My name is Saleen, sometimes I am also called Diva – it makes me wonder why…
I was born in 1989 as a Ford Mustang Foxbody Saleen. Yeah, you heard right, I am a real Saleen. Alex didn’t know when she bought me back in 2015 that Saleen cars are something special that shouldn’t be turned into drift cars or any other cut your car into pieces and loving walltaps projects for that matter. When she finally figured it out, the damage was already done. I am still pissed about that, but hey, after sitting 20 years in a garage, I finally get new parts! Everything started as a step-by-step project.

Between drifting events I got new parts, like a roll cage, a steering angle kit, neat Maximum Motorsports suspension, an ASD handbrake, and so much more! But it still wasn’t enough. I am a needy greedy baby, so nothing is ever enough for me. Sending out big smoke signals while being sideways made Alex quite happy, well, at first. As I continued making white blueish smoke signals through the exhaust driving straight, she was not so happy at all. But making Alex not happy always gets me new parts! This is when I got my 2016 Coyote V8 heart, with a T56 tranny, BBK swap headers and midpipe, and so many other new parts! But hey, you forgot them brakes! They are still working, but hey! I want new ones! I gotta do something about that…
We have been to many drift events in the Midwest, drifting at BIR in Minnesota, having fun at the NASCAR track in Colorado, loving the rollercoaster terrain at USAIR Raceway Shawano Wisconsin, and always ripping and cuddling at the South Dakota drift events in Sturgis, what kind of became our home base. After many fun events, Alex brought me to Germany in 2019, where I met with my little brother Fox. For the first time the both of us are sideways together on the Circuit du Bourbonnais in France in November 2019. Bleeding them brakes for the fifth time. Alex gave me remanufactured ones. I want new ones!
