different strokes for different folks but u need something to drive the family in on the way to those races right? why not a Saleen Explorer. If they can turn a F-150 into a lightning, an sonoma into a Syclone why not an Explorer to a Saleen? Not sure I see your reasoning over there...

Saleen really does do explorers, it doesn't necessarily mean its fake or anything.

fwiw, Saleen even did some rangers back in the late 80's


It's all about balance.

I could understand the logic behind a SVT explorer. A vehicle looks and performs better that stock, but the Name of Saleen is Race driven performance brand of vehicles, and by making a body kit to put on a SUV only taints the good name of Saleen. I only see it as a marketing gimmick but nothing more. To each there own opinion, I'm neither right nor wrong.

Well I can see where you're coming from now. But I think I'm one who could appreciate a truck like that. I remember seeing it for the first time at a dealership in a chicago suburb back in '98 and I thought it looked incredible. Did a little research after that and they boosted the performance and upgraded the interior enough to make it interesting. the price tag was pretty hefty though.

HellaHydra, being the lazy pile I am, I'll just ask you if you remember any of the spec's on it instead of searching yet.
