My 2000 Saleen S281 Mustang

[antzsaleens281]

Hi all,

Ive owned the car since 2011 and slowly but surely got it to where it is today. Its a genuine 2000 Saleen new edge Mustang #801 which is factory supercharged. After 3 months of owning it, I spun a rod bearing. So out came the lump and I rebuilt it with forged internals. Managed to get a good year of enjoyment out of it before putting it away last winter for its next project.

Cars currently off the road having a new bigger supercharger fitted aswell as some heads and stage 2 cams. Hopefully be ready in time for summer. Fingers crossed.

Anyway enough of the crap. Heres some pictures.

That looks so awesome.

What power is it running??

[antzsaleens281]

Thanks! Rolling roaded last year made 350hp. But engine is running lower compression and needed retuning

Wow that is amazing! Lucky you, I really love that

[antzsaleens281]

Thanks Luke.

Sounds great!

Don't see many Mustangs on the road, Saleen less so.

[antzsaleens281]

Thanks John. Yea ive been told its the only new edge Saleen in the UK. Dont know how true that is though but I aint seen another yet.

Nicely done! I'm starting to like these more and more as they age.

Those fenders seem really wide -- are the stock?

[antzsaleens281]

Haha well spotted mate. Previous owner in america had them professionally flared. Gives it that unique look I think

[Coaster94]

This is definitely one of those cars that I shouldn't really like, but its because of that that makes it so special. Hats off to you for taking the plunge, it sounds bleedin' awesome.

Have you any pics of the interior, don't think i've ever seen an inside shot of one.

Keep us updated OP.

[Liquid Tuna]

That sounds lovely. I don't think I'd ever tire of that noise.

Please say it's a manual!

[antzsaleens281]

Thanks for the comments. Yea ill post an interior shot up as soon as I can. The car is a manual which makes it real fun to drive. Hopefully will upgrade it to the Cobra 6 speed to handle the extra power.
