wrong place, but what info are you looking for? they make an n/a version and a supercharged one. the SCed one is around 500 hp, but pulls nothing like a C6 Z06. the n/a one is still dog slow (for a "fast" car)

go to saleen.com for some info maybe???

I was under the impression that the S in S281 stood for "Supercharged" and the 281 was the cubic inches of the 4.6L motor.

The one with the flames is my buddy's 02 saleen. he paid 30 grand and it wont even beat my auto trans am. its supercharged and it has a racing chip and some suspension upgrades and flowmaster x pipe. Ive raced him from a dig to about 80 and a few 30mph rolls and havent lost yet. now that i have nitrous its not even close but the reason why there not that fast is because all they are is a stock gt with a supercharger. his 99 svt was faster i think because it was the 32v. as opposed to the 16v in his saleen. Dont get me wrong the cars sick.

The n/a 1s rune hihg 13s stock. And the supercharged s281 has 375hp stock and can run in the 12s. ^^so the supercharged 1 is not slow by no means..

that car wont run high 12's stock. all its running is 5 psi stock and its only a 16v gt motor. if that were the case the 03 cobras would run mid-low 12's stock because they have the 32 valve supercharged. right?

The '03 Cobras do run low-mid 12s in perfect conditions... mid-high is good for a "good" driver. The S281 is $42k base price, and I believe it's rated at 325hp. I personally think they are wastes of money, because you could just buy a $25k GT and build it WAY better for the extra $17k. But that's just my opinion.

My friend has an 02s281 saleen and they are rated at 375 hp stock. They have the solid rear axle i think instead of irs but im not sure which makes them easier to launch. So high 12s stock is not out of the question.

S281 - Saleen281
S281SC - Saleen281 SC'd
S281E - Saleen281 Extreme.

S does not mean supercharged.
