Well, after visiting Saleen in October of last year and just last week this year, I've finally ordered my car:

-- Saleen SC281 with:

* Performance cooling package (hey, it gets HOT in Reno in the summer!)
* 3.73 rear end
* 5 spoke forged wheels/tires
* High intensity headlamps
* Watts link!
* Deletion of Saleen rear wing (just too clunky for my taste)
(Why do I have to pay them NOT to paint a wing and drill holes in the trunk lid?)
* Lizstick red

I considered going with some silver stripes on the red, but eventually decided against it. Choosing between the red and Beryllium was a tough choice; in the end, the Beryllium was more striking but the red was more handsome-- at least to me.

Hopefully I will be able to pick this car up directly at the Saleen facility in Irvine rather than at a dealer. Current plan is to pick the car up on or about April 4, and I'll post pics when I do...

Sounds really nice... good luck with it... why such long wait?

It's only about 7 weeks; the custom paint adds almost a month to the build time, you know.

Also, I have to drive it back from Irvine to Reno, going through the 7,000+ foot Donner Pass, and I want there to be a reasonable chance of "No snow".

Nice color choice.

+1 in keeping the SC wing off. I prefer the clean look of the lip spoiler only, SC or not. I LOVE that color choice also!

Awesome choices bud! Thats gonna be a sweet ride.

+100 on the wing delete. Side note: wings slow you down in the 1/4 mile.

Congradulations. Sorry to rain on your parade but, Custom paint is going to take a long, long, time, be prepared to have your patience tried many times. The end result will be worth it, if you can get through the long, long, wait, [sm=icon_blah.gif],seriously long. If youPlan on June or July deliverythe wait will be easier, anytime sooner would be overly ambious for Saleen. Best Wishes and practice patience.

Hm. I hope not, 'cause my parents are flying from Abilene, Texas to Irvine that week just to meet me and pick up the car (Dad's a car enthusiast as well, although I think he prefers flying...they'll fly their own plane out there).

My fingers are crossed...

S281 E

Damn....fly their own plane. I hope I'm interpreting that wrong.
