What everybody else said.

You'll have no traction WOT on stock rubber/suspension. I love driving this thing around town - more acceleration than I know what to do with.

I'm working on my suspension this winter and then I'll put on my big wheels and sticky tires this spring.

I have never driven nor riden in a Saleen S/C car. Mine is N/A for only the next month hopefully. I have driven a Whippled GT multiple times (483rwhp). I love just putting the pedal halfway down in second as to keep traction, yet throw me back tremendously. I can pretty much floor it in 3rd but I still sometimes skip the tires a little. Twin screws are just all around phenomenal, I highly recommend them.

I am getting the Saleen blower BTW

I got the saleen 475 kit and installed it, Its a daily driver 5 miles one way to work, Its nice to know if you want the power its there, I have taken it on a few trips since having it dynoed and tuned and the milage is running aout 23 or so thats with a few burst to about 5500, yes 1st and second dont like the tires to much, 3rd and 4th hold on, I need a boost pump or new hipo pumps, Yes I would recomend the saleen, easy install in the garage, just take your time and follow the instrucions,its well hidden under the hood of an 07.when i had it tuned at JPC it was right at 420 to the wheels with 6 lbs , I am hoping for some 390 gears in the near future, Its quite till you floor it then hold onto the oh **** handles, race track opens in 2 weeks so I will have to wait till then to see what other number it will bring.

Actually, that, the KB, the Roush, they're all ugly for the same reason. Silly inlet rig.

The Saleen inlet is right up front in the stock location. Looks professional, like it belongs there.
