I like it a lot, but it still needs more work. So far, it's the best looking tuner car out there. At least its better than the Roush. Just give me time and it'll start to grow more on me.

I can't say that I've really liked much I've seen out of the "tuner" cars. about the only thing I am seriously considering is a bonspeed hood, and maybe louvers. I'm not real big on the "bling bling" look

The Saleen is by far the best of the tuner cars... It has a very distinct look without being ricey and too juiced on mods. 
The only things I don't like are the spoiler which looks like it was glued on and does not fit the design... Also from the profile shot it looks like Saleen added and rounded out the back end making it look like the back end of the Vette??
Lastly, what is up with covering the 3rd-bar of the tri-bar breaks?

I've said it in another post but I'll happily say it again - the Saleen is a far more eye-appealing vehicle than the Roush but I don't care for the huge lawn chair sized wing.
The Roush looks too "added-on-to" and not like its form follows any sort of function. Sort of like "I think I'll bolt this on here and even though it's an obvious bolt on, I'm going to bolt it on anyhow!" design.
The Saleen looks much more well-designed and thought out. Well, except for that carport of a rear wing.

i love the wheels, ducktail spoiler, hood, color, backend, pipes....I hate the spioler on the ducktail, those orange lights near the headlights, and the lack of a good quality quarter window scoop or louver

I love the new saleen and will be buying one. I just got back from the show in cali and saw this car i up close and in person and it's twice as good looking that it is in pictures. The only thing that i'm not to hot about is the rear of the car with the black plastic in the middle of the tailights. I also didn't get to see the interior but from pictures the leather seats and gauges look nice. I wouls like to see an up close picture of the gauges though.
