This month we feature George Gast's 1987 Saleen #197. Below are a few words from George. Enjoy!

-The Saleen Club of America

This is a 1987 Saleen #0197. 1 of 278 built that year.

I've added a few extra details to make this one even more special with lots of chrome and polished engine parts. Of course the Nitrous is definitely NOT factory equipped but it was a deal I couldn't pass up. The added Nitrous is used mainly as an aftercooler for the blower. With 508 horsepower to the ground without even using the Nitrous it almost seems silly to have it. The car drives and acts as docile as any stock car until you step into the pedal with any kind of enthusiasm. The SPEC clutch is a bit heavy to push but grabs like no other clutch I've ever felt. If you want to know more about this car, please feel free to e-mail me with your question.
