look at the price on this...c&d says its around 51k

 

Ooooooh!! Supercharged!....

 

Hmmm.... GT-500 + 10k?
Doens't sound like a good deal to me.

 

More like GT500 + 20k, look at the buy it now price.

 

$62k?

Wow.
I think Saleen might be in trouble with this one.

 

yea, I meant the buy it now price...what a rip, it ain't worth it for some body mods and 100 extra hp...you could do it urself 4 cheaper

 

Erroneous-disregard.. :scratch:

 

hmmm i can tell you guys never drove a s/c saleen

 

For $20k less I can get a Corvette.

 

dont hate me 4 sayin this, but I really liked that corvette, I sat in it at the ajc auto show, and I could picture myself driving down an empty highway goin really fast

 

I don't think anyone would hate you for it, I love the Corvette, just not practical for me right now (hard to fit a car seat in the back seat ). It, like the Mustang, has the heritage going for it. Sad to say, but one of the few bright spots GM has going for it.

 

Maybe a dumb question :scratch: Where is the supercharger?I dont see it in the engine photos.Stock airbox with factory tube right to the throttle body..........

$2k worth of mods on a stock GT can put up better numbers then this car did in C&D.

 

What numbers did it put on in C&D?

 

base price - $51, 934
displacement - 281 cu. in
power - 400 bhp
torque - 420 lb-ft
Zero to 60 mph - 4.6 sec.
MPG - 15 city/ 17 highway
Braking (70 - 0 mph) - 179 ft.
Roadholding - 0.90 g
quarter mile - 13.2 sec. @ 110 mph

 

You can take that or...
a 2005 Corvette Z51
base price - $46,205
displacement - 364 cid
power - 400 bhp
torque - 400 ft-lb
0 - 60 mph - 4.3 sec
MPG - 19 city/28 hwy
Braking (70-0 mph) - 166 ft
Roadhandling - 0.98 g
quarter mile - 12.7 @ 113 mph

and Saleen expects to sell these?

It's in the intake take a look at the Saleen site

http://www.saleen.com/supercharger.htm

Pretty discreet aye

Also everyone look at the MSRP it's like 54 Gs

 

How did they lose 8mph highway? That's insane...

And the 'Vette Z51 will be my "Batmobile" project car when I get the money saved up for it. Custom panel fabrication isn't going to be cheap. :P

Edit: I just looked at the window sticker posted in the auction. It said 15/24. Wow. That almost scared me away from my 'stealth' supercharger.

 

The Saleen looks terrific, IMHO, but I agree it's about $15K too expensive. Don't know how they expect to sell these at those prices once the Shelby hits the market.
