You'd shoot it on sight with a rocket gun because you drive a Roush.

boy people get real excited, I love it! I think another mod that looks great that I want to do on my saleen is the agent 47 mirrors and clear cornerns in the front w/ the xenon bulb. I guess the amber fog light bulb should be switched too for a more aggressive daytime running lite look. I've never been one for quarter louvers but I think I'm going to do the techco red butterfly ones since I've got a red theme going on.

Minus the 803 & the crooked emblem on the driver's fender that's a nice looking Mustang.
What's done to the motor to push that kind of power?
The base model Saleen's are only 315hp & slower than a GT. I was very disapointed when I test drove it. $55K for a high 14 second Mustang doesn't make $cents$ to me.
There was a Saleen at the track running low 15s to high 14s. I wanted to race him but he wouldn't. Guess he didn't want to get beat by a V6.

I test drove a Mustang GT then a base Saleen within 5 minutes of each other. The GT felt lighter/faster, then I drove home in my wife's modded V6 Mustang and 0-60 its faster then both thanks to the 4.10 gears.
