^ Nope, not Saleens (unless someone drilled the rivits), but look like knock-offs to me. Look in customer rides sections in the sticky's.

Really? ... hmmmm, OK

I actually did a search just after that post and could not find any that were authentic. It may be that The Jmac was not referring to them actually being authentic, but rather just the style and I would agree.

Jazzer.... doin' the two-step out of a previous post

EDIT: Guess I had the page open too long before my reply.... a bit late it would seem
