Saleen 281 are SLOW

03-17-2002, 11:56 AM

Well we were all at the light (sihatch zorro and some other people at the light) a brand spankin new 281 Saleen pulls up behind me. Him and his girl were talkin shit about imports suck this and that. Of course i dont here non of this cause my radio was up. i turned down my radio and heard Dont be afraid of the 4doors lol i was like great. well they laugh at me light turns green and i take off like a bat out of hell. then and there he knew i wasnt a fuckin joke. i slow down (got way to squirly and fast) and he then decided to push and do a ricer flyby :thumbdown that shit was sooooooooo slow. i say fuck that

i a few min later who do we run into agait the 281 himself. well i teased him for a bit he decideds to get on it i smash the gas and instantly pull like 2 cars on him he slows down. this happens like 2-3 times

Well i get a call from zach sayin Cop Cop Cop im like fuck we stop at the light i see the cop in the lane next knowing he knows i was goin ungodly fast i make a quick turn onto fletcher like 3 secs later the lights come on but instead of pulling me over he pulls over some guy in an eclpise with altezza tails. God loves me!
Moral of the story:
Saleen 281 = SLOW

The thing about Saleens is some are fast some are not so fast. Depends on the model. The basic ones have suspension and body stuff but almost nothing done to the stock 281 engine.

And it is super difficult to tell them apart as well. At least the s281-E will be nonstandard colors. I beat the snot out of a supercharged one on the highway a week ago and didnt even know it was supercharged until I squinted at the tiny embalem on the back trunk.

Good kill regardless mang.

Good kill Sabri. Next time hell think twice before talking shit at a red light.

03-17-2002, 02:18 PM

How do i know which one is supercharged and which one isnt? Is there anything in particular to look for Craig?

Indeed nice kill. But I wouldnt exactly call a 281 a big v8. Now the 440 sitting at my parents house...that my friends is a BIG v8.

dude i was next to them at the first light. i told them (the dude and his girl) we have a run for them and i pionted to the sabri mobile his woman said oh honey its a saleen! we all laughed at her and then she started talking trash for her man. well then the light turned green and like sabri said he took off. the guy at first didnt know what was going on he thought it was all a joke until sabri dropped the hammer this face was like fuck me thats fast. as i passed him i told him he just didnt know. it was funny as hell.

281s arent exactly big V8s but they can be decently quick

bitemark46 · 03-17-2002, 07:52 PM

Good kill. Ya there are slow but arent designed for drag racing. They have stiff as hell suspension for road coarse and 18 rims. They baseline saleens probably run low 14s. -Mark

There is the small emblem on the trunk. Also keep a lookout for a center mounted guage pod up on the very top/center of the dash. The only 99-up cars with these are the Saleens with the blowers unless someone put it there aftermarket.

Good kill.
