2008 Saleen S302 w/600HP!!!
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/25/2...s-late-summer/
Saleen is still celebrating its high-profile involvement with the summer blockbuster Transformers movie, the highlight of which for us was seeing the Decepticon Barricade, a Saleen S281 Extreme, throw down with Bumblebee, a Chevy Camaro Concept. As cool as the S281 Extreme is, its all spark will be snuffed out soon to make way for a new model from Saleen bearing the code name S302 Extreme. The S302 Extreme is so named for its 302 cubic-inch motor with which we originally made our acquaintance in the Saleen Parnelli Jones Limited Edition Mustang. In the S302 Extreme, however, the PJ mill gains a supercharger, which Saleen claims will increase horsepower to well over 600. It doesn't appear Saleen's most powerful Mustang will transform in any other ways for the 2008 model year, so while it may look exactly like the S281 Extreme it's replacing, in this case, there really is more to the 2008 S302 Extreme than meets the eye.

Great another car that only few will be able to afford. S281 extremes are already overpriced. Don't get me wrong I think what Saleen is doing is cool and a step in the right direction, just gonna cost an arm and a leg.

Yeah, they all do, I'd be willing to pay 5-15k over list price, depending on whats been done to the car, but certaintly not 30-40k.

Just buy the engine and put it in your car if you want the power. Even if you forge your own internals and then turn up the boost on your supercharger you can get 600hp. I don't see the big deal? I am waiting around to get my hands on the six speed tranny out of an extreme Saleen Extreme.
