Go for the saleen. Just take it to a shop to have the clunk looked at. Might be control arm bolts as thats what it was with my friend's rear end clunk. Funny thing is...his is a "Faleen"(Fake Saleen...)lol so just have that checked out and then youre good to go. Believe me, if i were where you are, that saleen wouldnt be there tomorrow.

No stang fr me yet

Well, didn't get the Saleen. Being over 7 years old the interest on a loan was higher. Checked my 3 banks and credit unions I have accounts at, all the same. In the long run, I decided to wait and get something with 4 valves that I can slowly play more with. Thanks for all the info. I will be lurking still and learning more.

She still wants a 60's model, but I am not sure about that. They just don't have the creature comforts to be a daily driver.

She has been pretty patient with me and my 944S, I really want to get her a funner toy than the Excursion to drive everyday. She deserves it. Granted i know I will have to drive her car to make sure there is no carbon build up.

Go with saleen just check to ensure it is a true saleen. So you are going to buy a car that is faster than your 944s???
