02 CETA vs 08' Saleen S302E Came across this guy coming out of Greatwood today and was a very slick looking car. We got going and pulled out on the hwy with me right behind him. I pulled around to his left and he looked but was a 50'ish guy and seemed to have no interest. He all the sudden hammers it and takes off....I just eased back up by him and we both slowed to about 60 and I dropped into 3rd and he hammers it again...I hit right after he did and began a decent pull on him. Ran to about 120 and I had him by about 2.5 cars. We both exited on 6 and were beside each other at the light when he told me this car was a special edition, more modified version. He has only a CAI and a tune on the car but ran really well......nice car..nice guy.

it was a titanium color which was very sharp. With the CAI and tune he was probably more like 650hp.

"Still, this Saleen doesn't feel or look like a $100,000 car. Exclusivity is a big part of the equation, though, since only twenty-five S302Es will be built. Buyers also receive a custom leather jacket (probably not Members Only, but it'll do) and a first-class plane ticket to Detroit, where they'll tour the factory (where the car was unveiled in January 2008) and dine with a Saleen executive."
That's hardcore... fly to the D and drive it back.... or ship it if your a fancy pants

The blower has been on the car a month or two. I also changed out my exhausts so is pretty quiet again...first thing he asked was what was done to my car...my typical answer is just a squeaky belt...
I just read about there only being 25 made...very cool.
