"Fans of the movie can see the Extreme police car on display a
The Saleen Store in Irvine, California," said Mike Simmons chief marketing and sales officer of Saleen Inc. "What's eve more exciting is they can actually purchase the production model fro their local Saleen certified dealership, without the police badgin and vicious alter-ego, of course. The 2008 Extreme is a limite production vehicle of only 200 units and a waiting list is alread starting. However, we have two more attainable S281 models that hav the same body style as the "Barricade" car. They might no destroy 'Autobots' as easily, but they are plenty fast and fun t drive.
