Considering the Saleen weighs substantially more than the lightning, it is n extendedcab.. it is damn impressive.
13.8 is faster than any magazine reported the Lightning.

I'd say it is faster!
It is definitely a step above the lightning in quality and fit and finish.
have you looked at the gaps on your dash lately?

they are all over ebay. not sure I'm sold on the looks though. the 23's look good but the front and rear are kinda strange.

I think it looks pretty cool but I wish they had made it a regular cab like the lightning. I realize it’s more practical as an extended cab but I just love the sporty look of a regular cab, but I do still like the S331 and I hope to pull up next to one at a red light.

I like the looks of the truck. Performance is good considering it is bigger and heavier than the Gen 2. The price is high but Saleen and Roush have always been high. I just wish they made it in a full 4 door for guys with families.

I spose the looks would grow on me but first impression is it looks like a converted family truck.

3 valve and screw compressor make the HP difference. Wonder what rods there using?

I see they didn't waste time with fog lights hehehehehe

I'm happy with what I have for form and function.
If I was going Saleen I would stick with the stang. That looks fun and would look great next to my o4 L
