Default I got her!!! - Proud new '06 Saleen owner (Pics!)

Got it off the lot for $45,610. Way more than I wanted to pay (I originally wanted a GT, but I caved). But, I have a total perma grin. Put 64 miles on it so she's got 115 now. Gonna drive her some more tonight. Can't wait to break her in so I can get on it and see what she's got. What do you suggest for break-in period, 500 miles varied RPM under 4k? That's what the dealer told me.

Here are some pics!

I guess we convinced you to cave over in the Saleen area. Great looking car, lots of luck. I would do the tried and true breakin period 1K miles.

Do you plan on modding it or keeping it stock to retain value?

I don't plan on doing any heavy modding, no. I might do a few small things here and there, but I'm really just not sure yet. =)

Just got back from a night drive. Unbelievable car. Cornering is really impressive, the suspension is very noticeably different compaired to the GTs I have driven.

I notice a slight whine in first in second, almost sounds like a muffled turbo or something, anyone know what that is? New belts? Intake?
