Default the deed is done!

hi folks, I am now back in England after spending,6 days in Florida and yes I have ordered up a '06 S281sc Saleen in Vista Blue,got it for a little over $55.5k and struck lucky as Saleen had in a chasis when the dealership placed the order! they said approx 2-3 weeks for it to get to the dealer who will then transport it to Jacksonville to be shipped over here to England
took a good long (approx 30mins) test drive in the normal saleen and was very impressed,went back on the second day to finalise paperwork and took a test drive in the SC model and damn I can't wait to get it over here!

Considering how rare they are to see in the US, you will have one special car over there in the UK. Anything around you that will be faster in stock form?

Congrats! I'd also recommend 39# injectors with a 90mm MAF and tune. This will keep you running strong and safe.

faster in a straight line or round corners? in stock form in a straight line will be just cars like Porche,Ferrari etc. around corners add in cars like the subaru imprezza,mitsubishi evo stuff like that

If you ever get your sc installed, you might change your tune. Not all Ferrari's run the 1/4 mile in the 12's.

going slightly off topic now, the question wasnt about comparing the saleen to other cars i.e porche or ferrari,it was a simple question about 'any' car in stock form that would be faster than the saleen in for example a 1/4 mile drag,irrelevant anyway as i cant wait for it to be deliverd and am looking forward to cruising around in it
