This was from a stoplight. New black Mustang 281E Saleen with chrome rims, sing outlet exhaust in the middle of the bumper. Beautiful Mustang. At the light I rev up to about 3000 rpm and hold it and I hear him do the same. On green I hooked and jump out imediately by about 1 1/2 cars. By the time I shift into 2nd he's 3 cars back and continues to fall. I kept on going until 100 but he look like he gave up at 75 (and he was a good 4 lengths or so back) as the outcome of the race became glaringly obvious.

I get to talk to him at the light, turns out its the stage one version, with exhaust, intake, and some other crap that I didn't catch (both cars are pretty loud at the light). He says he couldn't get any traction at all so I assume he just got the car and doesn't know how to drive it yet, but I did here him say it put down like 3XX at the wheels. I am assuming 320 or 330 by the way I walked him... or maybe he just can't drive a stick. Fun race, nice looking mustang and cool guy.


EDIT: Kinda left this out. It was the non-supercharged version.

Good kill, but it wasn't an "E." The S281E is the holy-**** forged motor badass... a Saleen Stage 1 isn't even supercharged...

Well I saw "281E" on the badge but he did confirm it did not have the supercharger.

If it had an "S281E" badge on it, he just ricer-badged a brand new car

Couldn't be. He was such a cool dude. Everyone knows ricer guy are complete ********. Damn... ricer in domestic clothing.

I see it all the time... a while ago I saw a middle-aged guy driving around in an automatic LT1 Vette that had "ZR1" emblems on the back

I can count 2 V6 4th gen camaros around here with SS hoods and SS badges on the side.

Irunelevens

That ain't nothin... I once saw a completely stock 4th gen V6 "Si-R" "Type S"

STg 1 is a GT with a couple of goodies. He probably added few things, since stock they are ~300rwhp.

Definitely a badged car, de-facing a true S281E...Forged internals with 550 HP.

Good kill. Gotta love the Saleen's though.

i remember when those cars first came out the mags tested them and the stage 1's where actualy slower than a stock gt. probly because of the huge wheels and all the extra pounds from the body kit and add on's. i think they sais it was like 2 tenths slower that a regular gt

Yeah without the blower it's a complete waste of money in my eyes. Unless you only race cars your sure to win against. Imagine him racing some freakin ricer. Even if he wins we all know on hondaforums.com there will be a post reading

"Hung wit a Mustang Saleen... ya know teh one wit teh supacharga yo'ss!!! If my clutch wasent slippin yo I wadda put that POS Saleen downs yo!!"

Now that would have been a good race but I would probably have come out on the short end of the stick.
