With Roush Mustangs available from the Ford dealers and getting favorable copy in the magazines, you kinda had to think Saleen was on the back foot...

The new GT350 will be the last nail in the coffin. It is everything that Saleen had to offer, speed and handling, now directly from Ford.

Maybe it is the Rousch competition. And factory supercars in general are getting crazy power. Seems like Saleen has been around forever. I'd hate to see them go away and Im not even a big Mustang guy.

All the manufacturers got into the tuner special edition business. SVO,'s and Shelby marketing, SRT mopars, TRD, STi, smog legal factory tunes and accessories. GM seems to be the only maker without a dedicated special branch since the killed off the hi-perf group.

I always felt like of all the tuners, Saleen took the styling a step further, without losing the original personality of the car, their S281 NEw Edge cars, with the full extreme kit..body stuff, brakes, Supercharger, etc...would put down Terminators...and looked far more aggressive doing it.

I'm amazed by any outfits like that that stay in business for a long time.
Only uneducated suckers who don't know how to use the internet give them money. Paying someone to do the work for you is fine. But with places like Saleen, Lingenfelter, etc. you are literally paying double for them to plaster their name on your car, when you could have had the same quality work done by a shop of equal or greater competence for 1/2 the price. |
