    Dan Gurney Saleen

    Friend of mine who used to drive Indy cars for Gurney just bought this car:

    Gurney Saleen

    Literally, *that* car -- the one in the picture on the website. He lives around the corner and I have to watch him drive by. At least I'll get a chance to drive it.

    Cheers,
    JohnA

    The local Ford dealer quit Saleen because they couldn't (according to them) back up the numbers they quoted. Roush "makes" the numbers.

    Check out this video:

    Saleen is claimed to be lighter by 300 pounds and makes more hp yet is slower by over 1 second to 100mph and got whipped 0-60 and in stopping too!
