    It's an impressive updated salute to 'Stangs gone by.
    Now mind you, I've always been a true believer in Carrol Shelby's magical massage for the mustang.
    Shelby's GT 500 Super Snake.
    Over 525FP torque numbers, 725 horsepower, and Snakes.
    435 HP looks nice smoothly packaged in the Saleen version. I'd have to believe you could get that bumped into the 700 range without too much trouble.
    Lower is better/faster, unless it's because you forgot to check the TIRE and WHEELS options when you orgered you'r GT.
    I'm certain a good tuner could find you a little more boost from that twinscrew blower, and a slightly illegal change in the exhaust routing could get you in the 625 horses range, without blowing up every three months.
    The Saleen does give you about as good as can really be sold to J.Q. Public without him spinning out every-time as he tries to figure out how to come off a corner.
    The price is right.
    While I'd personally pass on the Saleen for the Shelby GT, it's mostly my love for Chromium Cobras.
    At any rate it is good to see some experimentation with the 'Stang that doesn't destroy the overall character of the machine.
    A worthy offering for any with it's upscale cleanness, rattle, and hum.

    It somehow manages to pull off boring and tacky at the same time.

    Surely a Saleen without the show is a no go.

    Ever since the new Mustang came out, I was hoping the Saleen rear end would fix the hideous tail lights...

    Fail...

    @Hi, I'm Scandinavian Flick and I: I couldn't agree with you more. I really like the look of the new front end, but those tail lights seem so Mustang II. I was hoping that the new design would have taken the tail lights from the original 2005 concept vehicle.

    @mr_dude: Dammit! I accidently unheart-clicked you while trying to promote the comment, and the heart went away completely... Is there anything not wrong with commenting 2.0? This is like the Windows Vista of commenting... No... worse... It's the Windows ME of commenting...

    @aSoundofSleep:
    Great lulz. And now mr dude's guide to determine what j2.0 is based on:
    ME - you installed j2.0 more than a month ago
    XP - each bug you identify is ignored or denied, but finally fixed three years later
    Vista - you haven't paid this month's Jalopnik gold subscription
    MacOS - you can only run it on opera, in a cafe with wifi, wearing square rim glasses
    UNIX - it's currently 2038
    Facebook - Syrax pm's you to claim you used to date in high school
    AIM - your roomie turned the j2.0 sounds on so you hear a stupid chime every time someone comments
    /b/ - everyone comment is a senseless meme
    Gizmodo - every article is really boring

    I'm gonna have to argue that he should have been in a Volvo. I have personal experience with a Gold 740 wagon launching off my front lawn and landing squarely in my house. Not only do you get the effect of a squared-off wrecking ball for maximum property damage, you are also blessed with a rear hatch for a quick and easy escape.

    Now, when it comes to the approach, ensure that you are traveling between 45-55 mph, and initiate a hard left. This will inevitably lead to incurable understeer, but fear not, as there will be enough rotation to hit the wall of the home at a near perfect 45 degree angle, simultaneously aerating the lawn and upending porch columns.

    It's really that simple. I've been seeing more of these types of accidents, and aside from the braniacs in the M5 launching off the end of a runway, I will stick to my case about those swedish bricks being the perfect car for abode-annihilation.

    Outstanding to the Pitfall screengrab. Loved that game.


    Did you guys (and gals) bother to look at the rest of the pics?


    HOLY SHIT!


    That kit must have been right under the speed of sound! He plows through a brick wall, then travels a bit, then over a reasonable sized pool, then continued traveling into the house, managing to do damage to the upstairs of the house and even knocked out a couple of second story windows!


    Michael Bay wished he could get major hoonage like this on tape.


    And I thought I was some kind of bad azz when I flipped that CJ-5 when I was 16 and got it back on it's wheels with a long branch and went on my way.
