Guy was cool as hell…said the extreme version made 550hp and that saleen holds back the first 10 cars…so # 11 would be the first sold to the public. Yep thats a # 11 on his car. Real cool guy and i told him about the site :tup:

I don’t really like the rear end, the wheels are ok, other than that it’s not too bad IMO, I’d have to see that car in person because I"m not really a fan of that retro look their doing. Took a look at Saleen’s website and the only motor they offer is 4.6L, 3V, SOHC V-8. Why no DOHC Cobra motor anymore?

Hey thanks for posting these photo’s. I’m glad I caught up to you guys and was able to stop for a couple of minutes. The site’s pretty cool and I look forward to seeing ya either at a track or another show. Keep me posted.

As to racing the car. I haven’t really opened it up until the last week. I just got 1000 miles on her. Having said that I still haven’t had anyone keep up since day 1. I drove a 911 x50 for awhile and that’s comparable. 0-60 in under 4 sec.

Thanks again guys.
