    Roush Any Saleen Meets this October in Santa Monica/Marina Del Rey area

    Enjoy the honeymoon! If being on the beach is your thing, Shutters and Casa Del Mar are two of the best hotels in Santa Monica. They're right on the beach and pricey. Note that there is no beach in the Marina del Rey, although there are beaches a short drive away. I've recommended...

    Roush Steve Saleen Retires

    E63 Extreme? Is that different than the AMG E63, or was the inclusion of "Extreme" just a joke that Steve might start doing tuner versions of AMGs (which could be cool, by the way...)? A buddy of mine has an '06 E55 (less horsepower, more torque than the '07 E63), which he got within weeks of...

    Roush 600hp extremes for Cannibal run

    Hey Dot -- Is this about your hood problem? Didn't that ultimately turn out to not be the result of a defective paint job?

    Roush SALEEN SHUTTING DOWN???

    I definitely hope this is the start of (yet another) turnaround, and not a shut down. It kills me that Saleen and Ford cannot come up with a way to turn out limited production, well-designed, high performance cars and make a profit doing so. Since buying my S281SC last fall, I have had...

    Roush SALEEN SHUTTING DOWN???

    I posted this on another board and thought I'd share here as well: Apparently the owners of Saleen have laid off 40 employees, including several Saleen executives. This sounds like the actions of a company that intends to finish out its current run of '07 cars and then shut down for good...

    Roush What car looks Better??

    I guess I'm the only one who feels this way, but my choices would be (in order): 1. '05-'07 2. Fox Bodies 3. '94-98 4. '99-'04 I always thought the stock '99-'04 Mustangs looked too Japanese (sharp edges, too many vents and scoops with no real design purpose). Saleen did a much...

    Roush 03-04 Cobra Saleen v. Saleen Extreme

    So THAT just happened. Wow, quite a read. Extreme550 -- welcome to the forum. I'm a big fan of Saleens, and the E is pretty much a dream car for me. So, yeah, I'm lusting after your ride. Please post some pix when you get a chance. For sheer performance, I think it's been well proven...

    Roush 351 Question

    Has anyone out there driven both a 351SC and a late model 281SC (either an '07 with the 465hp tune or an '05-'06 with the 475hp upgrade)? I know they are very different animals, but just wondering if you could give your take on how each one performs. Thanks. p.s. Marcus -- you put a...

    Roush 351 Question

    Marcus, For some reason, I've recently become a bit obsessed with the 351 Saleens. Thanks for the info. How did I know you'd have the back story? Joe is a great resource; I've had a few lengthy conversations with him over the years. We're lucky to have him here in the South Bay. --Stu

    Roush 351 Question

    My understanding is Saleen stopped producing cars with the 351 engine (supercharged or not) after '99. Why did Saleen stop producing such a powerful engine after that year? Also, does anyone know what the original list price was for the 351 supercharged model back in '99?

    Roush This is an awesome car. check it out!

    TWENTY THOUSAND HOURS??? That's 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year (let's assume he took at least 2 weeks vacation, since he is European), for 10 straight years. That doesn't leave a lot of time to keep a full-time job and live a normal life.

    Roush Wanting one real bad..

    Good choice on the SC convertible:) . I've got an '06 and I think it's just about the perfect modern muscle car. Just from my own observations, it seems like Saleen produces a fairly small number of supercharged verts compared to the supercharged coupes and the n/a verts and coupes. Out of...

    Why buy GT500 over Saleen PJ?????????

    I'd take a $60k PJ over a $60k Shelby GT500. At $40k, the Shelby begins to look a bit more compelling. Btw, the $15-$25k markup on the Shelbys is why I ultimately went the Saleen route last summer. I have now HEARD of Shelby GT500s finally coming down to MSRP in some markets, but I...

    Roush 05-06 Sideskirts

    I have yet to single car that does not have some sideskirt overhang for either the front or rear wheel well, so the "Ford tolerances" excuse does seem like pure BS. Especially considering the basic design of the sideskirts on the 05-07s seems fundamentally the same as prior body models...
