Saleen came through. That car looks ten times better than the Roush. Is that satin...or a custom color?
Well, that's an actual car it seems and the Roush is a chop You would think it would look better then a chop right, but yeah it looks better at the moment...I like it

Looks like it will have ground effects similiar to the 99+ cars. That's probably a Saleen special color as well, or just a horrible picture of factory silver. Other than that, I can't see anything much of anything.

Looking at the picture I am wondering if someone happened to have the beer goggles on or if someone is just teasing us. No one likes as tease

A blurry picture is better than no picture. It does show some promise though!!

I think it looks good, blurry or not. Plus, its not a conspiracy we have discovered. It will be available everywhere soon enough.

I saw it for all of about 20 seconds before they closed the curtains, and trust me that's the Saleen. it is factory silver. no fog lights in the grill, they updated it. it is no longer a honeycomb pattern, it the same design, but with squares instead of that hexagon shape, no emblems.

as far as the hood goes, you can't tell from the picture but there are two "vents" in the hood with little black grill looking covers. It looks more like they cut the holes out and inserted these little black grill covers in it. it doesn't look like a totally new hood.

rims were also silver, with 5 spokes, each being a split spoke design.

and the rear spoiler was low, and sat on top of the rear decklid only. it did not wrap around to the sides like the current Saleen spoilers.

Wow, the way you describe it, I just may like this Saleen! I'll take a stab at sharpening up the pic now.

Sounds and seems to looks pretty sweet.

One thing that gets me is that I always used to like how Roush's were always tasteful looking and not rice at all. But seeing Roush's new 05 rice car, i became to dislike that company.

As for Saleen I always hated because to me their designs always look like cheese grators on wheels, but from what I can make out from that picture, it doesn't seems to have that cheese grator look to it. Maybe I'm wrong because of the drunk-o-vision but I really like that design. Steve Saleen definatly scored big time with that design.

They're just lucky someone else didnt take the pic with a better camera.

Its really fuzzy and hard to make anything out... could of gotten a very clear picture...

Looks cool though. Is that a mod or you have to buy the car that way?

I don't think anyone is going to get in hot water over this pic, because it really doesn't show much since its so blurry.

I look forward to SEMA!

Camera phone I take it? The blurry rendition looks better than Roush already, as much as that pains me to say it. Saleen used to be the ricey looking one
What he said

Nice . . .good tease!!

I think the 'powers that be' will let the photo slide.

Real Photo+Blurry Image+Huge Interest=More interest in Saleen.
