I am the New Car manager at the dealership; I'll leave it at that. :Mrgreen: MSRP is either $61865 or $62190, depending on when it was built...

Also, my buddy also just ordered a tune from Doug, as he did a dynotune of one in his shop. Another 20 hp is what he's claiming. . Can't wait to see pics of it on the dyno!!

Awesome choice on the scenic roof option. Makes it look so unique!
What is done from Saleen that they can get 327rwhp ? Then Doug can tweek another 20hp? AWESOME!!!!!

What do you mean by that? If your asking what is different than a normal GT motor? LOTS different!! Saleen takes out everything internal in the motor, and replaces it with forged goodies. PLus its not a 4.6L anymore but a true 302! Plus the compression is high. Its amazing for a N/A motor. I Love the sound it makes!!

Sweet. Where are the underhood pics? Videos with sound?

Are the quarter louvers available in the aftermarket?

I am obviously biased, but after having driven most of the s-197 offerings (Roush, Saleen, GT500, Foose), I feel that this is the best driving car of the bunch (it doesn't look bad either ) . It makes the GT500 feel like a PIG in every aspect other than a straight line, and even then the PJ is MUCH more responsive.

What more can be said that already hasn't?!! I've loved this car from the moment they announced it and that scenic roof option is amazing. Strap a blower on that car and it's Done!

Thanks Barrett! Enjoy the sweet ride!

Oh, I wanted to ask you. Any though of having perminent meatballs made up with #15 on them and having them put on? My buddy did and it looks SICK driving down the road with them on! Pure race car!! For those who don't know, the numbers that come with the car are cling-on numbers and you can't drive with them on, or they will blow off. Just a though, but would really increase the head-turning factor!

Barrett,

Blake just told me yesterday that your car came in. I suppose it will get it's unveiling at the Stampede in September??? I can't wait to see it. You have got one hell of a collectors item there. I'd be tempted to leave the plastic on the seats, get a cover on it and park it (yeah right) That's easier said than done. Can't wait to see it in person. Give me a shout if you are going to be at the Yukon dealership with it anytime soon. I'll shoot up there to check it out. Congrats again!!!!!!!!
