Well that's going to cost a pretty penny, I too like the black tailgate styling, it's very stylish. I like parts of the lower body kit but I'd prefer to mix and match parts from different kits. The sideskirts are pretty nice, would like to see how they'd look on a lifted truck. I can't wait to see the interior. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is a Saleen Brand Supercharger right and has no relation to the Whipple? Why haven't I heard about this, just another future option, I hope it's relatively cheap but being Saleen, I've never even heard cheap used in the same sentence.

Uh oh..... Lightning replacement?
Like the front end (grill, fenders, slight cowl on the hood, etc.), but that exhaust looks small. Keep the rims big though. Don't really like the the back end (minus the bumper).
It's impressive, I can't wait to see it myself (at a bit over $30,000 hopefully, but most likely add $20,000 to that)

Im curious to see how much more it will cost then a HD. Im sure it will be pricy. The Saleen Stangs can cost a pretty penny(depending on what stage/level) but the resale may be good??? Time will tell.

The Saleen Supercharged Sport Truck packs a punch at 450 bhp @ 5200 RPM,
and with 500 lb-ft of torque @ 4000 RPM which is due in part to the unique,
patented, high-flow Saleen Series VI integrated twin-screw supercharger.
Here, air is compressed through the twin screws and then runs through the
dual-stage, water-to-air intercooler, which reduces the intake air
temperature. With this cool, dense air, the Saleen Powerflash(TM) performance
calibration system radically increases the power and performance.
In recognizing the trend of consumers wanting more choices, the Saleen
Sport Truck will be offered as a normally aspirated, 3-Valve Sport Truck,
which offers 325 bhp @ 5000 RPM, and with 400 lb-ft of torque at 4000 RPM.
And heres what they say about the pricing...not to bad. Lets hope it stays that way when it hits the dealers.
Pricing
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 3-Valve Saleen Sport
Truck with standard equipment is expected to start in the high $30,000's, and
the Supercharged version is expected to start in the high $40,000's.
