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

    Hell, I'd rather poke myself in both eyes than make a round trip drive to anywhere in Texas. :p Seriously, Edge, if one of your pin points includes San Diego let me know & I can make some dining & entertainment recommendations.

    Roush nice 88 fox on ebay............

    Who knows what unpleasant surprises lurk underneath all that shiny new paint, restored interior & other obviously recent cosmetics... :eek: I haven't yet checked the Saleen Book to confirm some of the claims about the car, but I'm rather dubious about the "factory installed roll cage" claim...

    Roush fox body rocker panel stickers

    I used to own 89-0408 & it, too, was a stripe delete with the decals delivered to the dealer in the hatch area. For the first year or so I kept it that way because I preferred the monochrome white look. Then my next door neighbor decided to purchase a white '89 coupe with the stripe delete so I...

    Roush 11th Annual Saleen Show Irvine (Pics)

    Geez & here I thought I was the bitter, cynical old man on this site regarding Saleen Inc. :eek: FWIW my personal opiinion about the decision to incorporate the annual Saleen show into the Fun Ford Weekend event merely epitomizes what Marcus, Robert, myself & others like us have been saying...

    Roush Dont buy from vista ford in woodland hills calif!

    FoMoCo is losing market share because some buffoon salesman @ a dealership says something that insults a customer?!? Really? I'm sure there is empirical evidence to support this fact, right? FYI - dealerships are independently owned franchises that are not directly controlled by the...

    Roush 11th Annual Saleen Show Irvine (Pics)

    OK, I admit it. You really had me going there, Marcus... :rlaugh: While you & Robert were making your "statement" my wife & I were enjoying the sun, surf & suds @ Pacific Beach. :p

    Roush Dont buy from vista ford in woodland hills calif!

    Here we go again with those same laments about how awful dealerships are in treating potential customers when it comes to trade-in values, "market adjusted prices" & the overall arrogance, not to mention ignorance, of the sales staff. These complaints are so ubiquitous they are becoming...

    Roush Fox Shocks

    Does Monroe still make the Formula GP line? I haven't seen anything about them since I purchased my original Saleen in 1989. Ditto on the Konis. Pricey but worth it.

    Roush Nice white Saleen GT500...

    Personally I'm not a big fan of the new Saleens or the GT-500s. However, if by some chance I was going to seriously consider either, I'd choose to have something like this as it's the proverbial "best of both worlds" not unlike owning a S281 Cobra. The blue over white color scheme obviously...

    Roush Style points = 0

    Believe it or not someone actually placed a bid @ the seller's starting bid of $15K. Obviously this someone has the same "style" as the seller. :rlaugh: However, the reserve hasn't been met. I can only imagine what the seller believes it to be worth. Now if it just had those super...

    Roush Style points = 0

    A friend of mine to whom I also sent this link mentioned the S351 badges, too. Honestly I didn't even notice them because I was too traumatized by the overall mish mash of components; ABC Composites hood & side skirts, replica 2000 Cobra 'R' front valence, replica '99-'04 Saleen rear...

    Roush Style points = 0

    As the seller states, it may have been modified to "his style" but points are usually deducted for tastlessness: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-Mustang-SALEEN-S281_W0QQitemZ260158593247QQihZ016QQcategoryZ6236QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Granted this is just another plebian...

    The FIA & T1 wings may be heavy & non-aerodynamic, but they certainly look cool. :cool:

    Hmmm... S351 or S331... S351 or S331... S351 or S331... Seems like a pretty obvious decision to me. :p

    Roush S351RSpeedster

    Isn't it a bit frivolous to only own a car for a few months, spend a boodle on it in modifications then turn around & sell it back to the dealership from whom you originally purchased it so you can buy something else?!? :shrug: Oh, wait, I guess I've just described myself... :bang:

    Roush Saleen accused of illegally modifying cars

    If this is indeed related to the N2O Focii, then I don't understand wherein lies the violation. From all that I know about the nitrous systems installed by Saleen to their S121 Focus models, they never actually hooked up the solenoids nor filled the bottle therefore the nitrous system was...

    Roush Saleen show @ Fun Ford Weekend

    Since the poobahs @ Saleen Inc. have decided not to sponsor the annual Saleen show this year & instead roll it into the Fun Ford Weekend @ CA Speedway the third weekend in October, I wanted to ask if anyone is planning on attending or if there is some group event being planned? The San Diego...
