What ever happened to the Special Vehicle Team? Nothing like a SVT Lightning with a revamped look of the newer series. The name Saleen should stay with the Mustang. Not the F150. SVT Lightning belongs slapped on the side of the F150. 
That engine in that thing doesn't sound that impressive. Not only that, but something about it doesn't really have the urge to "want it" as much as a SVT Lightning for some reason. It might be my tastes... but it sure doesn't hit me like Lightning. If I had the choice between that, or a SVTLightning, I'd take the Lightning hands down... something about it being "proven".
Just my $.02!

SVT was (or mabye still is) a part of FoMoCo... Saleen is an external company that purchases ford cars, rebuilds them, etc. They are not part of Ford...Originally Posted by ManualF150

You might be aware of that, but what you said above seems to indicate you aren't.
