I can't really say anything that hasn't been said. The Rousch is butt and the Saleen is alright.

One of my friends has the current gen Mach 1 and another, the cobra. Both look much better than these.

That Saleen rocks my world. Give it a year and they'll be out w/ a S281-E w/ over 500 hp.
That car definately does "it" for me though. Classic Muscle Car looks with the niceities of a modern vehicle.
I'd definately buy one.... but then again, I'm a poor college student that considers eating big as going to Wendy's and perusing the 99cent menu.

Wow, I thought they were done with the phony POS hood scoop on the Stangs. The Roush is utterly offensive, while the Saleen does better but still the stock looks best to me...and that's not saying too much. I do like how Saleen got rid of those retarded lights in the center of the grille, that was a screw up by Ford IMO.

Default New Stang

I'm a fan of muscle cars but the new mustang does nothing for me. I look at it hard and imagine a nip here and a tuck there and it'll be alright. In present form, I wouldn't even drive it as a rental.

the roush looks like a riced out piece of crap. Its a shame too, becuase they current Roush's are a work of art. I have two friends that have them, a stage 2 HT and a stage 3 Convertiable. They both are just awesome. Now Saleen looks like they struck gold... again. They repeatedly make the mustang look fan-freaking-tastic!

Never liked Mustangs (except the early muscle cars). If I had to choose, Saleen would be the obvious choice.

Ford Mustangs are nice muscle cars, but Ford interiors fall apart after a year or so. Even their top of the line LIncoln Navigator, the interior started to fall apart in a year. I can't speak of the Saleen, but I just hope it would be better granted the price of those darn things.

The majority of stranded vehicles were Fords during my 5K miles summer vacation.

nope, certainly no closed minds in this room.

The Saleen isn't bad at all, but that rear spoiler is indeed ugly.


Remember that there are PUH-LENTY of Lexus body kits that are Fugly too!!
