Sure does looks like the Camaro a bit. But the Mustang definitely wears that dress a little better :thumbsup: I actually like it, nice and aggressive.

It does have slight Camaro resemblance. For me, the slimmer grill makes it look too wide. It could just be the angle though

Love it.
I can see that the shape kind of resembles the Camaro, but to me it doesn't look like a Camaro at all. The Camaro looks big and clumsy while this Saleen looks low and nimble.

Note: I really liked earlier Camaro's (think 90's), but I don't like current Camaro's at all, just looks "clumsy" and heavy.

TampaBear is spot-on with this one...sorry guys. This design is 100% 2010-2012 Mustang/Saleen and not the damned Camaro. If anything, my first thoughts were along the lines of "wow...they really must feel that a ton of people don't like the 'Fusion Coupe' front end and want something else. Bold move; they really must be sure of themselves".

I think it looks great, but would change the lower opening to include at least one body colored section where the carbon fiber inserts are. It's not perfect at all...but I think this has a ton of potential to prove that a smaller grill and more elaborate design would of and could have worked very well with the car.

I like it as well. Looks better than the stock front end... Which I thought was the least likable aspect of the resign. I'm not a fan of the big bulky retro looks, and the Saleen change makes it look mean and more aerodynamic.

Times have changed and Saleen no longer can get away with charging 25K for a set of slightly different front and rear bumpers and a bit of tuning. So they radically alter the appearance of the the car and that makes total sense to me. Can't say I dislike it either, it just doesn't really look like a Mustang anymore. Perhaps that will change once we see it in 360. Anyway good move Saleen. They know exactly where their spot in the market is.

Saleen's creature. Does it come with a clown suit and face paint? Why? Does it have a push rod engine too?

I don't know how they are going to pull of that hood and look, as the stock hood does not overlay the grill of the 15'. According to that picture the hood would close over the inside portion of the head lights creating a shadow/brow over the light. If not, that hood is going to be very tapered and v-shaped if they follow the lines of the front end and have it close over the grill in the center.

FYI Saleen, please lose the fake hood scoop design.
