Saleen, the famous performance brand, lives. And it's looking to roll out two go-fast Mustangs in the next year.

The first will be unveiled at Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach, S.C., later in July. A second version also is possible for spring 2010, Saleen Performance Vehicles CEO Michael Shields said Thursday...

Between Saleem amd Roush is a tough descision as both competitors really deliver on the track. I've seen a Roush Mustang outperform a Saleen Mustang though so Roush may have the edge.

Too bad a series of poor management decisions drove the former Saleen into the ground. After creating the late-model Mustang performance segment, they completely lost touch with their audience and their customers. As far as I'm concerned, all recent model Saleen’s have been too much about bling and lifestyle and fell short in the performance area. Yeah, sure, anyone can throw on a supercharger on and make impressive horsepower stats…great to impress some naïve auto enthusiasts, but how does the car really handle? Compare it to a base Mustang GT and of course it’s better, but try comparing it to a world class sports car – like a Vette, Viper or Porsche. Saleen needs to get back to its road racing roots and substantially improve on track performance. Griggs Racing Products (Petaluma, CA), is a small niche Mustang suspension/chassis company that offers parts for those that want to build your own track worthy car and they also offer the GR40, a complete turn-key car that would destroy any Saleen/Roush/Shelby on the track. Unfortunately, they don't have mega-millions in advertising budgets to reach out to the world. What a shame…because their product is far superior! Check them out at www.gr40.com. I am speaking from experience...I have two Mustangs – a 2003 SC Saleen and 2002 SC Griggs -- and have track tested them both...there simply is no comparison in cornering, braking, over ride quality, road manners….and lap times! Maybe Saleen should take care of the styling and leave the chassis to the experts…Griggs Racing Products. I say, go Griggs...or go home!
