Raced a 02' Saleen, 01' cobra, and a freaky LS-1. - Page 2

Does the rear bumper cover say Saleen or Mustang. On a real Saleen.

They say Saleen, have three slots across the bottom, and one is pictured below. Note the S281 badging in place of the GT.

I know they say that the camera adds 10lbs... but geez, that car's got a ghetto booty on it.... I've seen them in person before, this one just looks like it needs to be on Jenny Craig... nice car though

If that is a real Saleen there they didn't do a very good job of fitting the rear spoiler on it - the left side is higher than the right...

It's way exaggerated in that picture. I think it has something to do with the angle, and why the bumper looks so big.

That would be car # 322, and the guy scanned his window sticker. That would be a lot of special effort for a fake. Check out his old speedster too.

Well, exaggerated or not, look above each taillight. Looks like crap to me.

Got any pics of your car, by reading your sig it sounds sweet

It's like looking at Jimmy Durante's nose through a wide angle lens. That has to be like a 18mm lens shot. Quite a bit of distortion.

I have more but they are on my computer at home and the connection is so slow compared to my work I haven't messed with posting them.

Blue, that's a good looking car. I'm partial to the torq thrusts.
