Default 06-853 just arrived home

Here it is. The dealership and I finally agreed on 25 even out the door (plus DMV fees).

Below are some quick photos I snapped with my phone. I hope you enjoyed my and my father's story with this car thus far hehe. Feel free to ask anything and I'll try and answer them as best I can.

Now, for some photos.







I'll post some of the rear once I have time to black out the license :)

Looks like you need to at a minimum get the 475 upgrade pronto.

Nice Ride! I love the color. Looks like you live in Oregon? I live in Bend, can't wait to take mine out this spring.

I was hoping that you would pull the trigger on that car.

Thanks all. Now to break some hearts. The SALEEN stickers on the windshield are coming off. Don't like, don't feel the need to advertise that its a Saleen more than how it looks and sounds already. Its a 24 buck replacement kit so if I ever sell it it can go back on but in the meantime I like a clear windshield and understated stance.

I realize some people like the stock look and I respect that. But this car will look better without the lettering IMO. The production number on the bumper will STAY though.

Other than a Fluidyne radiator and rims, the car is bone stock as far as I can tell. It did come with the MYcolor dash and Shaker 1000 audio system which are nice. But I find myself turning off the music just to listen to the engine most of the time :).
