Hi Guys, great Forum here and great service you provide ! I'm looking at a 1996 S281 #344 that is for sale locally. The VIN is listed as 1FALP42X3TF215924. The ad says it has the original Vortech V-1 w/ gen 3 bracket upgrade and 3.3" pulley (whatever that means). Can someone tell me if it's the real deal Saleen ? I can provide more info if needed. Many thanks ! P.S. It's a hardtop coupe.

Looks like the VIN checks out. However, I believe the S-351's were theonly Saleens to see factory-installed superchargers that year.

Thanks for the answer Mills. I read elsewhere in this forum that was the case about the SC not being original and you just confirmed it for me. He claims 312 RWHP and according to one calculator that might be good for high 12's in the Q-mile. I would want a Saleen that would at least be a little quicker than my 89 Fox GT (probably a high 13 sec. car). How much HP are the mod motors good for before they go pop ?

Got another one I need checked out if someone would be so kind. It's a 2004 S281 #213, VIN# 1FAFP42X84F187875. It has about 13K miles, and he's asking about $20K. No mods as far as I can tell. Is that a fair price ? Thanks !
