mostly a body kit with a kick-ass side exist exhaust. This new one, though, isn't too bad.

There will not be an SVT Mustang in production when his M3 lease runs out...hence, his problems.
