walc ~ 142 seems like a lot of miles ? Could have been something that they needed to fix and do the test drive agin. Wonder what other Saleens came with on the ODD.

Mine came with 11, and ~2 of those were the dealership OWNER driving it up the road to fill it prior to my acceptance.

I thought so, too; although, it didn't bother me, because I figured it was throughly factory tested.
Total miles, on the odometer, when I bought it, was 148. On the window, was an official-looking Saleen sticker saying that Saleen had driven it 142 miles, for testing/quality control.

Good thread guys.

I can't get in touch with my local dealership to ask about PJ build #57. Another ebay shows #56 on the ground. That tells me with all the guys that pre-ordered, there has to be at least SOMEONE that owns this thing and could post pictures, give a ride report, etc... It drives me nuts! Maybe I'm not that good at searching the internet for that kind of stuff.

I may be in one of these things in the next 3 weeks. You can bet I'll spread the word on the S302 PJ.

My 2006 S281 SC came with 8 miles on it when I picked it up from the dealer. I was wondering does anyone know what the center gauge pod on the PJ is used for? On the SC they display boost and intercooler readings. The PJ is not supercharged so I was wondering what Saleen is using them for? Let me know if you have any idea what they read. I think its a good look on the car, but I was wondering about functionality.

If it is the same as the proto car, It has oil pressure and oil temp.

The #s for the side and the driver names come in a kit in the trunk, they are static cling and can be installed and removed many times

What happens with the autographs of PJ+SS if one cleans the dashboard?

Kenardo ~ I also miss the " PARNELLI JONES "name above the drivers door ! I hope, Saleen does it really make available .

Saleen Parnelli Jones Limited Edition Build Number 57 is in my GARAGE right now!!!!

I'll post some pics tomorrow after a wash. I 'test drove' it from OKC to Tulsa today and bought it this evening!


Just came back from dinner out with the wife and the awesome PJ Saleen!!! I'm totally excited. It looks like Christmas came early!

First impressions (there will be more tomorrow w/ pics)

1) FAST - This thing is high revving, high compression, and all balls.
2) AWESOME EXHAUST NOTE - I think this is tuned for maximum attention or something. (Read: very good).
3) WELL DONE - From top to bottom, this car has signs of being well thought out and balanced. I'll touch more on this as soon as I can properly find the words....


If anyone's thinking about a PJ Saleen, #57 is taken, but #126 is up for grabs! I think they will continue the Ebay auction at Midwest City with that car. Let me know and I can give you details on the dealership.

Thanks All!!


Chuck

Awesome!!! Enjoy it.

I'm curious how many times people will think your name is Parnelli if you put those stickers on the car

FYI - I started another thread with pics earlier today. Kenardo: let me know if you have any questions about the car. I've only had it a day now, but I know it was driving me crazy trying to find someone who had one!

I think I'm the only PJ owner in the state. Joe Cooper is the only authorized Saleen Dealer around here. There may be another in OK depending on how the ebay auction goes for the car I was waiting on - #126.

Thanks again!

Chuck

p.s. - wondering how long it will take those Sharpie signatures from wearing off!! hheehe

Wow you bought your Saleen from JOE COOPER in Midwest City, what a small world that is where I bought mine from just over a year ago. Hopefully Mike Wicker took good care of you as he did me when I placed my order. Take advantage of the Joe Cooper card it is good for a few free oil changes and some good things. Good luck with the ride again its very sharp.

Cheers!
