I haven't followed the Saleen much lately as things are pretty quiet over there. I'm really surprised they haven't stepped it up to compete with Roush.

Good points, that is why I am liking the Boss 302 more and more

Its kind of crazy to think about. I think the new Dodge Caravan has like 283hp or something. Who needs that in a minivan?

After Steve Saleen left, the company hasn't been the same. It seems to be going downwards, while Roush just keeps on moving forward without missing a heartbeat.

It's a nice rounded package isn't it!

I agree but it's funny as Steve's new company SMS hasn't really done much either. The Boss is a very well rounded package for sure. I've always been about the big power and the GT500 but after riding in a Boss on the track I really have a new appreciation for the Boss.

I would really really consider a new car/toy from Ford if say they came out with a Boss packing the 6.2 either s/c or turbo
