Who gives a shit? I'd drive an import car anyday. American made car's are simply unreliable.
Do the maintenance, Any Car will break down if you just turn the key & put gas in it... I have an 89 Ford F-150 278,000 miles 300 straight 6 ,5 spd overdrive stick... Does'nt burn a drop of oil.... I maintain my American Vehicle

This has got to be the first time we’ve seen a car tuner build a custom vehicle to honor its country’s servicemen and women, with Ford specialist

Saleen, in fact, built the cars, as a way to say welcome to troops arriving home from abroad.
Only 24 cars will be built, each based on the S281 Supercharged Mustang and available in red, white or blue.

Handling is improved with a Racecraft suspension set-up with new coil springs, sway bars, shocks and bushings.
Stopping power comes from 12.4in vented discs in the front and smaller 11.8in discs up back. These reside within 20in chrome finished alloys wrapped with Dunlop tires.
