this is a nice solution to the "should I buy the turbo saleen off ebay" question... just find another saleen that has been owned by one old guy and buy it from him... for ~$4000 cheaper

that car needs saleen wheels on it
if you do HIDs, please look into doing projectors as well/retrofitting your headlights

imo, saleens look really funny without saleen wheels

Do us all a favor and buy a car, make it your own, and keep it for a while (which for you is like what, anything over a month?)

Nice car. The rims are nice, but don't fit that car. Also, get smoked headlights. The chrome headlights just look so weird with that kit.

And yea, a Saleen is just an GT with a bodykit, but hey, it's an official Saleen, man!

No earthly idea why you would choose this car over the other Saleen. Bad decision.

And had about 9000$ more in parts on it... I fail to see the problem... Heck, the intake is around 1000$, Turbo system good for around 3k, not to mention the fact that it has to have upgraded pumps, injectors, fuel rails, etc to support the hp. I am also around 90% positive that if someone put that much money putting on a turbo system, upgraded fuel rails, intake that the heads/cams are not stock and are worth at least another 1200$. It most likely has a forged bottom end as well. Don't even get me started on the fact that the black one has a fully upgraded suspension and has the center exit exhaust system and bumper. This is a no contest decision. Black one hands down. Oh, and not to mention the ****ty hood on the white one as opposed to the Saleen hood on the black one along with rims, upgraded brakes ect.
