comparing a website to the cars performance is like comparing apples to oranges. now, if you said "but i doubt anyone who's commentd on their site could do better" i would disagree w/ you... i could do a lot better than that.

one of the best parts website i've ever seen looked exactly like a spreadsheet. just because it has no flash animations or color photos doesn't make it bad. they concentrate or quick updates and good prices. could care less about the website construction. but i do see your point...

This focus does NOT come from the factory like this, Saleen makes that body kit and they make alot of parts for the focus. All this is, is saleen buying stock focuses and hooking them up and re-selling them. Thats it. Thats why you have to sign off the warranty. If Ford made them like that why would they have a warranty on it, just to yank it away when you buy it. Theres alot of companies that do this for Hondas, Mitsubishis, and so forth. I know this fucktard that went to a website and bought an Eclipse brand new that was already kitted with some turbo kit and paid like 35g's for it.

the reason saleen didnt hook it up was because they were trying to keep the price down on it, and yes the spoiler is hideous.

i never said anything about flashy stuff, the website in general is just a bad design. I mean, if you go to the main page of this site, its simple, yet clean and pro looking. Saleens was thrown together in like two seconds... and they do have a (very very shitty) flash video when you first go to the page.

$24,399.00 for that thing!
You would expect better from a company like Saleen.
I guess they fell on the F&TF bandwagon with the "NAWS"
I agree that the SC or the Turbo would have been the better option but it seems that they took the cheaper way out.
