Need more info, but it looks like an S-281 which is around 400 hp if memory serves me right, but I'm faily sure it's not an extreme, and is not the 450 hp version.

With the price of gas hiting new hieghts, I'd make sure I have a good daily driver before I even consider something like this, because a car like this is solely a show/weekend/showoff to buddie car.

I believe the saleen extreme is 425hp. From the looks of the pic, it doesn't look like the 281 E or extreme. The extremes are 60hp more so that's probably the 365hp model.

Saleen > Cobra (03/04) in 'cool factor' and holding value.

That's an S281SC... essentially a supercharged GT w/ a body kit.

Unless you are an absolute Saleen fanatic, that's a huge waste of money.

Cobra will take less work to make 600rwhp.
M112'd forged 4V > twin screw'd stock bottom end 2V in that case.

Beautifulcar anyways! Man I love that spoiler, together with the sides. How difficult is to put the same one on the Sixer, and where to get it?
