The side photo and the interior looked great, but the front shot didn't do it for me. Kinda looked like a big mishmash of parts and doesn't tie in very well. And the big number on the door is too much for my taste. The white chin spoiler won't stay that way too long. Should go with black, especially because the side and rear skirts are also black.
And it looks like they gave it the GT500 lower bumper but not the facia. Doesn't match well.

On the plus side I like how they don't cover over the rear side windows, like on the PJ model, the FOUR exhaust pipes look very original,

I like the look of the PJ better....They better price it at less then 60k. They had the PJ priced in the 60's and many of the '07 still have not sold, one dealer in Irivine has had some priced at just under 50k for some time and they are not moving.

Side shot looks pretty good, but the rest looks too busy. [&:]

ORIGINAL:just like PJ Saleen it's going to be equipped with a watts link, which was known for its failure in the previous model.


wasnt a failure, there was a recall though (apparently an easy fix)
my car has a watts link installed from after the recall period and works like a charm

I love the color but I could do without the stripes.
