Who here thinks there Max can take a Saleen? I have a 96 5 spd. Max which has become my beater car… the saleen is fast! Boys DON’T EVEN TRY IT! The 99 Saleen is a show piece of American power! Bring the fastest Max on, trust me not apples and oranges. I love my Max but the Saleen is in another league!

The question shouldn't be is there a Max that can take it, but how many? It a quick car (the 351) but if its way faster than your max, your Max was slow to begin with

I know I ran a few S/C'ed Cobras in SA, and they were pretty quick, but didn't take me....some where I think there's a video.....

Bring it on!!!! eheheeee

There is a 1999 Saleen mustang in my home town that runs 14.2-14.4's all day long. SB97MAX just installed his SC on his max and is running 13.8's. He has an automagic also. If you were SC'd I'd say you should race for pinks.

That's got to be a pretty weak driver or just a poser...

Its a true Saleen. He popped the hood and showed me the SC and everything. Maybe he just doesnt know how to shift it properly? Those are his true times though.

Why would you post this here? Of course your S/C'd Saleen could take most maximas, different cars. How is it not apples and oranges? Do turbocharged Viper owners come onto the Mustang webpages and brag about how they could take Saleen's? Plus, there are a few Maximas that could take your car. What does your Saleen run? Finally, you can always make a Maxima faster with more mods. You can't ever make a Saleen hold as much stuff.

Whoa there cowboys... I think he got the picture. Must have been one of those hit and run posts.. You know, the kind that love to get us all worked up. Also, 14.2/14.4 is pretty slow for a SALEEN. The guy must have started out in 3rd gear or something.

P.S.
KICK HIS *** DON!

LOL

I'll bet even my unmodified Max(97 GLE Auto) is faster then that saleen most of the time. When you factor in shop time that is.

The Saleen was running those times at aprox. 5500 feet.
