New Saleen >>> C6Z06
We had a nice thread about the Saleen S281E (550hp/520tq) racing the Z06. Well guess what was unveiled at the car show I was in yesterday (got 4th btw [:@])!!!:
2008 Saleen S302 Extreme!
620hp
600ftlbs
3400lbs
3.73:1 gears
Considering the S281E has been run to high 11s without too much trouble, and that the Saleen rep assured me that the new S302E would be significantly underrated, I think Corvette's Project Blue Devil needs to hurry up and get on the ball if they want to compete again...

They also unveiled the regular S302R, 580hp/~560tq. This car should be a PERFECT match against the C6Z06 in terms of performance, and maybe a little bit of an advantage in the straights

RE: New Saleen >>> C6Z06
Nice ! thats a badass mustang, but again .... why spend 80K dlls when u can buy a GT500 for 49K new or even cheaper, spend 6 grand with a nice KB blower and you will have a 800+ rwhp beast.
And still, atleast for me the name Shelby > Saleen. Not saying that saleen is bad but shelby is a shelby.
I like everything about the Extreme mustangs except their price tag !! [&:]

RE: New Saleen >>> C6Z06
Yeah, the price tag is a little out there. With Saleens, at least there won't be a markup though. You can always buy direct from them if your dealership stocks them with a big markup, and Saleen itself won't charge over sticker unless you work out a special setup like custom paint.
