Hey, I was just wondering if any of you guys have seen the Saleen s281 at Erinwood Ford. Its kinda near my house. The dealership is off of Dundas between Erin Mills and Winston Churchhill. I was biking with my friend this summer and saw it and I fell in love. The salesguys looked kinda mad when a couple of 15 year old guys (and a 17 as he INSISTED {Pikeles} that I edit this) walked into their dealership to drool over thier car though.

I took that car for a test drive about 2 months ago. Not bad but it doesn't feel any faster than my o5 GT, and infact, mine sounds better!

Um.....that's going to be quite a bit more than a cobra. Why on earth whould you pay that?

Plus, for the difference in price between a Saleen and a GT ($20,000 approx) you could mod the 05 like gangbusters. I'd buy a Cobra and use the other $5000-$8000 as a slush fund for it

They look really sweet but man that's expensive.

Both my Classics are parked there on the pod by Mavis Road.

The '66 Coupe is Wimbleton White. Kind of an off-white.
You may be talking about my '71 Cougar Convert. It is Light Gold, or a pale yellow colour.

The Mach I is parked towards the back of the building. It belongs to the dealership.

I have had them there since Stampede at the end of July, getting brakes and assorted other things done. My garage has "shrunk" (or the junk has grown) so I need to do a clean-up before they can come home.
