Warning: have a valid man-card before pressing down on these performance driving pedals! This stunning 2005 Saleen S281- car number 191 - is truly impressive and extremely fund to drive!

For Mustang fans, it doesn't get much better than hearing Steve Saleen say he's "Reunited with the Saleen brand". The car's super straight body displays a glossy layer of Saleen Silver metallic clearcoat that, judging by its smooth appearance, has been maintained with the utmost care.  This car is a 100% accident-free showpiece that's been barely broken in. .... there's essentially nothing on the car that could be considered more than prerequisite shelf wear.

So if you're looking for an exclusive muscle car that's impressive, easy to live with, and turns heads at every intersection then bid quickly on this awesome Ford Mustang before you see your buddy put it in his garage!

This Saleen is garaged kept by it's original, non-smoking owner and is absolutely like new.  This car was purchased from the inside showroom at A.C Collins Chevrolet in Houston TX in July 2005 -- the 1st year of the newly designed Mustang body style makeover by Ford. I have original window sticker, Saleen owners manual, and all literature. The car has not been driven hard and is all stock with no add-ons. I have the title in hand.

As we all know, Steve Saleen's creations have never been defined by mere stripes and stickers. Straight from his shop, this Ford's heavily re-engineered 'mod motor' makes a powerful 340 lb./ft. of low-end torque. Visually, the engine compartment comes together just as well as the outside of the car. Saleen's install is exceptionally clean and display the Saleen-branded centerpiece and clean fuel rails. The greatest advancement granted by the new Mustang platform is its ability to corner and handle any track with its Racecraft Suspension.  The 5-speed manual drives a tall 3.55 rear end that makes for super responsive wheel spin and alarming acceleration. The modified exhaust system incorporates Saleen's vacuum-actuated mufflers into custom, 2.5 inch stainless pipes. Put all this on top of high-performance Dunlop Tires (275/35ZR20) racked on Saleen's 7-spoke chome alloy wheels (9" in Front/10" in Back) and this coupe is an absolute delight to drive!

Inside, you'll find the leather sport seats a nice surprise as you gaze at the 200 MPH speedometer and Ford's "my color" instrument panel.  Crank up the Shaker 500 stereo with in-dash 6 CD changer and enjoy all the normal luxuries you'd expect in a high dollar muscle car including: cruise control, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, a power driver's seat, and remote keyless entry that's complete with built in theft deterrent software. It's always hard to describe a car that is essentially new in every way. So I'll just sum this Mustang up by saying that everything, from its ice cold air conditioning to its Saleen-branded steering wheel, is in impeccable working order.

I respond quick to emails and will send additional information and pictures if requested.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.

Best 3rd row SUVs of 2022

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices.  OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.   In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
