New Saleen S281 Shots 10/22

Looking pretty good so far, IMO. We'll have to wait until SEMA to know for sure, though.

Edit: I should mention that these pics are from Saleen's Facebook page.

Heck yeah, man! IMO, the new Saleen already looks better than the SMS offering!

Hmmm from that angle I think it makes the car look very Challenger-like. Idk if that's good or bad, thoughts?

I really like the rear. We'll have to see it on the full car to really have a feel for it, but thus far, I'm a fan.

I was just looking at this again and noticed they got rid of alot of the fussiness and diapery look of the rear. I hadn't really looked that closely before.
So far Saleen is A-1 in my book. Man I never thought I'd be saying that LOL
I'm even ok with the funky exhaust tips

Hate the rear...maybe I'll post that repeatedly for six months. :-)

It does look Challenger-esque, IMO.

And that would be your right should you desire.

I like the upper portion of the rear a lot, but as a whole it seems like it will be excessively chunky and slab-sided. Will have to wait to see it in person. The front seems a bit bland to me, but it might not when everything is put together.

SEMA is going to be great this year!!!!!
