Saleen plans to support our service men and women by building 24 limited edition 2008 Patriot American Flag Saleen Mustangs.  There will be eight of each color, red, white and blue.  They are based on the S281 supercharged Mustang.  I wold love a drab green one with a matte black star on the door, but I guess this is a way to fly your flag.
