I'm sure its going to look great, but don't these things weigh 4300lbs from the factory? Plus I want to see what he does with the camaro.

Why would SMS need to sponsor this site? They get it for free. Everyone here knows Saleen since we all love Mustangs.

I wish SMS luck. They are going to need it in this economy and with both Ford and GM taking serious lumps. GM has zilch for operating cash and Ford has about 18 months left. I don't think these niche cars are going to be flying off the shelves anytime soon.

That said, not even SMS can save the challenger design in my mind. Just don't dig it.

regardless if it belongs here, the challenger is a sexy car (but not as good looking at the mustang)

My money is going to a new camaro or mustang. The challenger looks nice but I'm not a dodge fan.

Technically I should move this to the OT section, but I find it hard to do considering the 24+ years of what Steve did for the Mustang....and of course the cars we are all enthusiastic about.

Maybe there will be a "lifestyle" condom spin off of SMS which would explain all the bigger ***** advertisements on these forums. None of this explains why my superchargers rotating assembly is making more "normal" noise these days. That wasn't in the manual when I bought it. Erik

The important question is - have you lost any boost?
