    From Auto Blog:

    "After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.

    For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.

    On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. . . .

    Scroll down for the full Saleen press release with more information on these commemorative SA-30 muscle cars

    "This year marks the 30th anniversary of Saleen as a specialty vehicle manufacturer. To commemorate the event, Saleen Automotive will be producing 3 variations of its SA-30 model.

    "Through our automotive passion we celebrate every day that we are able to continue to design, develop, and produce the cars that we manufacture", said Steve Saleen. "Once every five years, I celebrate the achievements with the automotive community through a commemorative vehicle."
    As the sixth edition in the SA series, the Saleen Anniversary series vehicles have become well known and coveted among collectors and enthusiasts for their exclusivity and extremely low production numbers. Each anniversary edition vehicle also traditionally boasts a balanced blend of Saleen legacy and future enhancements.

    Limited Production

    A total of thirty Saleen SA-30 vehicles will be produced, ten each of a Saleen 620 Camaro, 570 Challenger, and 302 Mustang. Although each Saleen model is based on a different platform, all Saleen SA-30 vehicles will share a common theme: Saleen Racing Heritage."


    Any takers for $95,000? Too expensive? What if the girl is included??

    Saleen made a good name with the modified Mustangs and I like some of them, but Saleen Challengers.. not for me. I don't care for the exterior modifications Saleen does, Dodge got it right. The R/T's need to be lowered, the SRT's look good as they come, Saleen doesn't improve the looks at all in my mind. $95K... overpriced. Way overpriced.

    Nice looking car. But at 95K that is a ton of money. You could just about get a Hellcat & an SE for that money or just buy a VIPER.
