2014 Saleen 351 Mustang unveiled
Saleen showed off the very first 351 Supercharged Mustang today:

Still no word about what is the base for the 351 V8.

Yeah Saleen almost always over does it with the cuts and body kit, guess they just want it to stand out.

I think it will rock. I'm just sad that they refuse to fix the tail light gap! Yes it's a prototype but come on...

Well, that car is an automatic, so it would have to be based on the 5.0, wouldn't it?
I didn't think Ford had an auto that bolted up to the 5.8 ...

That's way to much. The color is gorgeous. But I don't like all the body work

Idk, to me, Saleen lost everything it had built up when he sold. Then did the SMS thing, then said "Oh, wait, I want that back now."

Old School Saleen's were great, but this new stuff? I'll pass.

The rear bumper is too. Looks like they used a base 10-12 overall... Then taillights used 2013. Lame.

That's a 10-12 SMS bumper. I know they are fabricating the 13s... Well I thought they were?

They may be holding off for 15...

Here's some more pics. Just curious to see if you can detect other imperfections.

Yeah I meant it was based off a 12... Hence the gap. But yeah, that's bad
