The Saleen XP8 would be the better ticket.

I don't see why you guys are laughing at Racecraft Suspension? Saleen used them a lot back in the day for quite a bit of their vehicles. Too bad it's not an S/C'd XP8. Still a good find, and pretty cheap too.

I am not laughing at RaceCraft at all ... just adding my thoughts and input to this thread.

I am also curious as to how many where produced...

It would be another interesting vehicle to know more about ... in the same relm as the Saleen Windstar mini-van ...

I've seen some of these before, never could really understand why they would do an Explorer though.

Why would you bother Saleen-ing a 4.0!?!? Is it the stock 4.0 unmodded?

Anybody ever photoshopped or actually put the wheels that are on that truck on a Marauder?

I'd buy it and slap on an X Charger from ExplorerXpress.com. I've longed to find an XP8. In all my years of searching, I think I've found 3.
