Roush gets last laugh over Saleen re the Ford GT

[Historybuff]

It looks like Roush has announced a special version of the Ford GT over in the UK called 600RE (the first part for hp; second alluding to RoushEuorpe)
Roush Europe set up the Euro models. These last few will go for $300,000 each.

It's irnoic that Steve Saleen had so much to do with building the Ford GTs but instead it is Roush, who engineered and tested the GT engine, who appears at the end of the model run with his badge engineered version of it.

I spoze Saleen would of done it except for the fact he has nwo been formaly booted out of the company that bears his name and with a lot of worries didn't have time to ponder what could be done with the last few GTs.

I wonder if Roush will bid on taking over Saleen's operations, since it looked like the Parnelli Jones signature Mustang recently announced by Saleen will be a winner and Roush could easily put together a facility to build them out since he already makes Roush Mustangs.

If anyone from Deetroit knows any good stories about the behind the scenes battle between Roush and Saleen over the Ford GT--love to hear them!
