So I saw a Saleen Focus yesterday...

...and I looked it up today, and found this:

$27,000????

I also found this:
http://www.saleen.com/auto/focus/focus.htm

Basically, it is a ZX3 Focus (not even SVT), with 153 N/A horses, and with a 75 shot of nitrous that comes with the package. Did I mention that the nitrous is not hooked-up, and will NEVER be hooked-up by the dealer? You have to go to an independent shop to get the nitrous installed...and lord knows what that'll do to the warranty.

Question is...WHY?

Steve Saleen is an egotistical money-grubbing prick.

That explains the "Saleen" Focus.

Seriously, the man refused to add traction control, a sequential gearbox, or stability control to his S7 supercar because (in his own words) "The Saleen does not have a flawed chassis. Our competitors are trying to hide flaws with electronics."

Yeah, right Steve. That's why a supercar Ferrari, Pagani, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, Mosler, Spyker, TVR, Maserati, Porsche or Mercedes-Benz can hand your supercar its ass on a platter in international road racing.

In fact, last I checked, weren't your cars having trouble dealing with Corvettes and non-factory Ferrari 575's?

God I hate that man. I met him once at a CART race here at Burke-Lakefront Airport. He was arrogant, self-righteous, and quite aggravated at the fact that Bobby Rahal was getting more attention than him.
