Yup, a fully loaded Saleen S281 Extreme with the $15k paint option is over the $100k mark when all taxes and fee's are added up.

It sounds nice but I still but a Saleen Camaro just doesnt sound right at all. It's like waiting for an 09 Berger Honda Civic

(Which works out well for enthusiasts, so enjoy!

Just keep the weight under 3600 lbs. and it'll boogie.
