Mustang (Saleen) Question....

I was driving home from work and saw what appeared to be a black Saleen Mustang... It was the newest shape, with the cute little hood scoop. It had Saleen decals, slight ground effects, Chromed Spoke Rims, and a few other little touches....

The thing is, it appear that it had the same Exhaust as the BASE V6 .... The one little pipe sticking out the rear driver's side at a downward angle....???? It sure didn't sound like anything special when he accelerated either, but he was driving Grandma style.... so it was hard to really tell

Was this a real Saleen or an imitation??

Some younger punk was driving it with his buddy.. I tried to get him to race me but he wouldn't bite, figured that would answer my question for sure... What do you guys think??

Hell, plenty of fakes have "all the right parts" and would look exactly like your picture. You can also order Saleens with the options of less bodywork and more bodywork as well...there isn't really one single model.

It looked exactly like that.. but I still think it was a Fake, the exhuast was a dead give away...

what kind of idiot would spend all that money on the conversion, and NOT change the exhaust???

I think Pull_t said best... "WHEAT"
