What makes it so interesting to me, is that it doesnt exist! Things like that make me want them more, like a really fine girl that has a BF, you cant have her, so you have to think about being with her.....does that make sense?
Who remembers why Saleen was having problems with the engine? What engine were they using? Any specs? Can someone PM me this info?

Simply put, if it was any good in the first place, it would have been made...

Yeah? then i guess if the contour was any "good" it wouldn't have died, right? Originally posted by Milan007:

On the plus side though ...a unique (among contours) exhaust setup. For now....

Complete rice. Hmm, most people on here seem to like the SVT's without the door ding dtrip, so why add stuff? Sorry, it's ugly. Typical Saleen, overstyled. I disagree, I think the Saleen Mustang is styled perfectly. It has an aggressive look without being too gaudy.

The one thing that I like about it, besides the rims, is the center exhaust, but the tips should be wider, well if it were up to me they sure as hell would be

My opinion will vary from the rest. I think that if all of those added "components" were actually functional, i.e. the wing, rear valance and front facias, then I would say okay. But, if it didn't, the only thing it did in my eyes was add weight.
The whole reason why I like the SVT is because of what some of you describe as an ultimate sleeper. This "body kit" ,if you will, just draws to much attention, and to me, it's the wrong attention.
I hope some will agree, that we bought this car to stand out from the rest, but having something like that would throw us in the same category as what all of us make a mockery of everyday.
I give Saleen credit for their creativity, but I do not think it does the car any justice..
Again, this was just my opinion.
