Maybe there's something in the water. Maybe the planets are lining up. Or maybe it's just that so many people still remember and miss Ford's muscle-truck masterpiece, the Lightning. Whatever the reason, Ford F-150 performance option packages pushing 450 horsepower have begun sprouting up like weeds.
The first buildup was from Saleen, maker of the S7 supercar, Ford GT, and numerous Mustang models. The big difference between Saleen and other performance-part companies is that Saleen is technically considered an original equipment manufacturer, in many ways on par with GM, Ford, and Dodge. It's the OEM of record with full responsibility for the warranty on the vehicle and considering how extensive its modifications are to a stock FX2 Ford F-150 SuperCab, it should be.
