hope he turns things around. Make Saleen's a more unique product rather than just supercharged or CAI'd Mustang GT's.

Exactly. And he can start by making sure the S5S Raptor sees production. Man I love that car!! (can't wait to see the interior)

Yeah.

To spice up their Mustang line up, the should offer something different that no one else does. Like what they did with the S-351. They offered a 5.8L and a 6 speed. Which was something not offered in the Mustang outside of the '95 Cobra R. What I always thought would be cool, would be to drop the NA 7.0L V8 from the S7 in a Mustang. Call it a S-427.

that's not a bad idea at all. there's always a market for mustangs with bigger engines. Hell they could even drop that 650hp 5.0L V8 that's in the raptor in a mustang

They already do. It's the S-302E motor.

You're right! but it only makes a measly 620hp instead of 650hp
