Let's just say it was a bloody battle.

Lunchtime at the Bennigan's parking lot. The Saleen driver was going to his car. I got to my car first, cranked it up, and even before he knew what whizzed past him, I was already 5 carlengths ahead. Ugly, ugly scene.

6 PM, rush hour. I managed to overtake and outmaneuver an M coupe in the meandering drive thru lanes of the martinizing cleaners. Once I passed him, we exchanged a thumbs up (and a couple of middle fingers) and flashed our brights. The M driver admitted his defeat. I'd hate to be that M driver that time.

I'm gonna add 2 more notches on my kill list...

 

nice 'kills'

 

hahahahhahaha....

 

hahaha i love how you killed the saleen! i gotta try that!

 

haha

 

when I read the title, I was scared of what would be inside.... but now,

 

That was absolutely the funniest thing I have read in a while. Thanks for the grin...made my day.

 

 

Does the number designation on the Saleen list its horsepower? Like the Saleen 381 has 381HP? Or is it a designation of the build number, like 381 out of 1000?

This is on-topic because I was going to race this Saleen Mustang once, it had Saleen 281 or 231 on it, can't remember which one.

 

THe S281 is a 4.6 Block supercharged. Ths s 351 (very rare) is a 351 windsor block (5.8 liters).

 

So what kind of HP do these engines put out? I was going to race that S281, but I thought all Saleens were too powerful for my Max.

 

You could never beat those 2 cars...even if I saw it on video!

 

I acutally looked up www.saleen.com after the big kill and that S351 has s/c'd 490 hp and 490 lb ft torque . I was actually humbled by the stats. If it was legit race, I think I would've lost :grin:

 

S281 has like 365 hp or so and MAD TORQUE

 

Not all of em are supercharged. The non-SCed S281 is like 285 HP

 

true.... my bad.... forgot about the NA version

 

Ya same here. There was this supercharged one at the ford dealership near my house. Have to admit it was a nice lookin car. I actually almost bought it but it was all beat up(used).

 

very good!
Hey, to quote "The Fast and the Furious"... it doesn't matter is you win by a inch or a mile... a win is a win!!!
But I seriously though, when I read the title of the post, that someone was going to jail soon!
