Saleen Molly Pop Mustang has its owner tickled pink

What would you drive if you were Steve Saleen's daughter? A Mustang, right? Probably a customized one at that. Well, Steve Saleen's daughter, Molly, does indeed drive a custom Mustang. One with a special paint job custom-blended for her and named in her honor, too. This isn't unprecedented actually. Steve's wife, Liz, also has a paint color named after her, Lizstick red, that is available as an optional Saleen factory paint color. Daughter Molly is actually more than just Steve and Liz's daughter. She is also an active part of the company, running the Saleen retail store in Irvine, CA.
But the car is what we're focused on here. The Saleen Molly Pop Mustang features the previously mentioned one-off Molly Pop paint job that in itself would make this Mustang stand out, but there's so much more. Her S281 Mustang also features the Saleen supercharger with the 475-hp upgrade (new air box cover with 98mm MAF sensor, 39lb fuel injectors, smaller pulley, and modified Saleen programming). Although it doesn't have the full Extreme 550 hp rating, her car does have the Extreme package that includes the lighter 20" forged 5-spoke rims, carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, and shorter gearing. The Molly Pop also features the watts-link suspension in the rear and the scenic roof option. As is corporate custom, this first car's fender number reads "01" – and this will probably be the only one built. Of course, Saleen is quick to note that they have always painted customer cars in whatever color the customer requests.

As I recall, one of the original Mustang colors was an orangey red called "Lipstick."

sorry for the double post - but what's with the antenna? you'd think with everything Saleen does they could at least use a low profile/sharkfin???

I think Kelly Clarkson also had a Pink Mustang herself.

Yeah, Frogwhistle, and that guy would beat your ass just for being stupid!
Come on, people...it's a chick's car. Steve Saleen is the man, and I can guaran-damn-tee you that she's going to get what she wants. If she wants it pink, she's going to get it pink. The fact of the matter is that it's badass. It's got 475 HP, regardless of the color.
And remember, folks, we're all pink on the inside.

that is so funny... her car looks exactly like the one Galpin Auto Sports created for their 2006 calendar... which I now own...except mine has way more pink accents... and first place trophies...Kelly used to have one but gave it away because she didn't want to be confused with me. Nice to see others are following MY pink trend...
