Default Suprised a Saleen......In my FRC

Coming home last week was crusing in the fast lane in 6th gear ( getting 30+ per gallon ) a silver Saleen pulled next to me with his window down just started listening and staring at my ride........I hear him down shift.....I down shifted to 3rd gear rpms at 4 grand so he hits it a split second later I do the same and in a bleak of an eye I pull him like he was standing still.....I slow down an he pulls next to me and gives me the thumbs up and just started shaking his head in approval......not much but that is all I got.

even if it was a s281 you would have raped it. even your normal supercharged saleen isnt making even close to 430 rwhp. also not to mention your car should weight probably 200-300 lbs less on average pretty easily

Nice kill! Sounds like he has a lot of respect for your car.

What year Saleen was it though? 99-04? 05+?

HAHA...probably S281 or S281SC of either model...even the 430HP S281SC wouldn't be enough, IMO.
