My uncle's Christmas present

[Jay 02 TA ws6]

The saleen is SC'd and the fastest of all his cars in the group. That's why. I'm not big on Fords, but that car is just so bad. His other cars are stock. His supra has under 10K on the clock.

Valet is all right. You don't get paid good by the owner you work on tips.

I've raced a SC'ed Saleen. The supercharged S281 is nothing to get overly excited about. Fast car, yes... but you may be able to take it out in your Z28.

If he's got the S281-E, then that's a different story... or maybe he has an aftermarket blower on it.

Did he tell you it's the fastest? If it is, then he's got lots of aftermarket stuff done to it... there is NO WAY a stock supercharged Saleen will outrun a Z06. The Z06 is a full second-and-a-half faster in the quarter mile. And that's a HUGE difference to make up.

BTW.......... next time you see him, ask him how much he'd sell his Supra for.......

Sweet fancy Moses your Uncle has to be the luckiest man alive, that is a lot of torque. I would love one day to see even 400 ft-lb tq. That thing is sick no matter how you look at it, a pure exotic that would tear the balls off of any car on the road. I would love to expierience that kind of power one day

What the heck does your uncle do anyway, Tracy? Holy crap he must be loaded. Sounds like a guy that came into the Chevy dealership I used to work at. He came in wearing cut off jean shorts and a t-shirt with a baseball cap. Not one salesman would talk to him cause he looked like he didn't have any money. Finally one of the guys goes up and asks if he needs any help. The guy says he wants to buy a Corvette...actually he wanted two of them. So they are writing up the deal and the guy's wife says that she has changed her mind on the color she wanted and says she liked the Metallic Red one better. So the guy nonchalantly says to just go ahead and put that one on the deal too. Wrote a check for them. Then, like a week later he comes in and trades in his Ferarri F355 for three Silverado Pickups for his Butler, His driver, and his Maid. Then pocketed the rest of the trade in value. My boss in the used car dept had a heck of a time finding a buyer for the Ferarri, but finally sold it to a wholesaler. Then the guy brings in a Mercedes of some sort that was worth over a hundred thousand and wants us to sell it. It sat on the lot for like a month before the owner of the dealership finally got nervous enough about having that much of a car sitting on an open lot to where he just called the guy to come and pick it up. Come to find out the guy had sold some sort of .com type business in California that he owned and got like $100 million for it. And apparently he had another company in Dallas worth about as much that he was keeping. The guy apparently just bought exotic car after exotic car, drove them for a while and then sold them, then bought another one and so on and so forth. Oh and that Magnetic red vette? They brought it back and I'm not sure if he traded it or if he wanted us to sell it on consignment, but it had only like 200 miles on it and the glass top hadn't even been taken out of the box it was in in the back. The plastic liner was still on the deck mat in the back and the cd changer hadn't ever been used. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to be that rich.

Commercial realestate.

Sweet. I think I would want the McLaren. Something about that is just too wicked.

Commercial realestate.

I am guessing with my 3 year plan for my company, I could be able to pruchase that AMG in a few years. Anybody who wants to make hella grip needs to get in good with somebody who kows the commercial RE gig. I started with my uncle(worth about 15 million) 6 months ago and love the work as well.

I had a chance to go check it out in person last night. It has 19"wheels, 8 piston brake calipers and uses a A/C compressor to push refrigerant through the intercoolers. It actually has 2 A/C compressors! I was disapointed that they put a huge trim cover ontop the motor, it prevents you from being able to see it.

The trunk is neat, when opened the LCD screen in the dash turns on and displays a MB logo. When closed the LCD screen shuts off. The mechanism for the folding hardtop top is a mechanical masterpiece. I didnt see a spare tire anywhere, so I'm assuming the tires are run-flats. It had Bridgestone Potenza's on it. The interior is a work of art, with real wood trim and sweet seats. The only thing I've seen that compares was a Z8 BMW. I cant wait to get a ride, or maybe even drive it if I promise to be "nice".
