Not sure if anyone's seen this before but they're jsut down the road in Orange County. Not to my taste but the spec list is interesting. I like the option of nitrous
If anyones passing through Orange County then you can roll up at Saleen for a factory tour.

 

Was that company in 2F2F

Name sounds familiar

Nice looking car though, are you buying any bits for yours?

 

Didnt they make or have something to do with the car that was in the advert on tv?

 

they made the car that Jim Carrey drove in the "Bruce Almighty"
I think it's called an S7 ?

 

Yup there's an S7 and I believe there is a 725bhp version jsut out too!

Wont be doing much more than a K&N panel and remapped chip to my SVT. Should give it a bit more life anyway.

 

Wow it's like how the focus could have looked if it had come out in the 80's.

 

The 2005 Saleen Mustang S281SC




Supercharged V8, 4601 cc, 400 bhp @ 5800 rpm, 420 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm

 

It's crashed into Home Depot

only 400 HP from a 4.6 ltr super charged V8? you got to love american engineering.

 

its called reliability and emissions compliance

 

Focus looks crap

Mustang looks cool

 

Red car what get crushed by the truck

 

I like the Focus it's just a shame the American spec Focus has a nasty sticky out rear bumper. Ruins the lines of the car

 

there was one of those saleen mustangs in the carpark at goodwood. looked smart in the flesh!

 

My Focus has a massooooooooooooooooooive arse on it - its quite embarassing. Silly American legislation

 

What's it all about?

 

Im sorry but what the fuck are SALEEN , who are well known for creating some truely monster cars !

Fucking about with a Chavved up Focus and adding Nitrous to it I think someone in the Research and development division has just watched Fast and Furious for the very first time

 

This is more like it

 

It's only 150bhp as well. Even with the N20 pumping it's hardly going to be a ball of fire

 

Its the bumper law they have for cars that are made in the US, basicly you have to have a minimum sized bumper on the car. You see it a load on the older cars that didn't have em originally over here, no bumper, in the states, had one.

Dont work to well with import cars thou and I know some cars a blatanly flouting it, so not to sure how it works.

 

Saleen were originally a tuning house just like RUF or 9FF and their bread and butter was mustangs of which there are a ton of Saleen'd ones round here. Hence the Focus. I have to say it aint a looker!

 

There's a green Focus in Fast Ford that has a euro back bumper and with the rest of the Yank mods it looks the fucking bollocks
