If I was in your situation I would not trade my vette and WS6 for the S351R. How much do you think your two cars are worth? Would pay that much for S351R?

You certainly have a nice lookin Vette...but the Saleen is a lot better. If you do get it, I dont think you should make it a daily driver though...too many risks involved ![[Frown]](frown.gif) If he's reallys elling it for $30k, why not sell your vette and ws6...then you can buy it and still have money for a beater car ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

I would seriously think about getting something else if you plan on making the S351R a daily driver. There are no S351R owners I know of (including myself) that would drive their S351 on a daily basis. Between the S351 production years from '94-'99, less than 200 R-code S351s were produced. So factor in the rarity of these cars. Honestly, these cars guzzle gas like a pig and since the R-code cars are supercharged, you will be stuck filling the tank with premium fuel. Some of the S351-specific parts are difficult to come by as Saleen no longer services these cars. More specifically, the motor mounts used to mount the engines are modified units that lower the taller 351 motor and set it back farther to fit under the stock hood. Most, if not all, of the early S351s came from Saleen with a poor tune, if you do get the car contact Mark LaMaskin @ Performance Autosport (performanceautosport.com) or Joe Gosinski @ Chicane (chicanesport.com). They have developed a tune that will improve mileage, performance and driveability.
I am not saying that the S351 can't be a daily driver. But think about what kind of wear and tear a daily driver goes through and the price that insurance is going to be to cover such a rare car, especially if it's going to be driven daily. Good Luck.

I also think that if you have to use it as a daily, then don't buy it.
