I agree. The interior looks like it was hacked together out of brown plastic and vinyl... Still, nice, though I wouldn't want one. I'd rather have a "regular" Saleen..

Awesome car. Actually I think yellow is a better color for it as seen in R&T and MT.

I don't know, but they're going to manufacture the new Ford GT40 (or whatever it will be called).

There's nothing about it that would make me choose it over other Super Cars, but hey - who here even has that choice? :p

It's cool looking and all, but there's nothing that makes it stand out, it's just a "cookie cutter" supercar (god, did I just say that?!?!)

According to Motor Trend August 2002 issue page 60:
