Well my G6 was paid off and I was looking around to replace it but my Wife doesnt want me to get rid of the G6. She wants to regulate it to our traveling car for trips.
Sounds good to me. I will also use it whenever & may play some more with it now that its not a DD. ;-)
Anyway I was looking around and met an old Saleen employee who had orignally sold this car. He then told me that he is now working for a Ford Dealership and had seen the original owner and they got to talking. Turns out he was ready to sell the car and buy something else. He had it for sale for several months and had many nibbles but no one serious. He then dropped the price to something I could afford.
Its a 2006 Ford Mustang Saleen S281E black coupe. The E stands for Extreme.
The Extreme model starts at 550hp.
It is serial numbered 06-0108 and it has 38k miles on it.
So I meet the owner and we started talking about the car.
Its garage kept and immaculate. The owner is one of the nicest guys I think I have ever met.
Anyway.... My Wife had wanted me to get the new Taurus SHO but at 47k there were allot of other cars out there that I liked better....and are also cheaper than that!!
Soooo I flew to CA last Wednesday and bought the car. It was like brand new.
The only thing I could find was there was a crack in the front air diffuser so we pulled it off the car and it will be looked at this week for repair.
Drove it to SMS Supercars and with the help of a few guys from the Saleen Owners Club I was able to meet Steve Saleen. Steve signed both the dash and the supercharger.
I then drove it back to Texas.
Here are some pix of the car:

Steve signing the dash:
Then with some coaxing from Jim (a Saleen Owners Club buddy -you can see in this pix- white shirt) Steve signed the supercharger.
This Extreme has upgraded fuel injectors and pulley also.
Its a dream to drive and the power is just unbelievable.
Here is the original window sticker.
I paid close to 16k less than I would have had I bought a Taurus SHO.
Seeing as how I have never seen a used Extreme go for less than 45 I was one happy camper.
Sooooo The G6 is still in the stable but I have a new toy.
I also ordered a license plate for it:
Google it if you dont know what it means.
