Saleen is in the business of dressing up GT's.

I think he means it's too simple. But that's kinda what I like about it...simple but different. No excessive louvers, etc.

Actually, on second thought, the SMS Mustang does look pretty badass! I'm sure you're proud, Sean.

I like the front bumper, the rest is "meh". Did anyone notice the performance times in press release?

The 2011 SMS 302 4V will accelerate from 0-60 in under 4.5 seconds and pass the quarter mile in 13.5 seconds at a speed of 116 mph. The SMS 302SC numbers are even more impressive with a 4.3 second 0-60 and a quarter mile in 12.1 seconds at 119 mph.
So the SMS 302 4V has more horsepower than a standard GT, but it's slower...

I don't like the overly large 3rd brake light.
and the exhaust is...well, different... I'd get over it tho.
So overall, and as a whole inside & out- I like it.
