I was mostly referring to these two posts. The double standard **** talkin' get olds real quick. They're talkin' crap when no one has made a dang comment yet.

Speaking of which...why couldn't you just send me a PM and 'leave it alone'.

Ran a Saleen "Red Flag" Sunday morning on a empty freeway. Took a bit to get him to run, and for some reason he would only run from 80mph and refused my handsignals to slow down (so I could holeshot him with 2nd gear). having to run from 80 mph with a A4 and only when he launched first is not exactly good, but in 3 runs he never pulled: after I got into the 5's (rpms) each time I reeled him in and got even with his door he would let up. I tried honking it off but he didnt understand: and the one time I tried taking off first he didnt go either: total rookie at street racing, would be side by siding with my interior light on trying to signal him to roll down the window or slow down but he kept his window up and would just randomly punch it and try to leave me. Rookies... At least he was a frustrated rookie in a $50k car!

The Red Flag cars are easily identifiable btw: Red slashes or "Flags" on front fender with no "Saleen" door sill emblems: its on the rear valance. Same supercharged engine as the Extreme ($80k version that weighs 30 pounds less but gets 3.73 gears versus 3.31 gears lol).

465hp 425tq in a 3500 pound car. Overrated hp numbers IMO: would put it closer to 420hp. Of course, though normally I dont give this caveat out lightly: the driver was a tool and probably was short shifting (though I never gained on him on a shift lag- pure motor on motor pull).

Anyways, nice kill on what was probably a Extreme Saleen! Just imagine what you could do with a stock 2010 GT and $50k to mod it. WoW

I may be having a brain fart, last I knew there was only one SE saleen and they are commemorative edition for the military. Limited to ~50 IIRC. Those were not S281E powerplants. They were S281SC's. I know someone in the Navy that has one.

And 'probably a Extreme Saleen'? You're kidding right? seriously. In case you didn't know, there's the S281, S281SC, and S281E. The S281E is a 550Hp version with a forged motor.

It's called a joke brother. Guess i gotta watch those around here, if theres one thing LS1 tech doesn't have, it's a single ounce of anything resembling a sense of humor.

You obviously haven't read many of the threads I've been in. Its very laid back here in SRK section. Just gotta be able to roll with the punches between the Mustang and F-body guys.

Nope...you're just relative new. Ask any of the SRK regulars and they'll tell you that I'm about as realistic as they come. Here's an example in a recent thread.

And Mani is correct....

Steve if you ever are going to the track or something let me know and we can meet up. I won't have my car there for a while, putting a new cam in and intake on.

I'm no Ford **** or anything. I like F-bodies just as much as Mustangs so you have nothing to worry about lol

A friend of mine has a '08 saleen with the 465hp. The best he can trap is 114.6 with a 12.65et. 420hp sounds about right.
