My buddy has a 5.0 Saleen Explorer, but it is hard to tell other than the Saleen stitched in the seats, and 17" wheels. It must be the long grain Saleen SVT Explorer rice steamer I've heard whispered around the water cooler. "Talking is masturbation without the mess"...Our Lady Peace.. This is my car....

The E-bay picture of the engine bay should give some indications that it isn't a real Saleen anyway. Look at the 5.0 V8 logo. Remember what the SVT and Saleen logos look like on their UIM? Not like that... '99 Contour SE V6 w/MTX (Black Clearcoat) '02 Dakota 4.7L V8 2WD X-Cab (Flame Red Clearcoat)
