Default Tried to race a 05 saleen

So Im going home and I see this black with white strip 05 mustang up ahead and Im thinking hell reah Ive been wanting to run one of these for a while. So I get a little closer and I noticed the rear bumper is different,I got beside him and it said saleen,HOLLY **** this is gonna be good .Well theres a truck in front of me so I go to get behind him and all of the sudden this stupid bitch in a v6 firebird starts messing with this guy hardcore . Then we run into traffic and it is never this busy around here . I think he wanted to run but that stupid bitch was acting wreckless so he turned off and headed back the other way .I could ring her neck

I believe the new saleen's are just an appearance package. I tried to get a guy around me to run but he wanted no part.

Nope they have S281 s/c and the S281 E (S/C) They have 450+ HP...

The 05 Saleens are beautiful... IMO!

I don't think the S281E is out yet...July I hear. It's just a blown 3V though. Big deal. It's no '03 Cobra.

The Saleens at the dealership by me are rated at 325 HP and ran .1 faster than the regular GT in the 1/4 mile according to Motor Trend. They also sell for $47,000 here in WA. 2 blocks down the road at Chevy, they have a 2005 C6 for the same price! The S/C version is coming soon and according to the sales manager, is rated at 400 HP and should sell for around $60,000. Yikes......the C6 Z06 is selling for what.....66K?

Yeah, the Saleen E's are just starting to hit the streets. The Saleen N/A's are rated at 325 flywheel HP. They are overpriced as always for what ya get. Me? I'd go to the Chevy dealer and get the C6 Z06 before I'd buy the Saleen. Remember, Ford refused to sell the Cobra motor to Saleen. The only time ya see a REAL Saleen Cobra is when an owner takes their Cobra to Saleen.

Damn GM anyway, I would bet anything the 2006 Camaro and Firebird would have blown all Mustangs away easy for a lot less money. Maybe even LS7. Damn.

OK . I'm a chevy fan but I dought that GM has the ball's anymore to build a S/C Camaro or Firebird. They are'nt building anything anyone want's except for the new LS7 ZO6. LS7 ZO6 .

Actually when you supercharge one of those new 3v Mustang motors they do a whole list of things, and suck is not on that list.

05 Procharged Mustang

Basically 9lbs of boost on a stock car will get you 441rwhp and 409ftlbs of tire shredding torque.

The 05 saleen mustang they tested in motortrend was .1 sec faster in the quarter and would not pass emissions in any state. Good deal for 45k+ wouldnt you say. I know a guy that has one and it came with 20 inch rims "Dubs" haha.
