Saleen manufactures limited edition, high-performance vehicles. Saleen is an automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the last American small car manufacturer bearing OEM status.
Saleens are technically not mustangs since they must pass their own crash tests, emissions, etc. But they still remain Mustang's To Us!
Saleen was founded by racer Steve Saleen in 1983, with the first
model being a 1984 Saleen Mustang. The first Saleen's were mainly
focused on looks, and used stock Ford engines. As the years grew, so
did the performance. Saleen has won many races with his Mustangs,
including the famous 24 hours of Le Mans, 24 hours of Daytona. Saleen has many different versions of the Mustangs,
all called the "S281", such as the S281 SC with a supercharged 4.6
Liter V8, making 465 hp ; and the S281-E Extreme, in which they
have replaced the factory 4.6 liter with a Saleen-built V8 engine,
increasing the power to almost 550 hp Now thats power!
