So shit hit the fan at the SALEEN plant...
Rick Rinke*(President at Saleen) was fired along with the V.P. at Saleen and Head accountant at Saleen... Ontop of that the FBI has been snooping around the place for the pass few days... And Steve Saleen himself has been snooping around also... And the Ford GT project has been put on hold again since short on parts...
I wonder what the top 3 people did at Saleen to get fired?

I've heard that Saleen has terrible customer relations/service on some other boards a while back. Anybody hear anything on this? I like the look of the cars (mostly), but don't think thier worth 40k (and up).

If an accountant gets let go, and he has no other duties than the accounting department, either he, or someone he oversees was embezzeling. With the rumored demize of SVT, this would have been a golden opportunity for Saleen to get back business it lossed to Ford via the Cobra.

I know their body parts are for shit....the saleen side scoops I have took more prep work than the R hood I got from Cervini's.
Even on actual Saleen Mustangs....the paint starts to crack off after a couple of years.
Never mind how OVER priced they are. (Sorry SaleenOutlaw  ) They sure do look purdyyyyyy though.

They might be worth something down the road, but with how much they cost to begin with I don't really see how. For 40 or 50k you could have a badass car built that would kill a Saleen! 99SVTAddict you're not the first one I've heard that from. I guess you are just paying for the Saleen name.

Funny thing you bring this topic up, my friend told me this exact story. He didn't say why b/c I dont think he knew but told me that they were fired and something about the FBI was snooping around the place!

Just seeing if Steve Saleen himself is in deep shit. Just curious if they closed the case on it yet.
