Parked next to my co workers 05 Saleen.
 

I have always thought my car was pretty sweet until today. I parked next to one of my team members 05 Sonic Blue Saleen. His car looked so awesome compared to mine that i started to park somewhere else. :o It just seems like no matter how much time and money i put into my car... it will never be on that level.

I guess i am a little out of my league to be racing him...... but i aint never scared .:cool:

A Saleen is a Saleen and unless you have a Roush or another Saleen its kind of hard to compare. Saleens have alot of eye candy.

I have yet to see a 05 Saleen. But im sure i will piss my pants when I do, and flap like a seal. :eek: ar ar ar ar ar ar ar

Untrue, because there is the S281 and the S281SC (supercharged)

XLR8 said it true.... as far as 2005 models go, unless you have the 40+ thousand dollar SC Saleen or just as expensive stage 3 SC Roush, any decently modded GT or Cobra will dust them in a race. There are very very few of the supercharged 2005 Saleens and Roushs on the street today, all the rest just look pretty.

Uh Huh, you could smoke him man. Especially if you can drive, and dont park somewhere else, park with him. Mustang row...

I was talking about looks, 75% of the post was about that how did you miss that :p

Educated eye
 

The educated eye will not be fooled. Bet his car sits higher than yours - is taller - and of course, its heavier (looking and in reality).

Get yours detailed to the max (a lot of what you're seeing is new car shine) and try to keep it there. If he parks in a garage every night and you don't, this will be very very tough...

As for racing, unless he has the Extreme, you own his butt in the 1/4 mile (woe be unto you in a road course, however). If you want to compete on looks against the new car shine, another path is the white soap paint in the window with your best et.

Beat that, showboat Saleen!

This thread is worthless without pics! :rolleyes:

those supercharged 05 saleens are sick, i saw one on the other side of a busy 4 lane road and took like 10 minutes trying to get across and turn around just to see it. silver supercharged saleen with mirror fading to black tint.... one of the nicest looking cars ive seen in a long time

I agree, I could have at least took a picture with my camera phone but i was too busy hating and in awe at the same time.

I think you hit it on the money when you said "Get my car detailed".

Got a couple of pics. of his car with my camera phone
 

His car is not even washed and it still looks this good. :mad: Hate, hate, hate

Time for a race
 

Invite him out for a friendly cruize. See if he'll race for fun.

You've got the edge under the hood, unless he's extreme.

Squash him. It wil make you feel better. You know it will.

I go back to my original statement,stop comparing your stang to a Saleen you cant compare. The Saleen looks fast standing still at least if they are going to steal one it will not be yours ;)

Yeah they look good, but all they are (unless you get the SC one) are a GT with pulleys and a cold air(as far as HP is concerned) They had one at the track the last time I went and the best he could pull was a 13.8, because of those 20" wheels that kick there @$$ in the 1/4. So I say park right in front of him and do a big fat nasty burnout, and let him hear that SC wine. :D

Now, I dont condone street racing, but...lol. His car is sexy, BUT, they are right, theres nothing special about them other than some ghetto wheels and some nice urethane.

All you guys are just haters :p .
