Someone needs to add current chrome saleen wheels to the car, I believe that could have a good affect to the car.

Looks pretty good. At least doesn't have a huge bumper/ ground effects in the front end like the roush. Not sure what to think about the rear end. I'll tell you this-- it's pretty darn creative. It's kind of weird that they would change the basic shape of the car though.

I would like to see a se that plays along more with the theme of the retro styling that the 05 already has. Louvers, ducktail, and maybe a couple other small changes--not a total revamp of the car's styling with a bunch of gaudy ground effects. Basically keeping the design of the car clean--the way it was intended to be.

I can't say I wouldn't want one. Because It would be cool to have a different stang that the average joe but not worth it for the extra cash IMO. Performance aside - If someone said you can have a car that looked like the saleen or one that looked just like a regular GT I would have to think about it.

The new Saleen will start at $38,000 for the base 325hp and $45,000 for the S/C 400hp model.
thats insane. And the cobra will promptly stomp it(again) with a full warranty for less money. Guarantee those prices do not include the interior they will charge another $7k for

I was at work before and didn't have much time to type so let me share my feelings.

Back: Don't like at all. Lack of tri-lamps look odd on this Mustang. Center area under trunk release looks like they slabbed some tupperware on there! The center exhaust combo'd with the lower cutouts look like the same thing on the new Vette(Near the C6 back-up lights). The wing is just horrid.

Side: Not bad when the wing is gone. Wheels are too big IMO.

Front. Grill stinks. Looks like it came off a truck from the 80s. Hood is fine with me. Ground effects are better than the Roush.

Int: I think they nailed this part of the car. Those seats look nice.

Kevin hit the nail on the head IMO. When added to the New Edge design all the tacked on stuff at least flowed with the car's hard edges and creases. So far no company has shown anything that fits the retro style of the 05. I think they should have concentrated on making the bodykits a litte less futuristic.

BTW, if that is really the price for a 325 HP "base" car they better work on how it looks a little more.

Well, I don't like the rear wing at all. The front's ok, not a huge attraction to me but not bad. I LOVE the interior!

Leave off the rear wing and I wouldn't complain at all.

And in my view, it is WAY better than that Roush calamity!

I just noticed. I had originally thought the tail lights were two sections rather than three, but it looks like there is a cover on the inside portion of the stock tail lights. [/b][/quote]
there are at least 2 made-look at the picture with the reflection in the bumper

That actually looks like a BMW kidney grill to me. Plus the mirrors look to be painted. Nice try though.

Now the head-on view looks boxy. From the side shot the long hood and short deck look nice, but why does it seem it needs a longer hood in a head-on shot of this car. The flow seems to just fall flat on its face making it look rather square.

IMO: Ugly!

Front: not too bad...I could live with it. The fascia is nice, but the grille is hiney.
Side Skirts: pretty well executed
Wheels: I like the style, maybe a little big
Rear: this is by far the worst part of the car. Why would they make it longer? The O5's hiney was already sticking out far enough and they decided to make it stick out more?? The black "cover" also looks pretty awful too. I think this car needs bigger pipes out back, not wimpy ones like on this car. The spoiler is ridiculous. It looks like an afterthought.

Bottom line: I need three taillights, and I need someone to shorten off that back end by a good few inches. I think they need to go back to the drawing board.

I think the car looks great except from the front view. That grille just doesn't do it for me at all.
