Cliffs notes at end.
After seeing Hollywood Homicide staring Harrison Ford, Josh Hartnett, and a very beautifull 01-04 silver Saleen Vert. I got a hard on for Saleens again. Some of you might remember i was here a while back nosing around about em.
Last time you guys said it was better to get a non S/C and just slap a KB on it. I've been looking and ive found that a lot of s/cs are just 1-2k above non s/cs, might be nice to just get one of those and have fun with it. Then i saw Gonan's post where he found a few Es at 25-28k, now thats the deal since it already has forged internals etc.
Quick question, someone said that all saleen superchargers are inferior to KB, but if the series V is a 2.3L whipple aint that a pretty damn good supercharger?
Then i looked at maybe getting a low mileage GT and just piecing together a clone. All the bodywork/paint/suspension/brakes really adds up quickly, and theres just something special about being able to say, "yeah, its real." Thats why i think it would be more fun owning a s/c saleen than one of 20,000 03/04 cobras.
So some of the "deals" ive seen are 01-04 s/cs with anywhere from 8k miles - 40k miles for around 23k, some verts scattered in there too. Good deals or no?
How rare are the Saleen seats and optional 6 speed on s/cs and base models as wel, anyone know?
CLIFFS NOTES
1. I got a hard on for saleens
2. Is the series V a badass blower and comparable to a KB?
3. Is a 01-04 S/C with 8k-40k miles for 23k a good deal?
4. How rare are the Recaro Saleen seats and 6 speed trans on base and s/c models
5. What 6speed trans is it? t-56?
6. Am i crazy looking to get a saleen and supercharge it or get a 281 s/c, and should i just get a 03/04 cobra instead?
7. You are awesome if you read all this and answer any of it!
