Love It More Than Any Other Car. — Driving this car was amazing, hearing the supercharger kick in is to incredible for words, this car is worth its money and is the last AF Brand New Saleen s281 supercharged. It turns like a dream and has that muscle car feel and sound.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

What A Mustang Should Be From The Factory!! — It's a head turner! Looks, power, and performance are beyond reproach. Dependability has not been an issue. It is a pure joy to drive and gets 23mpg...you can't beat that! It just oozes the word cool...I love it ;)

Because its got the power you want and the sex appeal you love.

Cons

Gas mileage starts to wear on your wallet.

Its The Sexiest Car I've Ever Driven. — It's all around just a fun car to drive. Its got great acceleration and good top end speed, its braking is unbelievable and it handles the corners with ease. The appearance is just stand out with its sleak curves and long body. Its cas mileage is ok depending on if you like to just get on it all the time or not, its a amazing car to drive.

Saleen Mustang — the saleen mustang is a beefed up version of a normal mustang with great 0-60, the bulky super snake engine i put in roars to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and the car roars down streets and tracks at just under 190 mph, the cars gas mileage is nothing great, the car is super fun to drive in especially with the new sparco racing seats, It has needed repairs, not because of the car itself but because I got rear ended by a stupid Peterbuilt.

My Saleen — This car was so beautiful and fast, it made me cry all night when we sold it. I had it up to 120 m.p.h. and it felt so good the 375 horsepower V-8 Supercharged engine roaring in the front, you didn't even need music. This car was my favorite of the many cars i have owned. These cars including a 1989 Porsche 911 sport coupe, a 2001 Honda S2000, a 1969 black Corvette, etc.

A Super-muscle Car In My Opinion — Performs like a muscle car on supercar steroids. Hasn't need any fixing. Beautiful design to it. Got 18mpg at the Flashlight Drags and got 30mpg on the interstate before. I'd say a very very fun car to drive all together. It has the best of the muscle cars with the best of the supercars.

2007 Liquid Mercury Sc281 — I love it although I am seeing what others think! The car is awesome and there are only a few..."Saleen Power In The Hands Of A Few" It sure does have power, great handling, and sure does turn heads!
