    Default 05 saleen s281

    had an 05 saleen S281 roll up on me this morning wasnt lookin to race but he kept pushing & pushing... i ended up getting him by about 3 cars we were rolling at about 45mph, so now he was real mad that a vw was beating up on his big V8 so 2nd race was about 30mph he had the jump (damn boost) but i got him again by a few cars. he didnt give a thumbs up. what a sore loser. i know its not a great race but not 2 bad for a vw

    thats rear wheel although its only rated at 400. They are underrated like the 03 cobras.

    there is no way a 281 SC engine can make 400 rwhp which is about 450-460 bhp with 3 lbs of boost! thats bs. also the car weighs about 3900 lb or more

    it was actually 390 or so rwhp and thats what muscle mustangs and fast fords reported when they dynoed an 05 blown saleen. I really don't know if its true or not though..maybe that Saleen blower is really that good. Its a different blower then what comes on the 03 cobras.

    The overall efficiency gains - in the engine, the supercharger and the intercooler - mean the new supercharged V8 produces more horsepower and torque at a less stressful 6-7 psi boost than last year's supercharged engine at 7-8 psi.
    The S281 SC also benefits from a specific Saleen PowerFlash performance computer along with a Saleen free-flowing air filter.
    The S281 SC cranks out a neck-snapping 400 horsepower, 25 more than last year's S281 SC, and an eye-popping 420 lb-ft torque, 5 more lb-ft than in 2004.

    The 400 bhp figure matches that of the 2005 C6 Corvette.
    just to clarify guys.. its also gout a 3.55 DR as oppose to the old 3.27


    too bad its about 600 lbs heavier than the c6.
    when is chevy going to learn to do 3 cam or 4 cam engines.. i mean they got it with the zr1.

    Holy run on sentence batman.

    Nice kill.The saleens are just overpriced gt's --WAY overpriced.

    As far as the saleen E -they are not even out yet,so there is not a power rating yet..They "say" close to 500hp..But hell the cost of it,will easily be over 75K .

    The base sc saleen is 48k..Not exactly a bang for your buck car.
    Just Your average 600hp mustang

    hey dumbass.....The s281 is a glorified gt mustang...with a different air box and a freakn' body kit. Thats all. The s281 is putting down the same damn horsepower ON A DYNO as a stock mustang GT is. Give or take 5-10 horsepower. Which on a dyno a 99-2004 will put approx. 255-265 horsepower to the wheels. And they weigh in at like 4k. Thats a heavy ass car. Some of the SRT-4's have been know IN A 4 cylinder i mind you, have been known to easly get in the high 200 horsepower range. If that is the case. You take a lighter car with as much horsepower and yes it can do more damage then that big ass V8. All the saleens are over rated as they sit. You pay 45000k + for the same horsepower. So what are you buying, a freakn' Name!! Paul (Admin) can tell you we walked a Mustang gt, with aftermarket exhaust and a H-pipe on the highway. And im not talking barely. Im talking we started behind his ass, then pulled up beside him, I waved and We kept leaving him. So yes you are under estimating the whole fucking situation. So next time when you decide you want to waste someones fucking time. Think about what your saying before you type it. Ass!!

    LOL you should really know what you are talking about before YOU type it..

    Gt's dont even come close to 255~265 at the wheels ,unless it has every bolt there is out there on it..As far as weight..They are not even CLOSE to 4k pounds.

    Mine with everything on it,8 point roll cage,heavier that stock rims,1/2 tank of gas,and me in it is only 3610..

    Lastly the 05's is a completely different beast.different engine.
    It makes about 260rwhp stock..With minor bolt ons it makes a easy 285+rwhp n/a.

    BAsed on what you know about stangs.Im sure you could have just raced a 6 cyl with a dual exhaust kit on it and thought it was a gt...There are a few of those running around..
    Just Your average 600hp mustang

    he didn't say he raced, he said i raced, he was in the car...

    and i raced a GT mustang w/ a cobra front clip, we ran from 80-130mph.

    windsor it was the last gen body style. from what i've experienced most mustang drivers are like civic drivers; they sound faster than they are

    BAsed on what you know about stangs.Im sure you could have just raced a 6 cyl with a dual exhaust kit on it and thought it was a gt...There are a few of those running around..

    well since were on the subject of mustangs....lets see here my plate on the side of my mustang WHICH IS A V6 mustang says it weighs in at 3600lbs. Now if im not mistaken a v8 would probably be weighing in a tad bit more then that. so yeah my math is right on that. and as far as the dyno's my best friend owns a stock v8 gt mustang, and he had it dynoed and it dynoed on a hot day at 255 to the wheels stock. His has a 2001 i dont know if they changed anything between 99-2004 except the years....

    and i raced a GT mustang w/ a cobra front clip, we ran from 80-130mph.

    windsor it was the last gen body style. from what i've experienced most mustang drivers are like civic drivers; they sound faster than they are
    thats true. You just have to watchout for the quiet ones.
