Default Ran an 06 Saleen

Im quite positive it was the N/A version, 330hp. Found him on the highway and kept up with him, he was driving 90mph, until we finally hit an open stretch. I had my friend in the car, 155lbs, and about 50lbs worth of **** I was bringing home. He was alone in the car. Got him to go from a 65mph roll up to 120. I was still able to pull about 1 car on him, I LOVE 65MPH. LTs are going on soon with an ORY...I can't wait. Nice looking car he had I will say.

The Saleen's are gorgeous, just a bit on the slow side though.

I agree, im not a fan of the v6's or the gt's as they both dont look right, they look like they ride too high off the ground, but the saleens, with that sweet bodykit, look pimp.

Nice kill bro! I go to WVU too, but I leave my car at home. Was it that blueish silver saleen that hangs around down in Sabraton? I've seen that car out alot, along with some other nice cars. Makes me wish I had mine out there, but ever since it got hit in the parking garage she stays home .

No, this Saleen was white with dealer tags still on it. Im also positive that it was a 5spd.... Damn your car sounds sick! I would love to see it sometime this summer. Check out WVSTREETS.Com, a bunch of us meet up all the time, Cobras, Evos, many other fast cars.

Cool, I'll have to check that out, I know a few people with nice rides back here that would like to come out and meet up too. I'm hoping to have my car done in time for GM nationals in Carlisle PA. I have a huge pile of parts in the garage lol. Hopefully I'll get it done before summer classes are over so I can bring it out for finals.

I'll second that, the 05'+ Saleens are gorgeous cars.

If I had the money. I would buy a car like this.

I raced an 06 Saleen a few months ago on the freeway and it was just brutal, he had 3 people in the car though and the top was down so it wasn't surprising (He was still a baby though and took the first exit). They are very nice lookin cars, have seen a few at the local shows with superchargers and they said they were puttin down just over 400 to the floor. Haven't gotten to play with one of those yet.

I talked with some guys at Saleen about the new Extreme. They're currently running it at 550 RWHP, trying to break it but it's refusing to break. They said they have to find the breaking point so they know how far to detune it for the public. The Extreme's oughta be fun cars.
