Saleen Mustang 101 (just the basics):

S281: Appearance and handling (racecraft) package. Steve Saleen is a left and right guy.
S281SC: Supercharger added to stock internal engine, 5 lbs of boost, racecraft suspension. Pretty fast depending on year.

S281E: Motor has forged internals, serious boost, BIG brakes, Panhard bar and some other goodies. Z06-like performance.


Half of the "saleen mustangs" on the road have only Saleen parts added.

Good kill.

I'm curious because the other day when I was riding in my friend's purple Jeep (the POS with purple flames) we saw a 06-07 Roush Mustang, and I was wondering if they are available in appearance packages because I couldn't hear anything out of his exhausts. It looked good though.
