2008 saleen S281 supercharged

[ls6 zo6]

What is the average quarter mile time for a stock 2008 S281 supercharged Saleen mustang. A guy I know just bought one I know it is supposed to be 465hp. Just wondering what I would be up against in a race.

Around the skidpad and figure eight, though, the S281, utilizing a "Racecraft Suspension" with linear-rate coil springs, a larger 35mm front anti-roll bar, and N2 dampers, exhibited poor grip and posted a slow time. Observes technical editor Kim Reynolds: "The Saleen exhibits a lot of understeer in these tests and seems resistant to rotation." The S281 was also resistant to stopping, needing 123 feet to erase 60, a feat attributable to its stock brakes

Hope that helps some. I'm sure some of our local Mustang guys will hop in here and make this right, lol!

*edit* That's for the 3valve version. The article does state there is a 465hp and a 550hp version of the car as well. The one above is a 335hp version. So there are three different ones, hopefully he has the 3 valve! Our LLT v6 cars will damn near run with it, lol.


Link to the whole article Just under $50k for the 3 valve? WOW!!
