Saleen was the all American firm who developed and built sports and racing cars which could be used on the track as well as on the road for motoring enthusiasts like you and me. The Saleen Mustang was a car designed specifically to go fast and look good however the first of the models fell very short of living up to the expectations that the people were hoping for. In 1984 the first ever Saleen Mustang was designed and put into action by the developer Steve Saleen.
The first off the line were given stock standard engines from the old Ford motor vehicles so they were more for looks rather than for sporting triumph. Even though the hype was high and the advertising went gang busters the original Saleen Mustang was only eye candy and like most American cars fell apart because of the poor workmanship. Later however the faults were rectified and the car was given a complete makeover including engine, gear box, wiring and décor.
The super charged version of the next generation Saleen had a near 500 horsepower motor in it which was an extra 100+ on top of the original car form 1984. The external design was mostly the same however with the all new V8 supercharged engine there was not a lot of competition from the normal Ford Mustang. The Saleen S302 was built in 2007 which was a very exclusive Mustang to own. Designed by a racing car driver this vehicle was one which brought back the good name to the car manufactures Saleen after so many years of failed projects.
The GT Saleen as well as the Cobra where all counterparts to the Saleen Mustang era which rose high during the good times and was redundant during the hard times. With the recent economic crisis and the president of America calling out for fuel and power reforms this would be a good time to find one of the older Saleen Mustang vehicles and purchase it for yourself before all of the classic cars are taken off the road. In a few years time the Saleen could be classed as vintage or classic which means that you can drive it around on Sundays to car shows and swap meets.
