Well i was waiting at an intersection fo the light to turn green and when it did i took off and there came this guy from my right side,crossed my way and i slamed into him.
I hit his fender with my front end,he was driving a 1990 MAZDA MPV a Junk!
Well guess what.....his car has some minimal damage and my car is gone!
I'm talking the whole front end the side panels the doors are out of alignment because the the panels pushed them in.....i mean that bumper saleen produces is made out of freakin rubber.....the aluminum block that's underneath the bumper,that is suposed to protect you from an impact is hanging from the front of the car......
I mean considering the damage on that MPV which is nothing my car looked like a train hit it!
I was embarassed standing on the street and people pointing at my car and then the MPV and laughing.....
But my main concern is that the brakes suck!!!! i steped on the brakes so hard before the impact and they did not grip as i expected from them to do in a case of an emergency.....! i mean i was driving only like 25 mph at the most but still it hapend.....
I drive a Boxster and a Mercedes Coupe and let me tell you something these brakes are freakin awesome!but the saleen brakes suck!!!
So to finish my story,the damage on the car is about 6000$$$ and it will take about 20-25 working days to fix the car,i made it clear to them that i need original saleen parts and need to have my production numbers on the bumper,i asked them to put on a mach1 grill unstead of the original mustang grill that came on the car......
Does anyone have their brakes upgraded on the saleen,and i hope i'm not the only one who thinks that the brakes are the weaker part on the Saleens.....(unless you go with the brembo upgrade of course)
Thanx Guys.....
