Not to bad talk a Saleen but they really aren't that fast. Remember, the numbers that they post 365 hp is at the motor. They are producing somewhere around 300 hp to the rear. That is not must more than a nicely set up 5.0. I personnally walk away from them at 2/3 throttle. Then again I do have a bit done to my car. Now I not saying that it isn't a good starting platform, but you still need to mod it to earn peoples respect on the street.

Just my thoughts,

I agree that you can not beat the looks of the 99 and up Saleens. Anyone that wants to see a good looking 2000 gt with a Saleen body kit go here. He is really good friend of mine and I don't know if you can tell or not but it has these awesome ghost flames on the front.http://www.midweststangs.com/members/Vitoman/

The Saleens are sweet no matter what! I liked that passenger thinking they had it won then he got the WTF look. Thats what he gets for being cocky and waving his hand to soon!:lol1:

Anyone know what the s-281s run in the quarter?
I like the way they look, but that was pretty sad.
