Yup I was thinking the same, but thought maybe it was not an S197... (Posted to the wrong thread) Oh well we will see. Kinda looks like maybe a Sammer. too.
I was also thinking the same as well about looking like a potential scammer, Steve.
Bought new in Montana - it's in miles. Saved 5G buying it new there in 2006. They even turned the DRL on for me. Since then I've used Forscan to turn DRL off then
rewired so the fog lamps work as DRL. Also in 2007 bought whole GT500 Ford front clip at same dealership and changed the front out. The Trufiber hood came later
when I changed it out to match the GT500 front. It gives plenty of room for the Saleen V1 Supercharger.
Thanks for clarifying on the mileage... Also, from one Saleen series VI S/C to another... Congrats on sticking with the Saleen VI S/C

Yes it been good to me. Bought it used off a fellow in Ohio. It came with everything all I had to add were the injectors, plugs and a BAP. It's got a 3.4 pulley and Brenspeed wrote the 530 hp tune. Runs like a charm.

The only real complaint's I have with the Saleen VI S/C is the loud rotor noises and location of the oil drain plug which requires uninstalling the throttle body assembly, air inlet tube and alternator just in order to access it... Perhaps, it's just me being **** retentive, but it shouldn't take going through such a hassle when it comes to checking the oil level and especially when oil changes are required...
Other than that, it's been running great over the last 12 years...

Just out of curiosity, I figured I'd start up a new thread to find out how many 2005-09 S197 owners are still around who continue to enjoy their rides that have low mileage on them. So if you're the proud owner of a 2005-09 S197 Mustang that has low mileage? then by all means, chime in with your posts and feedback, as they'll be much welcomed and appreciated. Thanks
Changed To Current Mileage For Greater Posting!

I think I have this one 2005gt so nice blue 42 thousand pictures of proof if needed
Awesome is still chugging along, warts and all, slowly but surely to the 200K mark. Today, she passed...

Miles. And I said "you know what? That's pretty nifty. I think I'll post about that on the Source."
So I have.
I may upload a pic later, but Honest Abe, triple 19s today. Almost missed it, was filling up with The Method... got done, got in the car... Oh. Lookie there. Coolies. Took a pic, but me and phones and pictures... I'm old guys and gals.
So there's an update. Still 'here'. Will definitely be in for the 200K mark, whenever that happens!
