si vs new saleen

[99B16Si]

i was on erlich heading towards sheldon when a dark orange saleen convertible pulled out in fron of me. we both hit a light a few cars back he proceded to weave in and out of traffic and get in front of everyone. he went threw at least 3 or 4 gears and i followed behind slowly. we both hit a light a couple blocks down and i talked to him. he said it was a supercharged V8 and he had a 50shot on it. we proceded to roll out of the light and i just held it in second gear and i told him to get on it. i was chillin at like 5500rpm in second gear and hit it right after he did. he jumped about a half a car then i got back even with him at the top of second(when all 11psi kicked in) and passed him in third. then let off in the middle of third. i dont think he was spraying tho.
he was a little crazy lookin, looked kinda like tom petty, but still a pretty cool guy and a good run.

yes the 03 cobra has a DOHC 32v 4.6 w/an eaton blower the same one thats on the Lightning... the saleen is just a SOHC 4.6 w/ a saleen speedlab blower.... for the money the cobra is the way to go, it has alot more potential than the Saleen..

[99B16Si]

so basically a saleen is a supercharged mustang GT???

yes for the most part... the saleen has a real nice look and stance, w/ a whole lot bigger price tag:o

btw what color is your car?

Good kill. Way to lay the smackdown on the Tom Petty. :lol:

-Mark

[Billy]

Good kill

[JuicedSS262]

Dude--You killed Tom Petty.

I don't think that was good. Even if Mark said it was, it was wrong. You will pay for that one.

the dude killed TP....WTF?

I know a certain 03 cobra with 11PSI of boost.

Good kill thug.

[StreetDriven]

there's a 4.6 supercharged saleen and there there is a 351 supercharged.

[the anti-rice]

Ive seen the same guy on DM. Hes got some messed up eye(s), and looks like Tom Petty. :lol:

[BlackLT1]

Dont make fun of my dad j/k

Nice kill, not all Saleens are supercharged but some are.
Id rather get a 03 its a much better deal, but a sonic blue saleen with some chrome rims is a nice looking car.

[Strongest Man In The World]

The S351 is one BAD MUTHA! or should i say WAS! :(

good kill on the s281, they look good and run pretty good but the price is kinda steep!

good kill bitch

I've owned and modded four 5.0's, and it's been my experience that Saleens were never very great straightliners. Steve Saleen for Ford will never be what John Ligenfelter is to Chevy IMHO. They are beautiful cars though...

As an aside, every magazine that had the "Bazillion HP Saleen Supercharged 351" to test drive never completed the test trials (always blew something-and for high speed runs were taping crap to make it more aerodynamic).

The real 'stang sleepers are made by "Steeda" here in Florida. High quality, OK pricing, and well thought out stuff make it a great quality sleeper 'stang.

BFL though, the '03 blown Cobra is the way to go 'stang wise...

Nice kill though-be careful in traffic!

i wanted a Steeda Q a couple years ago...but no dealerships had them or anything...didnt they make like 350hp?

Hey man I love your sticker about the tight clothing, where did you find that? I would love have that sticker on the back of my car:D and I also I really like that you live your life an 1/8 mile at a time @ 8.8sec.... My 8,000lb Navigator ran 8.70 @ sunshine.... btw your sticker kicks ass...

They are all over ebay, I bought one and they look real nice. However I will probably never put it in my car.

Nice kill. How the hell did you find traction in 2nd gear? I'm going to need to find a way for traction soon too.

[95gsr]

did you give him the deeyertay wave as you past him?
nice kill.
