The guy on the right in the picture above is a legend in the auto business. His name is Steve Saleen. He's a former Formula race car driver and the founder of Saleen, Inc., which manufactures specialty vehicles including the Saleen S7 and tricked-out modified Mustangs.
Mr. Saleen stopped by our booth at SEMA to say hello because we had just finalized an agreement to supply Guidepoint as the stolen vehicle recovery solution for two new ultra-high performance vehicles built by his new company, SMS Supercars.
SMS will initially offer Guidepoint as a security option on its new SMS Challenger vehicles: the fully certified and street legal SMS 570™ Challenger and SMS 570X™ Challenger, which are based on the 2009 Challenger R/T platform and feature an SMS Supercharged 5.7L Hemi with power ratings from 500 to 700 horsepower. Both models are fully equipped with a complement of SMS ultra-high performance components, including drive train, suspension, aerodynamics, tires, wheels and interiors.
Rand wasn't in Vegas, but had this to say: “The ultra-high performance vehicles built by SMS deserve an ultra-high performance security solution. Guidepoint integrates the most advanced GPS and wireless technology to protect vehicles from being moved by anyone other than their rightful owners and, if necessary, to recover the vehicle quickly before any damage can be done. We’re pleased to work with Steve Saleen and the entire SMS team to offer their customers the peace of mind that comes with Guidepoint.”
