Repost your comments, or post new ones. BUT KEEP IT CLEAN, and relatively Civil.
There is a difference between complaining about something, and actually doing something. I want to
do something. Therefore this thread will be linked in this letter to Saleen, and possibly other letters once they are written. If you don't wish to have your comments visible to the Saleen company, then don't reply to this thread.
So I can't stress enough how clean you need to keep this. But besides that,
Let full loose!
The letter I plan to send to Saleen:
Quote:
To whom it may concern,
I want to express my intense anger and frustration I am feeling towards the entire Saleen name right now, due to this video. Found recently, by multiple Camaro enthusiast forums, on YouTube. The video is hyperlinked through the words "this video".
I challenge Mr. Saleen to back up any claims he made in that clip. Specifically about the V6 Bumblebee, and the 'Small Company" General Motors, and the fact that General Motors "cannot build their own pony car". I also wish to challenge Mr. Saleen to show enough spine to apologize through a post on these three Camaro sites, in the appropriately linked threads, at least:

I daresay that he will find plenty on very angry Camaro enthusiasts taking part in these conversations; which is why I said 'spine' above. The linked forums were duplicates, where the posters were asked to be polite, and quell any outbursts. But he ticked quite a number of people off, and if there ever was a plan to build a Saleen Camaro (which I now hope never happens), I would venture to guess that it wouldn't catch on as much as he'd like.
I understand that he is a Mustang enthusiast himself, so perhaps he was playing to the Mustang-enthusiast crowd. And it would be understandable if that was the case. But no one can say such things with so much conviction, without meaning them. I doubt what Mr. Saleen said is very far from his own beliefs. And no person I've ever known can string together that many 'friendly jests' of 'jokes' without aiming for them to be malicious. I think it is unfortunate that a man as well known as Mr. Saleen would say such audacious things about the worlds largest auto company.
If Mr. Saleen would like to Email me back, personally, I would be more than happy to delegate his response, in full, to the above-mentioned threads.
Finally, I want to apologize myself for any harsh words encountered in this Email, but I am one of those 'very angry Camaro enthusiasts'.
