Is this full of BS, he hasn't replied to me yet, but I didn't think there was such a thing. Still a nice car though.

Just put a saleen kit and wheels on a cobra. There's quite a few ppl that have done that. It doesn't add value to the car.

I know it doesn't add value to the car to put on a body kit, but if this is a true saleen than it really is worth 38, but if it's a KB Cobra with a Saleen body kit, I think its pretty high.

Here's the deal with this stang. It is actually a cobra with some sort of aftermarket blower (most likely kenne bell but dont quote me on that) it's got a full saleen body kit and spoiler. It also has the saleen rims and stickers. It's pretty cool but he is defenitely wrong calling it an S-281 because that is not the Saleen 2-281 block under the hood, it's the SVT 4.6 32v block. Saleen will never, in the near forseeable future, make a cobra because SVT (Special Vehicles Team) makes that trim of the mustang. SVT, Roush, Saleen, are the three seperate big dogs in the manufacturer's full line of aftermarket parts for mustangs realm, with steeda brining up the rear. The stang is pretty cool but it's not worth 38 grand

^You're right that is a Kenne Bell, and he did do a good job with all the stickers and decals to make it look authentic, but I don't think it is a S-281 like you mentioned. Overpriced, but nice car. Gonna keep looking.

Actually you're wrong. Saleen DID tune cobras in 2003 and 2004. It was somewhere around the neighborhood of 18 or so. So not many. And if you look in the engine bay you can see the saleen plague. You can also see one by the shifter. And it has the saleen gauges. If I had to guess I would say it's OFFICIAL. It has everything a saleen cobra should have.But you can call up saleen with the number on the bumper and VIN and make sure it's offical. But, I don't think the guy is B.Sing you.

Oh and another thing. It has a 281ci block. In case you didn't know a cobra engine is still 281ci. It's just a 4V.
