Saleen was manufacturing the S7 from scratch and I don't believe that Roush has ever done a product from the ground up. There would be advantages to being listed as a manufacturer. I do not know how many cars they build now. I hope that all goes well for them as their business model has been up and down and in constant state of flux for years. If they build over 500 Mustangs a year they should try to be listed as a separate manufacturer.

Steve is now back in charge of the Saleen name. I believe they are over 500 Mustangs per year but I would have to ask. What are the benefits of being a separate manufacturer? How much of the original vehicles body and power train have to change to become a separate manufacturer. Even Ford calls Shelby a separate manufacturer. Is this true?
