plus they are staying rather firm on the $20k price tag.
at most i was going to offer them $5k.
just becuse it would be cool to own a one off car, even if it is kinda ugly.
I'm actually willing to go quite a bit higher than that... $20K is ridiculous (as is $5K). They'll get the message eventually. $12K is a happy price - and man do I have the drivetrain (and other resources) to give this Saleen back some serious "respect!" Car shows and maybe a Magazine article. Could happen. I�ll bet Keith at ADC would love to see this thing show up next spring!
I haven't contacted them because who needs the stress and the expense of all that?
I'm going to offer my 2000 Black SVT for sale as soon as I have 65,000 miles on it. Someone will get a no-fooling, legitimately great deal.
When I'm down to two low mileage SVTs, and before I start serious Turbo 3L conversion on one of my tropic green 99 SVTs this fall, maybe then I'll send them a more than fair offer - which they will of course refuse! 
Hey, I could throw a car in with the offer...
Does anyone from Saleen monitor this board?
Regardless, its still one ugly car...but with show quality paint and enough horsepower, no one will mind. 
99 Tropic Green SVT, Tan Leather, 20K miles, "Nice Twin" (factory stock).
99 Tropic Green SVT, Tan Leather, 28K miles, "Evil Twin" (Turbo AER 3L and more in progress)
96 Red LX, Opal Grey Leather 2.5L, ATX, 22K miles
