A friend of mine bought a 2007 Ford Saleen Quad cab truck. He wanted me to come take a look and drive it. It looked good but still not as nice as the SRT-10's. I did several hard launches and basically ran the chit out of it. My SRT would no dought leave it sitting. Maybe it just needs a few mods to wake it up. Has anyone else had any driven or raced one.

Not a Saleen but a Roush F150...in my Dodge Magnum R/T (lightly modded)...@ highway plus speeds...I was toying with him for miles and he was furious that he couldn't get around me. Fuggin' joke...
 
there a joke ,,,,,if your buddy wanted speed he bought the wrong truck
 
I saw a Saleen wannabe today with fast looking hood pins... :dontknow: if that counts..
 
I never raced the saleen but I did race a Roush truck..Those things are not fast at all...its all stickers:D :D :D :D

Well he is a friend and he asked me to. I drove it and told him how nice it was. I didn't want to really tell him what I thought. ( It was sort of pretty) But it sure was no SRT-10. I wouldn't own one.

Well Roy, it is like driving a Volvo Wagon:p or my VW :D I love my VW:rock: :marchmellow: :marchmellow: :marchmellow: :marchmellow:
 
And I love driving my Volvo Sport Wagon...but the roads here in Illinois are terrible and with my very low profile Goodyear F1's it is becoming painful...it is slammed and the M&H springs and Bilstein shocks are so stiff (nice word) that the pot holes are greatly magnified.

It may have to go...in the near future.

Ive raced one. Little bit of tire spin on the launch. I put a little distance on him in first, not very much, it was pretty close. Second gear it was over. I walked him really bad. Friend of mine that has a Chevy Siverado SS was with me. He wanted to go home and get his truck to come race the Saleen and make him look bad. Both of us were expecting a better race.

?????:dontknow: ?????

You mean the '99 through '04 Gen2 Supercharged Lightning Truck had problems getting into the 13's?

My '99 L never went slower than 13.7 @ 99.8. That was stock w/ 700 miles on the odometer.

And with just a silly rigged up K&N (that was sitting in my attic from another car) it went 13.3 @ 102.
