They are great pics. If you can & have the time, it would be great to show 'em off. I have my crying towel, handy.

So, Saleen owns asc, now? I didn't know that. WHAT are they doing with it?

ASC could not sell MCLAREN ! Not theirs to sell....

Even weirder but Steve Saleen is now gone from Saleen. He no longer owns his own name as it applies to cars he builds.

I would imagine...Saleen was probably buying asc to gain access to any contracts that they may have had.

Saleen may be getting into the sunroof biz.

Plus they may have decided that the asc Viper was too close to their turf...

So who owns Saleen now? Are they still building the S7 in MI? I thought it was at the Wixsom plant, where the GT was built. Now that Wixsom is closed, where? Is there still an ASC office in MI? The office is Oak Park is gone, correct?

i dont know anything about saleen and Wixom. but i do know that asc has been out of Oak Park for a few years now and they had or have a headquarter in Southgate. i found out last year at woodward from Mr. Howard Storch that saleen owned asc and that they were bringing back old time employees like him.
