    Roush FR500 Steering Wheel

    Dale: I think the FR500 steering wheel is the same one Ford Racing sells through their catalogue. I installed one in my 1997 Saleen a few years ago and really like it. It has a thicker rim and matches the airbag perfectly. My car has a black interior and it looks like the car came with it...

    Roush 06 Saleen Extreme Specs/stories?

    We lost Hancock as a client about a year ago so don't know if they are interested in any more acquisitions. These VC firms usually look for "distressed" companies to go after. I do know that there is lot's of $$ available now to buy/invest in middle market companies. They usually find you rather...

    Hancock Park Associates, based in Century City, has owned Saleen Inc. for several years. They are a venture capital company with quite a few holdings including Gordon Biersch brewery and Barcalounger chairs. They also own several fitness companies. Hancock used to be a client of my company...

    Roush Carlsbad Outlet Meet Photos & Video from this Saturday

    Shaun: Nice photos & video. I read on the Ford GT board last week that they wanted to make this show a big one for the GT's & Ferraris. Dennis Mckee and I are trying to figure out a few more club events for SCOA and this may be a good one. What time does the show start / end? Larry...

    Roush 2001 Saleen SR??

    There is a body kit available from ACS Motorsoports in Huntington Beach CA. Mike Davis, the owner of Applied Computer Sciences (ACS), has been a Mustang guy for a long time and raced an SR in the old Trans-Am series. He also ran a pair of SR's in the SCCA World Challenge. I was lucky enough...

    Roush CC (Cars & Coffee) This Saturday

    Since several of us were shut out at the John Force show last week-end, how about meeting up at the Saleen store and cruising over to the CC show this Saturday? Dennis and I will be there. Last time we did this as a group we met at the store and left at 6:30am to get a good spot to park...

    Roush John Force Show

    Me too, just got my rejection letter. I called John Force Racestation and did a bit of begging but no dice, they are filled-up. No day of show registration either. Because of the limited parking for spectators, I'm not planning on going to the show. I just posted on saleenchat about this...

    Roush John Force Show

    You can't be as old as I am but, OK, 7:30. I think they usually have coffee & donuts but the line gets long. You may want to fuel up before you roll in. Larry 97-0183

    Roush John Force Show

    Guys - For the first timers, you will be exiting the 91 Freeway at Weir Canyon Road (northbound) then going right on Savi Ranch Parkway. Go past the first street (Mirage) and there will be signs directing us into the Kaiser Medical building parking lot. They do the registration in the...

    Roush California & front plates?

    I drove my car daily for 5 years and never got hassled. Never had the front plate on. I did get a fix-it ticket one time for no plate. I was parked at LAX, with the car cover on, and one of the Airport cops pulled up the cover and got me for no front plate. He must have known Saleens don't...

    Roush Meeting Up In O.C. and L.A.

    I can't make the C&C event Saturday but the Sunset Ford / SVTOA show is this Sunday. It's in Westminister just off the 405 freeway at Valley View St. Dennis and I will be there. There was a rush of Saleen registrations and they have now created a seperate class for us. I think there are at...

    Roush John Force Show

    Bringing this back to the top. The registration deadline for the John Force show is Monday Nov. 20 so if you haven't registered yet, get to it! Do we have a consensus on where we will be meeting? The Best Buy parking lot? If we want to park together and get a good spot, we should be...

    Roush run ins from last night...

    I have a 2004 WRX (stock) as well as my 1997 Saleen (na). I drive the WRX every day and, as as previously noted, it is a quick little car. It's only about 225 hp but it has nice gearing and all-wheel drive. If you get the revs right and can get into boost, it will hook-up well and surprise quite...

    Roush John Force Show

    I'm going, I think Dennis will as well. Robert and Todd have also been in past years. Last year we met at Robert's place as it's just down the road from Forces place. It's pretty laid back, lots of hot rods. More of a big shine & show. They usually have a registration area in the...

    Roush Any S. Californians going this weekend to New CC Spot???

    Jeff: 6:30 should be fine if we leave the store on time. I think they let cars in well before 7:00am, the first week-end they had the show I rolled in at 6:30 and there were already 40 cars there. We should be able to park together if we leave at 6:30. Larry 97-0183

    Roush Any S. Californians going this weekend to New CC Spot???

    Todd: I'm in for this Saturday. I agree we need to be rolling in the lot by 6:30 to get a good spot. The Saleen store lot or Saleen Inc. would be good places to meet up. I drove by the Ford PAG lot last Saturday morning and was impressed by the amount and quality of cars in the overflow...

    Roush 10/21 "New CC" Spot gathering in SoCal

    I can go next week (Nov. 4). I was there with Todd on the 21st, it was awesome. I rolled in at 6:30am and there were already about 40 cars parked. I live pretty close (Mission Viejo) so don't know where you all want to meet up and drive in. We could meet at the Saleen store parking lot...

    Roush Who's showing their cars at Saleen in Sept?

    Saleen Show I'm planning on doing both the Saleen show and the Santa Margarita show. I may also do the driving event on Friday Sept. 8 at Wild Rivers. Robert mentioned that this years Santa Margarita show doesn't have a Signature class (Saleen, Roush). I e-mailed the club running the show...
