To be honest, I don't think that Saleen cars are going to command huge premiums for a long time. It took many years for the original GT500s to really take off in price, and they really have no competition. Saleens have to compete with the factory Shelbys, Roushes, and dozens of other "tuner" car companies. I really don't think this announcement will make much of a difference at all.

20-30 years down the road, it may be another story. I think there are few enough Saleens, and that they differentiate themselves well enough from the other competitors, that I think they will be in demand. I still don't think that the SPV announcement will really effect the values even that far ahead though...
