FYI if he says is a 2002 S351 he's full of it, I know they stopped 351 production a few years ago and have "replaced" it with the S281e, I think 2000 or 99 was the last year for the 351. Good luck though

You forgot three green neon lights and two strobs. Oh and be sure you have your hat turned around.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned a good baseball bat. You can beat a Saleen pretty damn good with one of those!

yO dowg, you gots ta have m4d gauges, yO! At least a triple mount on the A-Piller. You can get by with 2, but if 2 is good, 3 is even better! Make sure you get Autmeters, cuz they come with stickers to put on the fender. Also, a 5" tach is good for 1-1.5 seconds in the 1/4. More if it is one of the Indiglos that changes colors!

Get a wing from a top fuel dragster and mount it to the VR4 for maximum downforce. That thing should give you around 100hp by itself considering how big it is.
