2014 Saleen 620 White Label #11 [COTW 9/21/15] **11-1-2015 - NOW LSA POWERED!**

First time Camaro owner who took advantage of the GM 20% off oldest Camaro on the lot deal. Just happened to be a '14 Saleen 620 WL 6MT (#14-011). Found this beauty out in the middle of Scottsboro. No blower, but honestly its a lotta car to handle after being in 4D sedans for the last 6 years. Tons of fun and gets a lot of looks. Officer in the ARMY and work for the DoD and just happy to be here and back in a performance vehicle. Limited space in the garage, but I hope you enjoy!! Put a layer of sealant on it to keep it protected for the rest of winter. I'll post more soon.

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I did not know they existed either until I went hunting for good deals and this one happened to be about 70 miles away in scottsboro.

Basically the saleen white label is their "entry package" that comes with a tune, intake, exhaust, some springs and suspension parts, wheels/tires, grill deletes, emblem deletes, and a lot of stickers/seat embroidary, etc. Its essentially a 1ss with some bolt ons, all done by Saleen, but apparently since Saleen is having financial issues, this is the only Gray Saleen 620 in the country (according to the dealer). Sean Saleen was going to call me later today so I could ask him more about it (what do "race springs, linkages, etc" mean, what kind of tune is on the car, etc). They apparently tune and dyno every car before it gets to the dealer, so I'd like to see how much power it is putting down (im guessing an extra 15-20 over the stock intake, exhaust and 87 tune, it shows 450hp on their sale sticker, but im not sure).

All in all, a very lucky find and since it was the oldest camaro on the lot, I was able to get the 20% off of it . Bought this car new cheaper than a used 13 SS on the same lot

Once it isn't 20 degrees outside I'll give it a proper bath and post some photos up Glad to be here and glad to be back in an LS powered v8 car!!

Pretty sweet to have all those extras on a brand new car for a great price.

love it. Its such a small car that it looks like 15-20% to me. So close to legal that I figure I wouldn't catch any crap for the police.
