I'm just curious what SALEEN would you rather own, not considering price, but design, styling and handling and power.

1. 2012 Saleen coupe(supercharged) if it were offered
2. 2012 SMS supercharged coupe
3. 2009 Saleen Extreme coupe

Hopefully when I have enough, I would like to own a coupe...but I can't decide. :confused:

btw...I want first dibs on your 302 Extreme "EXTREME302" when or if you're ready to let her go! Hopefully the timing will be right..LOL.

I'd take the 2012 SMS supercharged coupe, only because of Steve.

2012 SMS Supercharged coupe without a doubt!

I don't care much for the "Saleen" 2010+ designs.....2009 and older I like.
If the car is a 2010+ it has to be an SMS!

09 Extreme. The 2012 Saleen looks horrible, and for some reason the new body style just doesn't do it for me.

Dodge Challenger SRT. Oh, wait...sorry, just reread the post and realized that wasn't a choice on the list of three SALEENS to choose from. My bad. I apologize. In that case I will go with the 2009 Saleen Extreme Coupe.

2008 S302E. Of course, I am biased :wink: I know such minor details can be easily changed, but I prefer the full-size window banner of the '08s, rather than the small banner of the '09s. Hows that for not-picking? :biggrin:

I'm kinda partial to the looks of the 07. So I'd say 2007 Extream speedster.

Saleen12c, I'll let you know, but it would take a lot for me to sell her. BTW, do I get a vote here? :biggrin:

i don t get it.

That's because the SMS line is perceived to be the correct path of the Saleen heritage tree since they are built by Steve Saleen. However my opinion is the look of them are not flattering, it feels that they rushed the astetics of them and hence why it looks like the body parts don't do the car justice. The rear end in the SMS is FUGLY (I thought I would use the great new word used earlier on this post :b )

My vote is for the 2012 Saleen for me it has to be white.

Cheap plug :redface: i am looking for a white 2005-2007 Saleen coupe.

I'll vote for either an 2007 S281 Extreme or the 2008 S302 Extreme, both in a custom Saleen color. The 2007 since they were still produced in California and feature all the original Phil Frank/Steve Saleen design elements.

The 2008 for it being a natural progression and still features most of the original Phil Frank/Steve Saleen design elements (minus spine design seat covers).

Next would be any of the 2010 SMS 460s, 2011 SMS 302s, or 2012 Black Label Mustangs.

Sorry guys, no hard feelings after I race you all in my S7. :biggrin:
Second choice would probably be a Dark Horse, Victory Blue Speedster, or Beryllium Orange Speedster followed by an SSC.

The two I would not care for would be the 2009 (the one where a splitter, wheels, and decals were added) and the Hollywood Homicide Edition. The HH is a decent looking car and all, but I am not a huge fan of the larger graphics. JMHO.
