Any one know what a 2000 Non S/C Saleen put down for numbers?? Dont know much about them other then the body kit and the suspension is different. I thought it was a 3v with 300 horse? could be wrong tho. And is it beatable with the mods in my sig...

You have stock 3.27 gears? Is it a 5spd or auto. If it's the 5spd he has 3.55 gears which with your mods, he'll beat you on gearing alone. They have some odds and ends on it... BHP is 335 and tor is 345

i think that is for S/C. i thought no S/C saleens are stock GT's with body kits?

no.. thats for the basic coupe... it has a tune on it and some minor bolt ons... the s/c is like 465bhp 425tb ft tor and the s281E is 550bhp/525lb ft tor.

Ya its a 5spd, but i thought the non s/c saleens were 300 horse kinda like the 05 gts? this isnt the newer saleens its a 2000, werent the numbers different back in 00' compared to the 05s?

oh my fault, sorry...

They are tuned with a body kit... not sure about gearing. You should take him fine.

Its cool, you have one sweet cobra man!! The funny thing is we met up at dunks in the center of town, me in my car, my cousion in his (96 impala ss modified) and the kid with the saleen and a bunch of other people. Hes the one who wanted to race, when we pulled up he backed down for some strange reason. I kept tellin him to come, but he never did. So the only race of the night was me and my cousin. I figured it wo9uld have been a good race , i thought i coulda taken him. I have never seen him drive so i have no idea how good/bad of a driver he is.

I've watched S/C S281 Saleens run high 13's all day. A N/A Saleen isn't any quicker than a basic bolt-on GT.
