ok so I saw this cool looking fofo at a dealer in Kingston, Ontario, Can. Ace Auto . Apperantly this was a demo car for Sony and they made 10 of these. As you can see on the bumper it says ''10c sony'' so it was the 10th. The sales person didnt know much about the focus but he sure knew about the electronics. According to him it has $15k of sound....I donno about sony stuff but I can tell that it has some nice fab work in the trunk. Up front it has a DVD and a deck...the guy was stingy to open it up cause he knew i wasnt gonna buy it. Oh they thru out the Nitrous kit so no fun in that department. The price tag for this 2005 SALEEN is $24 900 CAD and I thought that it was a lil steep. Anyways enjoy....sorry for the lil pics.....camera phone.

11-21-2007, 11:23 AM

Haha that's ridiculous...

How would you like to drive around with a big ol "XPLOD" on the side of your car!? But it would be fun to take to shows, although you can't say you did any of the work. GTGs would be cool with it.

The new Motorola Q 9m from verizon lol I guess it's alright.

The car actually looks really good up close....Ive never seen a Saleen up but That thing is hot. Def would rip that Xplode sticker right off if it was mine tho.

i know what the first mod on that car would be... ripping off that terribly big and nasty looking "ACE" sticker on the back

is that just a canada release? i havn't seen those in the states

11-21-2007, 12:38 PM
I'm guessing it could be cause ive never seen on in the states either especially in Cali where you see lots of different cars.

thats an awful steep price for a rolling stero system,,,15,000 worth of sony equip,,,lol whatever, i think all sales men have the same bs (bullshit) degree,and they just tossed out the nos system.

11-21-2007, 03:52 PM
That system setup in the back looks awsome, but with all the xplod decals, that system is begging to be stolen. It needs a good alarm system if it doesnt have one already. Nice looking car overall.

fast_ryda
11-21-2007, 04:46 PM
hahaha thats what i told the sales rep...I was like you better put an alarm on that car or tint the windows also cause all that will get jacked...he gave me this sarcastic laugh and said sure

Here's another one I found. There's a dealer that's stuck with one for over a year. If I remember correctly, it was given away in a Coke sweepstakes. That's why they're only available in Canada.

Thats cool...i didnt know that about the contest. I'm from the states so ive never seen it...I'm just residing in ontario for school and i saw it.
thats weird.....they have different speaker set ups in the back

Blazing Copper does look pretty good on the good ol Saleen. Is that just graphics on the car? Or is it painted that way? If it it graphics, you could take them off. But paint..... you are hosed.

No sir, i dont like it. horrible saleen kit, with shitty wal-mart speakers.

actaully that equpment is the higher up xplode stuff that can't be purchased at wal-mart. it's silver, not red. thats the first big give away. me i'd love a system like that. is so over done it's actually awesome. only thing missing is a 360 and i'd rock that shit in a heartbeat. oh wait i have a 360, now all i need is the car, lol. it seems like they were a dmo car for xplode top of the line stuff. so it should sound good anyway. and btw. theres only 1 sub. the rest are mids and tweets.

The wing is huge, the graphics are pointless. Who buys a show car? You make a show car.

still doesn't look like $15k worth of stuff...and Xplod is still pretty low end stuff, not sure i would rock it...ok not sure if i would PAY for it...would definately rock it if it was given to me haha...

killer ZETEC
11-22-2007, 10:14 PM
they are probably tacking on the install labor for all that audio gear. it looks to be around 1800 to 2200 bucks worth of gear in that car. low end or not that stuff aint cheap. and i think there maystill be room for a nitruos tank next to the sub at least a 5 pound bottle anyway.

the styling of Saleens is way too loud for my taste.(i couldn't help myself with the "loud" pun...LOL)
it's a cool sound system, but not something i would be into.. especially for 25large

[hihi] yeah and i'm the pope. No Focus is as cool as a Trans Am, they're asking $25K for a used car with some nice electronics, lol.

11-23-2007, 01:20 PM
id say that depends on the trans am in question lol. there were some pretty weak ones in the 80's that id take a svt over. but overall yeah, id agree, lol i just watched smokey and the bandit on cable last night for like the 20th time.
