Default 00 Hawk vs. 99 281 saleen

Cruisin home with my girl when a 281 saleen flies by me. I change lanes and get up behind him, we are still in the left lane cause of traffic. Once it was clear he wouldn't let me get beside him, he just takes off, so I hammer it, I caught up to him pretty quick then I changed lanes and passed him with ease had about 2-3 car lengths before I let off. I guess I can call this a kill. Well my mods are in sig and I don't know his.

The saleen S281's are GT mustangs with a body kit, the S281 SC are 380hp (I think), and the S281E is rated at 450hp. S281's are nothing to worry about, they just look good.

Correct..well, 370 in '03, 360 prior years...but you made the most important point....regular S281s are really anything. They look nice and handle the turns well, but are no straight line monsters....275 (I believe) crank due to Exhaust and other Misc. goodies...but they still have the 3.27s and weigh a butt load more.

good kill. my buddy at work has an s281, its an absolutely beautiful car, but its not very fast, i mean for what it is. as far as i know the s381 is the one to worry about.
