Default Saleen killed!!

Ran into a clean 94-98 Saleen tonight on my way back from school (all done for the year ) Anyways, I downshifted to 4th at about 75 and paced him, I hit it to get his attention then he looked over, smiled, and hit it. I hit it right after him and we held even for a bit then I started pulling. As soon as I pulled past him around 90-95 he shut it down. We did this 3 times and it was the same every time. I think I should have went down to 3rd, but I thought he would have ran longer. I gave him a thumbs up, he gave one back and then he turned off to get gas. It was my first run all spring.

Nice Kill.

Also better when they are cool.
Saleens are fun to race if you get a chance, better than rice.

Awesome kill. There's a black Saleen around here that I wanna run. Older guy drives it. Only seen it a few times, latest was at the post office. It sounds pretty mean.

Thanks guys, I assumed it was an S281. It was debadged, but it had a saleen windshield banner, body kit, 17-18" chrome wheels, and the saleen hood. It ran pretty hard.
