He does not understand that he owns a Saleen.

When HPA dumped the Saleen assets in 2009, it left the door open to future Saleen vehicles by Steve Saleen. Once the "brand" drama was sorted out.

When HPA owned Saleen, SMS was suppose to be a premium brand above Saleen, circa 2008. This never happened.

So, SMS became a "temporary" brand until the Saleen brand could return to Steve Saleen.

It's a hater car since SMS as a company does not exist nor does SMS logo apparel and accessories. The owner wants to celebrate SMS. This would be like a Racecraft owner wanting to celebrate Racecraft Cars. Without understanding they own a Saleen product nor ever wanting to.

I believe he likes the rarity of the car the way it is, with the SMS insignia. He just bummed that he can't get the matching accessories, easily. Owning one of these cars, I can understand how he feels. Saleen was fairly adamant about cnaging most things to Saleen on my car, when it was in house. This didn't bother me as I have had a few Saleens and know the story. However, I do believe these SMS/Saleen vehicles will hold a rare piece of history. Whether that makes them worth more, time will tell. In either case, I bought my car to drive... :)
