Recently making its debut at the New York Auto Show, Saleen's S5S Raptor is hot! As a two-seat, mid-engine car that can compete with some of the most notable Italian hot rods in size and style, the Raptor S5S has a 5.0L Supercharged engine which puts out 650hp. Unlike other fancy European rides, the Raptor is built to digest cellulosic ethanol making it a clean car as well looking out for the environment. According to Saleen executives, the Raptor is expected to hit the market in two years at about $185,000 MSRP.

As Detroit inches ever closer to its famous Dream Cruise, a celebration of antique, classic and modern American cars, the famous Woodward Ave. is bustling with '69 fastbacks, '57 Chevys and the like as they perform their trial runs for the big event. The annual classic car extravaganza

Forbes has just what we need -- a list of the top ten all-American sports cars. From the cars that have become synonymous with America, like the Corvette and the Mustang, to the less obvious but still powerful, such as the supercharged, 443-horsepower Cadillac XLR-V and 305 hp Panoz Esperante. Modern classics, such as the new Challenger, Camaro and Mustang, also pepper the list, as do American exotics, including the Saleen S7 and Dodge Viper SRT10, though the absence of the Ford GT was curious.

We've mentioned the droolworthy Saleen cars before, now the boutique auto maker has a store. The Saleen store is located in Orange County, California at the Irvine Spectrum. The store is split in half with one side devoted to "lifestyle" (gear, posters etc.) and one side devoted to the technical side including interactive displays about Saleen performance. The store features a dissected Saleen Mustang under glass so you can really check out what is under the hood. The store also has two driving simulators that let you race a Saleen S7. To fill up you and your car there is the Saleen N2O Bar that offers ice cream, oxygen, Red Bull and soda for people and nitrous oxide and hydrogen for cars. The Irvine manufacturing plant is located nearby and factory tours can be scheduled.

$50,000 for a Mustang? When Saleen's involved things get fancy and pricey. The Saleen/Parnelli Jones Limited Edition Mustang has a classic muscle car look that is reminiscent of the Grabber Orange Boss 302 Mustang that Parnelli Jones drove in 1970. Inside it's got the Saleen 302 cid V8 engine. Other details include 302 valve covers, a black striped “shaker” hood, a 1970 replica rear wing and rear window quarter panels. It's only available in the Grabber Orange shown here and it even comes with removable decals to make it look just like Parnelli's 1970 Mustang. They haven't announced how many units will be made but it will cost in the the mid-to-high $50,000 range. Autoblog has the rest of the pictures and more details.
