Im in the detroit metro area and found this sick tuner car modified by saleen, i was hoping to get some input from you guys on this because im new to tuner cars, but just really want to get into them.

Heres the link:
http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/ctd/1431136128.html

I really think this is a good buy, and its right in my price range, and its very rare because steve saleen usually only modifies mustangs. I wanna know if i can put a supercharger in this i4 or if i should get a v6 and plop in in there. And in general i just wanna know if you guys think this car is a joke or not.

Im 18 and think this would be the perfect buy for me. I only have a shitty 93 toyota celica now and its just a straight up beater and i don't feel like modifying it because of all the body damage and stuff it has to it. I just want some input on this ford focus.

-Thanks in advance,

Sean McGlinn.

seems legit. wikipedia said saleen made 200 of these. from the ad on craigslist, sounds like your saving a buck or two because of all the upgrades. Looks pretty cool and sure is faster than most scions with 225 hp. Id go for it, unless youve got a passion for building the car yourself or have another car in mind. I dont have any idea about the v8 swap because wikipedia didnt say which v8 theyd swap in, but i think id buy this one
