Oh man you guys.


Ever since Saleen moved from Long Beach they have been sloppy with gears. I know of three cars in particular that were supposed to have the max-grip and did not. It's easier to print another option on the window and slap a decal then actually install the gears. Saleen has been doing that SH#* for years.

so my car is suppose to have the max grip so how can i find out if it realy does and with the max grip what gears are suppose to be in it.

Car looks great. That is bright red. See, those are the quality of picture that guy needed when he was trying to sell it on eBay. But that's good for you he didn't.

The 02 E cars came standard with 3.08's. They went to 3.55 standard in 03.

Well, if you lived closer I would be able to tell if I drove it. The only way to know for sure is to crack the pumpkin open.

I really do love this car but I have some reasons...

The guy I sold my 66 coupe to, who stuck another $16K into it (I had $22K into it) has decided to sell it and I just can't let it go. I regret selling it in the first place and while I know the Saleen is a great all around car I miss the power of my coupe. I know that I could, with more time & money make the Saleen what I want it to be but I just don't feel it for this car like I do for my coupe. This is a killer car and I have stuck $2K into it in the last two months....

That's it, plain and simple and if it doesn't sell, I only spent $50 skins testing the waters and I will drive and enjoy it for awhile, we'll see.

Jack your rear tires off the ground. You should have posi. Inside your diff you should have what looks like a t-lock posi with a Saleen stamping.
