Re: What looks worse 05 Saleen or 05 Roush

The Roush by far. People cry Rice way to often. But thats it if ive ever seen it, 300hp+ be damned. Another thing that was upsetting was that the only thing they provided early on was that ****ty photochop, the choppers on the stang board I was on did things worlds better than that, for no purpose other than there own amusement. They were not trying to sell a product.

The Saleen is a little better, less busy. Which for Saleen says a lot.

Steeda's is the best so far IMO.

I totally agree. However, I do like the MRT and CDC Mustangs somewhat as well.

The Saleen is actually growing on me, without the stupid decklid spoiler (since it has a nice little slip spoiler under there) it would look pretty damn sweet IMO...

Re: What looks worse 05 Saleen or 05 Roush

I don't like the roush at all. I kinda like the saleen though. When i first saw the new stang i thought to myself "what on earth can Roush and Saleen work with THAT?". Admittedly i'm surprised so far that the body kits don't look worse than they are. Saleen got rid of the quad lamps and put some smaller fogs there, they are the clear winner here.

Me thinks you don't know what rice is. It may be ugly, but if it has power, it isn't rice.

I'd say Saleen is my favorite, but would also take off the wing. Steeda could possible win me over assuming their one version so far didn't have that horrendous paintjob. The Steeda wing would definitely have to go, too. Roush just f*cked up.

There isn't enough horsepower in the world to justify that...

Indeed it may be ugly, but the word rice is incredibly over-used.

Re: What looks worse 05 Saleen or 05 Roush

I like both very much....and thats saying a lot considering I don't find the new Mustang considerabley attractive, nor any Mustang ever for that matter. But these new Roushes and Saleens are freak'n great looking. A huge improvement over the last generation IMHO.

Call me crazy, but I like the Roush stang a lot better than the Saleen.

Re: What looks worse 05 Saleen or 05 Roush

The Saleen outside of that wing actually looks pretty sweet.

Oddly, the Roush is growing on me. Still far from a fan of it, but now that i look at i've looked at the pics for the 6th or so time, it doesn't look as horrible as i thought it did my first time seeing it. Outside of that huge front bumper thingy, it isn't that bad. Maybe in time, i'll actually warm upto to it.

Re: What looks worse 05 Saleen or 05 Roush

I love the Saleen. If I had to get a 05 Stang, the Roush would be it.
