Default Mustang Saleen bye bye

I went to the track the other night but they wouldnt lets up rum cause they thought it was going to rain. There was a dude with a new Saleen and an older notch that wanted to go hit a side street and run. They wanted me to run the Saleen, I took him all three times by about a car. It was just nice because I didnt know any of them and the thought it was a sure win for them. And then the notch beat my *** bad. haha

Those looks and sound like jet fighters, S281 is the supercharged one, they run well but not what you would expect for the price tag by a long shot.

Guy at a local parts store owns an SC S281. After intake/exhaust pulley mods he only dynoed @ 365rwhp. Stock ones arent that good for numbers, sound pretty badass though. I guess they have less displacement to work with.

Yeah the s281sc's arent much because of the sohc motor and they slap on an eaton. But you get into an s351sc. Then you got a beast for the $$$. My favorite is the mid to late 90's s351. The last one made was in 99 right?

He is talking about this site,

By the way, the SC281 Saleens are the supercharged ones, NOT the S281s. If it's a S281 with a supercharger, it didn't come from Saleen that way.

There are also SC281E Saleens also.

1995 I believe is the only year you could get a s351.

You could also take a Cobra to Saleen, but that also costs more.

No actually he is right the 1999 was the last year they were made, after that year they could not get them to make the emissions or EPA MPG requirements (one of the two or a combination of both) so they just stopped making them.
