This car isn't worth parting with 44K plus 3K tax!! The motor is NA and puts out 300 @ rear wheels. You would get a better handling faster car with the C6 Vet for a few more thousand. Also you would be better off waiting for the Cobra. If I put 15K into a GT over its cost I could make a better looking and faster car then the Saleen.

Not a big fan of the 05 Saleen or the wheels they chose...
However they sure got the Wheels/Tire gap and offset right on the mark to how it should look from the factory.
Anyone have info on the spec's of the offset for those rims.?

I am really liking the Saleen more and more every day. I thought the Sonic Blue was a great color for it, but the White makes the car look so clean, and smooth.

Keep in mind... you're paying for a bit more than a body kit. Granted, it's not anywhere the deal the Cobra probably will be but you are buying a Saleen.... which depending on how you feel about that, buys you the name, the exclusiveness, the resale value, the bragging rights, yada, yada, yada.
Not saying that is or is not a good thing, but to some, it can be a big deal. I've met quite a few Saleen owners and they seem to like the idea of being in a relatively small, exclusive group of specialty car owners.

I'd have to agree. Everyone and their brother will have a mustang GT or V6 *cough* model .. Owning the Saleen will defintely put you in another "more exclusive" club . Well put ..
I think the black saleen on ebay looks wicked. But will see what the 07 cobra will look like in a couple of months. No doubt I will be trading my 05 for the cobra.

I think Saleen has Made several mistakes recently. The Sonic Blue Saleen on E-Bay that was posted here, didn't have the Blackouts on the inboard tail lights, but did have the Saleen Trim on the Rear Quarter Window. And after looking at the pics of it, i believe all it is is a trim piece mounted over the stock Quarter Window. I prefer the Stock Look of the Quarter Window over the Saleen Trim, because I like how it just has a Clean Edge, and No Gasket. Same with the Rear window, Ford made it with No Gasket.

I like the Saleen extended rear profile, but I don't like the supercar grill section they put in there.... I plan on moving the plate down to the bumper (standard position) and leaving off the Saleen trim on the tailgate.
