Saleen Inc. hits the quarter century mark next year, and they're already celebrating. At the Dallas Auto Show today they unveiled the "Sterling" edition of their S302 Extreme. The Sterling edition is limited to a production run of 25 vehicles and will be mechanically identical to the "standard" S302 Extreme — if "standard" can be used to describe a Mustang with a supercharged 5.0L engine pumping out 620hp and 600 lb-ft of torque with accompanying upgrades of everything. The Sterling adds a special silver paint, unique wheels and an upgraded interior featuring "couture" leather. Each of the 25 purchasers will be flown to Detroit where' they'll receive the royal treatment and receive a photo book showing every step involved in "birthing" their baby. It can be yours for just $20k over the price of the plebeian S302 Extreme– a mere $101,545. Now, if all our readers would just send me one dollar each…

Pass. I’d rather buy a GT-R with the markup for that much.
Saleen: The Velveeta of Mustang customization.
Not bad.. HOWEVER:
I’d much rather have a Roush-designed Mustang (specifically: ‘Stage 3′) than any Saleen variant.
IMO, Roush does a much better job w/ Mustang customization.
Now, if all our readers would just send me one dollar each…I would only need to raise the other $100,000 myself.
On the contrary, I think Saleen is far and away the best tuner of the Mustang and Ford vehicles in general. Their operation, attention to detail and all-around performance improvements are impressive. Their Parnelli Jones Edition Mustang is easily my favorite new Mustang variant, and one of my most favorite Mustangs of all. I’m curious to see if the company really branches out to tuning the upcoming Camaro and other GM vehicles.
looks good.
My favorite new sports car: Saleen Raptor

Now that looks like a great car…the S5S Raptor.
It didn’t get any coverage on TTAC yet did it?
Shame because it is looking like the best US car effort in years/decades, although, there are no pics of the interior plastics/design yet which could mess everything up again.
Saleen cars make me want to puke – they’re uniformly disgusting. At least Roush doesn’t look ridiculous, and they do some nice suspension mods.
uh oh a LIMITED PRODUCTION RUN, better call Barrett-Jackson!
