Having your Saleen autographed is a chance, for at least a brief moment, to see the genuine, sincere person behind the name. It is hard to keep Steve on schedule because he loves to talk to the owners. You may say that the Saleen vehicles are too expensive for your budget. I once looked at the magazines and really wanted one of those Saleen Mustangs. Everyone needs a goal.

He has been gradually building up the company to a full-fledged powerhouse of automotive excellence. While the launch of the 2009 SMS 570 Challenger at the New York Auto Show last year signaled the seriousness of his new endeavors, the SEMA show in November 2009 high- lighted another new element of Steve’s work, SMS Superparts, a one-stop-shop for all your aftermarket needs for speed. At Detroit 2010, Steve gave a visual glimpse of what the last of the muscle car trio will look like, the SMS 620 Camaro, but the Mustang is what a lot of his fans associate with him. On April 17, 2010, the 46th Anniversary of the launch of the Ford Mustang on April 17, 1964, Steve Saleen introduced his brand new 2011 SMS 302 Mustang. Based on the new 2011 Mustang, it util- izes the 5.0L V8 engine and produces over 440 hp in normally aspirated form and over 535 hp with the patent pending SMS 296 Supercharger.

  • Audi Secures Second Starting Position in Qualifying Thriller Quotes After
    Portland, 4 August 2001 Audi secures second starting position in qualifying thriller Spectators along Portland International Raceway will find a rather unusual picture on Sunday: For the first time in almost 15 months there is not an Audi at the front of the starting grid. After a qualifying thriller for the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) round at Portland, Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen had to relinquish pole position to the fastest Panoz. Team mates Frank Biela and Emanuele Pirro in the companion Infineon Audi R8 will start the race from third place. During only 20 minutes of qualifying on the circuit situated in the US state of Oregon, the Audi drivers executed exciting duels with a lot of position changes on the time screen. The Audi Sport North America team not only fought against the two Panoz cars, but also against the 2000-spec Champion Audi R8 of Andy Wallace and Johnny Herbert. At the end, the former Formula 1 driver achieved fifth position on the grid. The race starts on Sunday at 13 hours local time and runs over a distance of 2:45 hours. Tom Kristensen (#1) and Frank Biela (#2) will start the race in the two Infineon Audi R8s. Quotes after qualifying Rinaldo Capello (#1): “Concerning our tire choice, we were a little bit conservative in qualifying. We knew we would not be that strong in this session because we wanted to work mainly for the race tomorrow.” Tom Kristensen (#1): “Of course it’s a little bit disappointing to be so close to pole and then have to start only from second position.

    The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Robert W. White Department of Sociology and Andrew J. Baker Department of Geography School of Liberal Arts IUPUI We thank Terri Talbert-Hatch and Pete Hylton for their comments and support of Motorsports Studies. Please direct correspondence to Robert White ([email protected]), Professor of Sociology and Director of Motorsports Studies, or Andrew Baker ([email protected]), Lecturer, Department of Geography, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 425 University Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46202. 1 The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Abstract Over the course of its lengthy history, the popularity of open-wheeled automobile racing in the United States has waxed and waned. This is especially evident in recent years. The 1996 “split” between the Indy Racing League (IRL; later, the IndyCar Series) and Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART; later the Champ Car World Series) severely hurt the sport. Following the split there was a well-documented decline in fan interest from which the sport has not recovered. Less understood, however, is that under the Indy Racing League the Indianapolis 500, the premier event in open-wheeled racing in the United States, became more competitive. Ironically, while fan interest decreased in the Indy Racing League era, the quality of racing increased. The increased competition associated with the Indy Racing League is a historically significant development that bodes well for the future of the sport.

  • Office of the Attorney General Florida New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board
    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FLORIDA NEW MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION BOARD CASE SUMMARIES January 1997-March 1998 JURISDICTION: Ramirez & Gendler v. Nissan Motor Corporation, 1996-1143/FTL (Fla. NMVAB Dec. 12, 1996) The Manufacturer asserted that the Board lacked jurisdiction to consider the Consumer’s claim because the defect complained of stemmed directly from an accident. The defect complained of was an electric short with an air bag sensor. The Board concluded that the dispute between the parties to this case involved issues of product liability or negligence connected with the accident. The matters raised in this case were found to be outside the scope of the board’s authority. The claim was dismissed. Darling v. Ford Motor Co., 1997-0758/FTM (Fla. NMVAB Oct. 7, 1997) Prior to the arbitration hearing, the Consumer voluntarily surrendered his vehicle to the Lessor and made no arrangements with the Lessor to regain possession or custody of the vehicle. The Board concluded that Section 681.104(2)(a), Florida Statutes (1995) contemplated that the Consumer would be in possession of the vehicle or otherwise capable of delivering the vehicle to the Manufacturer if the Consumer prevailed in arbitration. Since the Consumer no longer had possession or title to the vehicle, he was not eligible for arbitration by the Board and the case was dismissed. Ramos v. American Isuzu Motors, Inc., 1998-0048/JAX (Fla. NMVAB March 11, 1998) The Consumer purchased her vehicle in Florida but subsequently moved to Connecticut. All of the repairs were performed in Connecticut. The Consumer requested arbitration by the Better Business Bureau in Connecticut and informed the BBB the vehicle had been purchased in Florida.

  • Saleen's Supercar
    Hidden Creek Racing Hidden Creek Racing was a partner with Saleen. The partnership included racing and funding the development of new Saleen automobiles. Hidden Creek owned Saleen SR 00-0004. Hidden Creek and Saleen jointly sponsored the racing operations of the SR. In 2001, Saleen debuted its new supercar, the S7. The development of the S7 was funded by Tony Johnson, of Hidden Creek Racing. Tony Johnson was the head of both Hidden Creek and of Saleen Performance. When the S7 was introduced, Ken Gross, of Forbes Magazine, covered the event. Saleen's Supercar By Ken Gross From Henry Ford, Ettore Bugatti, and Walter P. Chrysler, to Enzo Ferrari and John DeLorean, car company founders have long sought a lasting memorial on the badge of an automobile. Although the wrecking yards of history are littered with once-great emblems that failed--names like Duesenberg, Cord, Tucker and, most recently, Oldsmobile--that hasn't prevented determined men from trying. One of the most recent attempts is being made in the rarified atmosphere of top-line, high-performance supercars--until now, the exclusive province of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and McLaren--designed by racer, car builder and would-be automotive legend, Steve Saleen. Saleen proudly debuted his 2001 Saleen S7, a 200-mph, 550-horsepower, mid-engined road-going supercar, at the Monterey Historic Races on Aug. 19, 2000. Surrounded by the auto press and dozens of curious vintage racers, Saleen confidently stated that he expects to sell 300 to 400 of the sleek, $375,000 S7s over a four-year period. "It's always been my dream to build a supercar," Saleen said proudly, "and here it is at last." Financing for this ambitious project has come from an "angel" who shares Saleen's dream of high-octane carmaking.
