industrial portion of Irvine, CA, that provides areas of winding roads and few stop lights, although, downshifting the five speed manual transmission while approaching intersections allowed the Stones to grind out solos that created enough endorphins and testosterone to float the QE2.
One half hour later I joined Steve Saleen as he gave the VINTAGE VEHICLE SHOW cameras a tour of the facility. There are eight stations within the factory that transform an already amazing Mustang into a Saleen/Parnelli Jones Mustang. The original suspension and motor are replaced with race engineered equipment that Steve Saleen and Parnelli Jones feel are just the thing to liven up a weekend. The 302 cubic inch 400 horsepower V8 will remind you of why many old muscle cars now sell for over $1,000,000. This power source, along with the Saleen designed interior seating and exterior front & rear panels, will be appreciated both on your neighborhood streets and at race courses across the nation.
