Why My Saleen is better than A Shelby GT500 with Mustang Crashes - Flying Wheels

[@jeffmorse5599]

Buy some regular hinges for those doors. Mustangs are a good midlife crisis car for a lot of 40 somethings, just sold mine last week but my age groups not buying lambo doored american muscle.

[@FlyingWheels]

Very true!

[@josevilla8536]

a beautiful car not in love with the doors.

[@jamesrhodes6462]

Lose those doors. They look ridiculous.

[@cemsengul16]

Definitely. Even Lamborghini doesn't use those kinds of doors anymore.

[@Don_Izzo]

Get rid of those doors, sell the scissor door hinges on eBay. I did a quick ebay search and saw some going for $1000.

[@scottwood33139]

I couldn't even open those in my standard garage

[@wendwllhickey6426]

You to have the right tires on it and suspension set up correctly to handle the power ,and not regular street tires

[@OrangeBoss-ww8eb]

I have mustangs since age 15 now I am old guess my whole life has been mid life crisis LOL, I love all mustangs

[@iamsuprmn1]

Love the car especially the color. The doors though, are gonna limit your buyer pool.

[@kahrhoshe]

I literally came across this channel just because i just bought a 2022 Saleen Mustang, number 25 but cant find online how many were made in 2022. I drove it home today and fell in LOVE with her. Now i need to get a ceramic coating and ill be set , and clean out the garage lol

[@MichaelReeves412]

I watched this video a few months back. I’m now the owner of a 2007 Saleen S281SC 🔥

[@chriscollins327]

I just worked on a 2015 mustang with the lambo door hinges. If you don't open them up right they will hit the fender. Also the wiring harness was basically the door check strap and couple wires were cracked. You can't get out of them with any kind of speed. There worth around 1500 new if not more. Also there is a Allen screw to adjust the height of the door as it closes which came out of adjustment and chipped the paint at the latch opening. I'd put the original back on if they didnt drill through the body since some have different mounting points than stock. Love the channel!

[@FlyingWheels]

Thanks for all of that!

[@bowzee1502]

I sold this car in August cause it would not inspect .. crazy it ended up in your hands

[@tubetube56]

Saline..is a solution of salt in water...your mustang is a Saleen. How does a car dealer pronounce car names wrong. Imagine if i wanted to buy a mustang "Shell-buy"

[@mylanmiller9656]

The biggest reason people have problems with Crashing the Mustang is they have a Fly by Wire Throttle. They get the job done but if you lose traction and try to peddle the throttle there is a delay between when you take your foot off the peddle to when the Throttle body reacts! This may be ok in a Car with 80 hp but when you have 400 hp the car will crash before the Throttle releases!

[@TheRandomizedvids]

Love that car! If I am being honest though my favorite part of the video is the smile on your grandfathers face when you showed him the gift you left him.

[@epicraptorman]

Give the buyer the option for you to put the original hinges back on. Or charge extra for the factory hinges

[@KimKim_in_Cali]

Some of Barricades scenes were shot in the next black from where I use to work. That scene where he racing down the street is in Pasadena, right below Colorado Street.

[@nanueinmanu1754]

Hi I just discovered your Channel and been binge watching it. Really nice videos! But maybe let the audio go on on for example these (4:30 4:35 4:39 4:53) parts. It helps with the flow alot! Greetings from Austria

[@greggeuss7831]

Nice car. I had my choice of a Roush, Saleen and Shelby and chose the Shelby.

[@midnight347]

Very wise decision. People don't even realize how vastly superior the driveline is lol.

[@danielbernhardt3535]

What Craig doesn’t mention is that banks don’t consider Roush or Saleen mustangs for loans. When selling there are limited buyers. Means a lot.

[@jimg7823]

Yeah well that tells me the tensioner can't handle the power the question is how many other parts aren't up to take it either.

[@FlyingWheels]

Good question

[@James-qq2vq]

He's correct it's not the car it's the lack of ability of the people behind the wheel. Know your limits.....

[@andrewmcdonald6513]

Awesome car but the doors are a bit clumsy - go back to the original door hinges

[@stevenmarchand8146]

Only thing I think is better about them is the flat plane crank! And the sound they make is fantastic. But I love all mustangs lol

[@muskokamike127]

To be honest, a flat plane crank doesn't belong in a muscle car. Yes, they sound great, in a Ford GT or in the C8 but not in a pony car. Just like lambo doors don't belong on a mustang. Specially ones that don't work properly! lol

[@stevenmarchand8146]

@@muskokamike127 just evolution! Just like a mustang should never have had an electric version, But here we are lol

[@muskokamike127]

@@stevenmarchand8146 Mustang doesn't have an electric version though. Just because they called that SUV a mustang doesn't make it a mustang. I can call a turd a diamond but it's still a turd.

[@stevenmarchand8146]

Haha 😄 its the unfortunate truth

[@dljunior2852]

I like many other Saleen owners feel we have a special car and it is because all the reasons you stated in your video. It so true about the drivers of all Mustang, they are powerful and you must know your car. Didn't read all the comments but I'm sure Shelby owners beg the differ. Nevertheless go back to the original doors, the car is already special. Thanks for a good video.

[@michaelstacy1]

I’ve driven both. Purchased a Shelby.

[@michaeldeloach838]

PSA...its pronounced suh-leen not say-leen. This is not a contact lens cleaner product lol. Great car, but those doors, eww. Great channel too dude. Been learning a lot. Thanks for creating it

[@kittymande]

traction control is on ,and the wheels spun ???? something is wrong with traction control...

[@Raptoraz727]

The problem with the traction control is the design. Back then, Ford used the rear brakes to try and limit wheel spin as traction control. But it only worked on the standard GT's. Any of the supercharged models were able to easily over power the rear brakes.

[@cemsengul16]

But a Saleen has a lame SOHC 3 valve engine with a supercharger on it. The GT500 of the time was futuristic because it had a DOHC 32 Valve engine.

[@midnight347]

Saleen looks great but performance wise it's not even close. Hp isn't that far apart stock but the Shelby has a much higher ceiling and a way better trans. It's really not close it's in a different realm

[@seminolekilla]

That black and yellow mustang was not cool. Lol. The Saleen however is gorgeous

[@marksiegel374]

Well Shelby is in a class by itself,Saleen does build a great car.

[@nanueinmanu1754]

The second black one was incredible lucky

[@MiguelGomez-rs4kv]

Love the car but needs original doors. Thanks for sharing

[@kc0lif]

you can't have too much power but need awd. i like saleen tho. hate the doors too.

[@slickrick2]

This dudes off his rocker

[@dannyjamz23]

What auction did you buy this from ? Super cool !

[@coramprat]

Suh-leen...please. :D

[@DavidJSmith-hl6kb]

JUST SO YOU KNOW BESIDES THE LAMBO DOORS THIS PARTICULAR HOOD ON THIS 2008 SALEEN MUSTANG IS A SHELBY GT500 HOOD!...I AM JUST SAYING!...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 😇

[@3644Darrell]

It's not a Shelby hood. Shelby hoods are not interchangeable with other moded Mustangs

[@pfernandes8982]

nothing too do with power bad drivers

[@sategllib2191]

Yeah, every one of them could've been prevented if they just knew when to let off the gas

[@kittymande]

it's funny as your wife shares no love of your doors or go fast cars. Her face shows her true feelings... At least i know if i ever buy a car from you it will be abused a bit before i get it.. Now sell it and buy something else :) I would say take doors off ,however ,already has too many miles and mods to be collector car... now just a daily driver

[@timexironman1]

I’m not convinced she was impressed.

[@ratj4715]

I hate them doors I thought you couldn’t go back to the normal ones after this was done but maybe it only certain cars that you can’t. But if you could I know I would I wouldn’t buy it like this.

[@duffgordon9005]

WARNING === SERIOUSLY= I LEARNED THE HARD WAY- TIRES GET OLD- LOSE THEIR STICKINESS - I WENT from the 'slow lane ' (a 4 laner) lost it , went 3 lanes over facing the other way. ASt that point mt=y Good years were eleven years old.

[@stonemichaels1774]

Lose the doors!

[@LiosWorld1]

Papa AL is awesome make a video about him

[@jcfoster5535]

I must be the only one that loves the doors lol. Prolly cause I’m 17 tho

[@mikevenson7818]

How do you figure out the trade in value a roush mustang ot saleen?

[@silvershelbygt500]

Number 1: lose those stupid a$$ door hinges. Number 2: I really like Saleens, but there's no way it's a better than my 2014 GT500. I've owned mustangs my entire life and never crashed one. My Shelby has 835hp and is a head turner with my super snake hood and rims with an APR Racing front splitter.

[@midnight347]

The Shelby has a superior driveline. That goes for 07 on up. The Saleen is a mustang gt driveline with a blower. Far as handling and braking and looks they're great but their potential don't compare to a Shelby.

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

Change those doors back if u want what that car is really worth...It shows what type of person owned it and how smart they obviously weren’t...

[@ThaSilentOne420]

goes and buys same pulley that broke on him vs spending 200$ for a set of real pullies

[@beepeefromabove1592]

Bad drivers always have an excuse.

[@danishbacongoespz]

Original hinges plz, it makes the car sound like a sqeeky old car :-)

[@altondixon4837]

put original hinges on

[@andrewazzariti]

Get rid of the stupid doors

[@TraveladvRajanSRai]

The 5.2 block is superior but for the price

[@dsssy]

Lose the doors. It’s unSaleen like, not original. It’s like dropping a Shelby or tinting the windows. Takes away from the value as well. My 2 cents.

[@mikemustang7826]

I have one thay are beautiful cars 👍

[@ripvanrevs]

A better designed door would open both ways.

[@sandybrisbane4167]

[@frankbier1690]

Doors are awkward and stupid

[@brobrown6553]

cool

[@michaelscott285]

Gt500 has a better motor - trans and rear end.. Saleen is a stock GT with labels and sometimes a SC..

[@midnight347]

I agree with this 100% BUT there is little more to a Saleen than that. It has wheels body kit brake and suspension upgraded and alot of nice touches that make them a step above a gt in alot of ways. Driveline wise you're absolutely correct it is a mustang gt driveline with a blower the Shelby is superior there. The Saleen is a cool car it don't compare to a Shelby. Easier to upgrade suspension on a gt500 than upgrade the entire driveline on a Saleen lol.

[@ChristopherEisele]

Lambo doors on anything but a countache are cool for about five minutes.Look at your wife's face trying to get into and close that stupid door. That's the reality of those doors. Aside of, one day, the counter load mechanism will fail, and good luck to the person getting in or out when it does.

[@akfinestak7505]

Go back to original doors :)

[@shankyclause8728]

Keep the doors ya got and try selling it for a week maybe 10 days. You dont care about doors, get yo money the easy way! Let somebosy else jack with the doors. Kind of reminds me of when you worked 10 hours installing some kind of location device in a car and got paid zero for it. Leave the damn doors

Lol you lose traction so easily because you have crappy nitto invo tires on it. If that’s a stock power you’re only in the low 400s in hp.

Yea my 550 rwhp 07 gt500 was borderline undeliverable on 275,/35/20 555g2 street tires. I have 4.10 also. I'm running drag pack now and she's a bad bitch.
