- Check out this great video test drive featuring a 730 Horsepower Supercharged Saleen Anniversary Edition S302 Mustang PLUS I get to drag race it against a Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star Jet! If you want to go right to the drag race hit 6:48.
In this film I'll take you for a test drive up a beautiful canyon road here in Southern California and let you experience the sights and sounds of this amazing vehicle... this might be one of the most advanced Ford Mustangs yet!
Then we go to Saleen Automotive headquarters for a quick "show and tell" from where they make these new S302 monster Mustangs.

And finally, it's out to the Mojave Desert and Fox Field air strip for a flat out top speed run against a T33 Jet!
I was lucky enough to get invited to an event called Super Cars Vs Fighter Jets put on by Precision Exotics... here's a link:

Thanks for watching!
i love the front design of that saleen so much! :D
It is a good looking Mustang!
It looks so much like the updated Charger. Kinda throws me off.
@@TheJuicyGiraffe fax I was thinking the front end looks like a skat pack
That is the best Saleen packed Mustang I have seen. And that sound! just wow. Jason you Lucky Dog! p.s. I really want 5 minutes of video of just hearing the Mustang on the canyon road.
Ok, we'll see! I really like the Black Label lineup from Saleen and would choose that over Camaro ZL1-1LE or Hellcat any day. I haven't driven the Shelby yet so I can't compare at this point but look forward to that opportunity!
The Shelby GT350 is absolutely amazing, but people including auto journalist forget, That recipe.. was created by Saleen long before Ford decided to get-it-together with the Mustang. Saleen's were always built for the track, not the dragstrip, and during the company's heyday, most people (states' side) didn't have a clue about real sports car track performance. As such only the well inclined understood just what Saleen's were, and just what the mustang was capable of re-worked by pro's. Saleen's were the first track performance Mustangs after the bygone era of the original 60's Shelby GT350's. Straigh off the showroom floor with real racing dna directly from their multiple endurance racing championships against the best in the industry. Saleen has been off the radar but its not a reflection of their products. Good to Saleen back in the public's eye.
Very well said!
If people only knew of Saleen's accomplishments with the humble mustang, Of all their back to back scca and fia Gt championships with the mustang. That Saleen mustangs ran in the 24 hr of lemans and fared quite well though one car dnf'd . Long before the 2013/4 Boss 302, its performance numbers were achieved by the 1998 saleen s351sr. crushing the likes of porsche ferrari corvette or its era. and all achieved with a neutralized solid rear axel. something the average joe claimed to be impossible. It took Ford the better part of 16 years to decide to tune the mustangs correctly. Thankfully they finally understand why. Btw.. that Anniversary edition s302, is that good without the use of a magneride suspension. which means, like the Shelby GT350, its mechanical based foundation makes the car is an utter monster with any additional improvements th-cam.com/video/D8wDAEXPbIY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SaleenOwnersandEnthusiastsClub
xevious2501: Exactly. It kind of got very boring when his company was of the radar a few years ago. But to have the company back and with a new car coming in a couple of months as we speak.
💯 🔥🔥🔥
I'm surprised saleen didn't put a higher speedometer in it, 160 isn't near top speed for that machine i bet
Ikr.............
Nobody who is a serious driver looks at a speedometer above 120MPH.
I have a normal 2006 saleen with no super charger and hit 160 with more room to go.. but my speedometer goes to 200, never made sense to me that they put that low of a speedometer for something like that lmao
@@waterlaws it goes to 2000??
Took my 2000 Saleen to 180 against a Ford lighting on 95... he dropped off after 150😆
Coyotes sound so freaking good :) Those runway races are awesome.
Agree on both counts!
Holy shit, it’s gorgeous
It is a great looking car!
autoedit perfection in so many ways
Majestic Hotwings lol that username! 😂
Oh my godness!!! I can only imagine how good this power must feel. What a machine!!! Sound is unbelievable!!! Wow, I would like to drive this thing so much, but I'm from Europe and can't afford one. So I watch your wideos:)
Well thanks so much for watching and making a great comment!
Thanks for answer!!!
2:22 this looks and both sounds like something out of speed racer! lol such a badass car! 😂😎
It is a really well sorted out vehicle!
Wow dude, cant believe you raced a jet haha
It was a good day!
I seen a 89 Saleen Mustang in a Ford dealership I fell in love with them ever since
Hopefully they don't break down multiple times and have lawsuits on their hands yet again. Saleen was and should be Ford's only side company to do their performance cars. This Stang is a beast
Saleen need more PR for their cars. Maybe give one to Matt Fatah for a onetake
turshin I didn’t know Saleen still produced cars until I saw one of these featured in a random GT350 video. $46k is a steal for this. Much more character than Roush.
Yessss can’t believe you raced a jet and I am digging the color scheme on this thing
Don't like Ford's, but that Mustang is bad ass...
Dam I can't believe I missed this badass Saleen back in 2017! It's really nice. I can't wait to see the 2021 mach 1 next spring! I'm definitely not going to miss that one!
Incredibly giddy just watching! Must have been an other-worldly experience to take part in. Thanks for another great vid!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing and so glad to see Saleen is alive and well.
Thanks! Yes he is... check out the tour video I did with him if you get a moment... th-cam.com/video/OKvaOXo030U/w-d-xo.html
autoedit Already had! That was a great video also!
Always had a sweet spot for the saleen mustangs this one blows it out of the water Gorgeous car and exhilirating experience id bet.
It was an absolute joy to drive! Even in the pouring rain it was very manageable.
autoedit yep looks that way. Nice fun cars.
Looks like slot of fun! I had a 2015 Mustang GT, it is hard to imagine it having so much more power like the Saleen.
The amazing thing about this car is that it was very manageable. If you floor it, things happen real fast but in traffic and around town it was just like driving a "normal" Mustang!
That was seriously fucking awesome! Thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it... I had fun with this one!
I did not know this mustang existed. The front reminds me of the Sn-95 I own except more what is should of ended up in the early 2000’s.
This should get you excited for Marge!
Yes it does!
If you weren't expecting that to hook, you aren't very familiar with what Saleen specializes in. Roush Mustangs go straight. Saleen Mustangs turn corners. Awesome car and thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching and taking a moment to comment!
Nonsense, the new roush stage 3 put down better numbers than the gt350r on the skidpad. The magneride suspension cars will have comparable handling regardless of which flavor u prefer....
Great content and well produced. I like the new Test Drive format and it’s good to see you outside of the normal DIY type videos.
I think this will be a nice car to flip in the near future. It will bring nice money at auctions.
Looks like an amazing car. I enjoyed the factory tour video. I wish I was flying that jet.
America’s back roads: you have been warned.
Yes, this is too much horsepower for meat-heads like me to have!
They are still good roads in Ireland u can’t go 20 meters without seeing a pothole
I don't the powerpoint presentation style graphics on it, but the rest I love.
I totally get this!
1 of my dream car...
You should buy one Jason. You earned it!
that supercharger bell looks sick along with that cold air intake
Had a 2008 Saleen S281 red flag edition...car #179. 465hp 425tq....back in 2008 with the base Mustang gt only being 300hp, the supercharger gave it a nice usuable amount of power, that was more than enough to upset 95% of the cars likely to pull up next to you at a light, even though it wasnt really built just for drag racing, but it was nice on a track and it was a fun car to drive. A legit low 12 sec car around 110-112mph back before all the new cars were capable of that like they are now. Car was black with red accents. Definitely enjoyed it while I had it
Who had more fun the drivers or the pilot, 50ft off the ground. Never heard of that event but it’s cool
He is such a talented pilot... He just hangs that plane over the runway to play with the cars and then hauls outta there!
Damn, that's a sweet Mustang.
Amazing
Thanks!
That was awesome! Looked like a blast!
4:30 TURN IT UP!
It was a little low as the car got away there... but still sounded so good!
Awesome video that looks super fun! I’m jealous I would love to take one of those to the track.
I actually would’ve loved to take it to a road course because it is soooooooo good in the twisty stuff!
Ford! For fuck's sake! Bring these cars to the UK & Europe! Shelby! Roush! Saleen! People want these cars! 80% of Mustangs sold in the UK are V8's! Make it happen!
The P01 that reads on the front bumper actually means Prototype. So the P in P01 stands for prototype not production.
KILLABEE RACING PETE THE GREEK: It actually means a racer prototype for road racing series.
Reminds me of the 1988 SSC .
Wait what!? They went through all of that effort to make that the most bad ass mustang ever and they left the stock speedo in it?! What a shame! Haha. Awesome vid though man! Wouldn't mind seeing more like this.
It has a custom Saleen speedometer that reads to 160 which is reasonable. Not very often you get to go any faster than that... even on track days I've only really hit 130 or so.
not a huge mustang guy but this was done right
Amazing content and good driving! Very ideal for a car review
Thank you so much!
My dream pony
I'm a Camaro fan, I love everything Saleen
I want this on any shelby or hellcat
Of course , and it holds value like nothing..
It's tough to choose which one I like better, the naturally aspirated V8 Shelby GT350R, or this Supercharged V8 Saleen S302 Black Label, they both sound amazingly identical, so it would likely come down to which ever one I could/would get the better deal on, you can't go wrong with either whip...
I love the flat plane v8 or Voodoo engine in the GT350R but would probably miss the extra 300 horsepower the Black edition offers!
AutoEdits It's actually an extra 205 horsepower to be exact, the Shelby GT350R has 525 horsepower...
Great video! Awesome work.
Thanks!
I've got a 2015 mustang gt with roush phase 2 supercharger 727 hp, crazy fast and just too much fun.
That sounds like a fun hot rod!
But does it drift like a Mustang? Asking from a bystander perspective
Sounds amazing!!
It is a great sounding vehicle!
Nice video. I wish you would do another video in your third gen Camaro again.
And let the eargasms begin.
Those Saleen Mustangs been nasty ever since they came out and I believe 88 I could be mistaken
Chevy Guy here, but yeah I'll take one for Christmas.
Oh yeah she’s a keeper.
I agree...LOL
Only 30 built? Guess that’s another car that might see the light of day at Cars and Coffee.
Saleen vs roush race please
You are a lucky guy.
This was baddass...though if i had to chose between a GT350 and this? I'd have to choose both! X3
na, saleen ftw
gives me r1 60th aniversary edition vibes
Jason, how did this compare to the 2011 Super Snake?
Awesome question! The Saleen is better in every way but the looks. If given the choice, would own the Super Snake purely for appearance... and then slap some black Saleen wheels with these amazing General tires on there.
@@AutoEdits thanks buddy!
awesome!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
damn I wish I had it
Awesome thanks
Still a sick car!
I agree!
The older saleen has a higher speed domoter and is faster sorry if I spelled something wrong
Cool great vid
Does anyone else think that the front of the car looks a lot like a Dodge Charger lol
Jon Chitwood me
My city has a highway patrol saleen mustang gifted from saleen over here in riverside
Race a jet? Really? Until the jet gathers speed and lifts off. That would be fun. I don't have a Saleen but I do have a Pro Charged '15 Mustang GT that dyno tested 654 rear wheel hp. I sure would like to try that along side a jet. Btw, that Saleen 30th Anniversary looks totally awesome. I'd love to have that sound on mine. Would you tell me what kind of exhaust system is on it?
It's the Saleen exhaust kit. You can order it from them for any Mustang.
Pedals are perfect for heel-toe? Saleen must have moved them a bit. In my Mustang, it's like Ford went out of their way to stop heel-toe shenanigans.
Don't know what year you have but this car was absolutely perfect.
It's a 2020
dang this actually looks AWESOME!
It is awesome! Thanks!!!
700 is much even for a bigrig, so 1st gear is useless because it can spin in 2nd so you don't lose aything
Top Speed: Unknown :)
Love the front of this saleen what year is this saleen ?
I think it was a 2017. The Saleen S302 "Black Label" looks about the same from 2015-2023.
I wanna see an old school fastback rebuilt like the Helephant Charger
thats it put even more power in a mustang all thats going to do have meet its maker faster. horsepower don't mean crap if you cant keep it on the road
Dear Santa, Please bring me this car.
Wow. That's all I can say. Wow.
Get back in your Jeep. Lol. Cool video.
Don't worry, there's more Jeep stuff.
I love it sexy ass hell thats what im talking about good job designer's
That's Steve Saleen all the way.
how much
Hey I purchased this car a few months ago. It started at 87k w all the options it was 99k
Yeah me too, i bought 2 of them, one for driving and one for parts scavenging.
She's not for sale
🔥🔥🔥
I like the car. Not too thrilled about the exhaust note or the IROC wheels.

What?
I think the neon won N green the bedd
Me likey. Me wanty
Seems to be an issue getting parts from Saleen.
😍
Looks like the gta mustangs
No it’s the dominator gtx they stole it from gta ;)
Nice one!!!🤣
Is it stick shift?
Yes
Just to take this to ride around would empty your wallet hard
Badass
never been in an S302 but I have been in a T33
That seems fairly awesome.
@@AutoEdits yep!
At 8:50, F-22 Raptor. :o)
Is it faster than a hellcat?
Yep... but I love them both!
Front looks like a damn charger
I kinda thought challenger
