Ok.. After waiting 17years since I sold my 88gt I decided that it was time so I finally did it Sat.. After speaking to the local dealer about the gt500. he told me yes i was number 1 and yes I could have the first convertible but at a price of 70k. So I said ok thats it. I need a convertible now and can't wait till the donkies named jack out there stop paying anything over msrp. So i bought a screaming yellow s281 supercharged saleen with 1,00 miles on it.. for under 50k.. Hope to fly down to florida tuesday to pick it up.... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]

try posting them to the gallery at 2005stang.com? That's where I store most of my pics at....

If you drop them to 800x600 you should just be able to post them directly here though....

??

Lemme see that Saleen, man! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Key question is, how do you drive that at speed limit? how are you able to drive it any less than 100 on the highway?!?! I know I can't, and I don't even have a supercharger...

Congradulations.

Beautiful car. I had my supercharger put in at their plant, and was really taken by the tour. I am going to go with the SC upgrade soon to 3.8 pulley, injectors, mass air. I also have their suspension. I love it. Erik

Hey guys thanks.. Well it is real hard to keep it within the speed limit.... And I find that the car doesn't have a lag in power. Its crazy...... The car keeps pulling throught the power band...

Congrats ! It's a beautiful ride

Saleen re-flashes the ECM to get rid of the lag. They are planning a Saleen S281 E ("extreme") for the end of the year and it is worded to put out 500 hp.
