This sentiment coming from an 18 year-old male? I'm worried about ya, Mickey. 
Hey now, sometimes we must look past the fact that I am 18  haha

A wishlist for my Saleen? I guess I would ask for:
1) A nicer (leather?!) dashboard cover and center console cover (more places for Saleen logos);
2) Side skirts and boost gauges that fit as they should ;
3) A Saleen CAI kit;
4) Optional deep dish, lighter Saleen-branded wheels (this could be a real $$$ maker for Saleen); and
5) A mechanical (rather than electronic controlled) throttle.
Nothing else. As my wife likes to remind me weekly, I love this car way more than I should...
And thanks, Jared, for listening and passing on the thoughts of some very passionate Saleen owners.

If I had to recommend some changes for the newer body styles:
1. Make the extreme look very different than a S/C. I thought for awhile the only way you could tell an extreme saleen from a S/C was the splitter/rear diffuser and the 1/4 panel window blanked out. Then I found out that the 1/4 window is optional...so it's really just a little tiny extreme symbol on the side and the carbon fiber on the bottom that differentiate the two. If I was spending lots of money on an extreme, I'd want everyone within 12 blocks to know that it's an extreme.
2. Customize the interior a little more than just seat covers, pedal covers and gauges.
3. Enclose the certificate of authenticity with the car. It's a small thing, but it helps us owners feel special. I know it's only like $35 to buy, but that's exactly why Saleen should include it.

does this mean? 
I can't speak for the Goat cause I've never been in one, but to say an adult....even a KID is going to fit in the back of a Mustang is a joke. Now I KNOW people do it, but you can't tell me it is comfy. As a guy that is 6'1", I don't believe in putting my seat forward so somebody can sit behind me - therefore I have a rule when it comes to my 'Stangs. TWO PASSENGER CARS ONLY 
...when I first got the car, I went for a ride with my mom and dad and I sat in the back to give them the full pleasure of the ride. I am pretty much 5'11 and I had no problem fitting behind the passenger seat (and it was not near all the way forward)
