Well I understand what you are saying. Now any decent bodyshop can mix up some paint and blend it to match. I managed a body shop about 6 years ago and dealt with a few custom paint jobs. It really depends on how the paint was mixed and applied. There are certian paint jobs you couldn't even match if you had the exact paint to do it. There's way to many variables for me to tell you 100% if it could be done on this car, But I suspect it can.

Hopefully it's still down there. I'm going to get my car from Springfield tomorrow. It would be nice to take a close look at it. George, what time where you down there? Did you see my car running like Ass on the dyno? :mj:

Would your car happen to have the license plate that says "FSAZSHT" ? If so that is dam funny and it was on the lift last night while I was there. I will also be coming to Dega's sometime tomarrow evening.

No...It's the black '97 with MD plates getting the Procharger installed. I met you down at Springfield during the dyno day like 3 weeks ago. I watched you pump out 500 @ the wheels. I downloaded that vid BTW...nice :beer:

Yeah, It sounds like "It's all in there, I don't really know"

George, thanks for posting Ed's car. Ido not know who stated 500hp on the video. The car makes 400rwhp sae corrected with a basic tune. Car has a stock trans. and exhaust. I went with Ed to pick up the Saleen in Miami. Yes he does have paper work from Saleen, but it is not a registered Saleen. He also has a white 2000 supercharged vert Saleen. If anyone wants any more info on car call me at my shop-Springfield Motorsport, 703-339-3780.
