From Autoweek.com:

S281 Mustang
Highlights:In top Saleen form the 2005 Mustang Coupe will see 445-plus hp.
Base price:$37,000 (est.)

What’s next:The Convertible and the Speedster versions will get the S281 treatment down the road.

Our opinion:When it comes to custom Mustangs, Saleen will always be a high choice.
Here's the link:

Thanks for the link, I wish it had more information. But I do like one thing--445hp. That is music to my ears, and at $37,000-- cool.

The $37,000 isn't the supercharged version. Those run MUCH higher.

For $37k your probably getting suspension, ground effects, and a cold air kit, right?

Well THAT's misleading, but once I re-read it... I agree with Brad.

If you pay 40k for a mustang, you need your head examined.

I thought that was too good to be true. :bang: But it didn't hurt to be hopeful.

Again, not everyone buys a car to red-neck it up at the drag strip on Sundays nights, charles. There is more to "performance" than 1/4 mile times.

Lurk more , and be less retarded Id rather have an SVT Contour than your Mach 1, except to sell yours <3


Also , whoa I just reread the whole post , and you exploded , his comment wasnt even that negative or directed at you. A Mustang isnt a high quality big bucks car , its a budget go fast car. You might have overpaid.


*EDIT* My post was too kind , so Id like to say $%&# you

Eh, let it go man. Someday he'll own a car that doesn't roll over going into a high speed corner.

Wow, much love today. Anyway,

I'm waiting to see real pictures of the car. I think it's going to look good and I don't usually like Saleens.
