Well lets see it was a nice day yesturday here in New Mexico so I figured I
would take the Saleen out for a spin. So I was going to back it out of the garage and dust it off, so I get in the car start it up and put it in reverse and start backing up and then I here this big bang and then something falling over and it sounded like a big toy hitting the ground, it was my 2001 GSXR 600. Well I broke the miror, broke the cluth handle cracked the front fearing and scratched it and scratched the hell out of the rear fearing. But you know I was not mad about my bike, I looked at my bumber and about just about hit the roof it was not to bad but there are some scratches in the back bumper being a black car you can see them very well. Well I guess I have an excusses to get the front bumper fixed now also. So I just I would let you guys know about my day. and just venting.

Here.

I can make you feel better.

On Jan 3rd my wife got broadsided by an elderly woman in my Escalade. Took off the front bumper, headlamp, fender etc. She said she did not see the truck when she pulled out of the parking lot???

Just this morning, yes this picture was taken 2 hours ago, I wake up to a knock on my front door. My neighbor was leaving this morning and she said the "sun was in her eyes". Whatever. Eh?

OUCH

that does suck whenever you cause yourself damage like that. I saw you have a snow performance methanol injection and an sct posted some pretty impressive numbers any other mods? did your fuel pump keep up or is the rest of the car pretty much stock? I would love to get some of your input on my own project! Hope to hear from you soon!

Yes I do have the snow performance kit and I love it. The rest of the car is stock, I gained 40rwhp and 40rwtq with the kit. When I went to the dyno my car was real rich about 10.8 so I just fixed that and will be going back to dyno the car again in about a month or so to see my numbers hopefully I will see 360rwhp, with room for more if i want. and yes I am getting my tunes with the SCT tuner.

Man that sucks to hear. I did the same thing a few years ago. Didn't to that much damage though. Just a couple of scratches on the car. Didn't really hurt the bike.

yeah man it does suck it will cost me about $300 dollars to fix the bike and about another $300 for the car. the thing that realy sucks is that 2 days prior to hitting the bike i listed it in the local paper to sell.

I have a tweecer however I have to put the new motor in before I use it. That thing is pretty slick! I figured a wideband o2, a tweecer, and a gtech pro would save me bundles on dyno time.
