Not too shabby. I like the front end treatment.

Wonder if it has preproduction interior . . .

Saleen is behind the Camaro used in Transformers. It's likely showcasing what he has planned for the Camaro his new SMS brand will be releasing.

Skip to the 2 min mark. Steve Saleen sucks rusty nuts! If he has anything to do with the new Camaro you can count me out.

of course he would talk ish about GM, he makes his money off Ford, and he was at a mustang event. what he didnt talk about was how much he was paid to make that car, and that it didnt have a v6, it had an LS1.

in regard to bumble bee v2.0, still has no calipers...whats up with that?

You all have to realize,also, that Steve Saleen is no longer the head of Saleen Inc. The new heads of state at Saleen are the ones that are spearheading a new campaign to take the Saleen brand to models other than Ford's. So all this can be true even though Steve was talkin smack last year (or whenever that was). Doesn't matter, cuz he got pushed out of his own company after going public with it.

Bumper looks horrible to me... Doesn't go with the car. Looks like the Holden Monaro bumper but not as cool.

Why in the heck would they still be using a concept body and not a production body??? Talk about a bait n' switch by GM

The front bumper reminds me of a Lamborgini Murcielago. And I like the 3rd pic where the driver has his hand out the window.

I wonder what the chances are that this a mule for the upcoming Transformer sequel. But if that were true......doesn't make any sense that it would be driving around on public streets. Hmm

I imagine that since Saleen has openly said he'll be working on both the Camaro and the Challenger, this is most likely one of his ugly ******* products. Saleen Mustangs look like ****, so I don't expect him to make the Camaro look too good.

The Saleen brand will continue to tune Fords whereas Steve's new SMS brand will tune Chrysler and GM products. SMS is working on the Challenger and released a preliminary sketch. It looks very similar to the changes made on the Camaro here which Saleen built as a functional car for the film.
