I'm a chev guy as well have both a mustang and a trans am I still prefer the look of the Fbody trans am over everything but I do love the saleen look I am probably gonna Frankenstein my mustang as a clone of the saleen exterior (no decals) with the mach 1 seats and cluster I'll let it be known it's a clone but just take my favorite looks of the new edge era
The 3 brake system upgrades for a 99-04 were Alcon, Brembo, and AP Racing. The Saleen heat extractor was an option on the NA or supercharged version. The S281 Cobra can’t remember if the 99 and 01 got a heat extractor or retained the ford hood. The 03-04 S281 Cobras retained the ford hood. The 02-04 S281 Extreme also got their own unique hood.
Don't forget the limited 99 S351 Saleen Mustangs. Yours didn't come with the supercharged emblem under your decklid S281 emblem? Is yours an S281SC or an S281?
You're very knowledgable of Saleen Mustangs. I have an almost brand new (5K) Saleen 2003 s281SC convertible that is garage kept. I Love this car. Looks almost like yours, except mine is Gray. I Wished it was a R-Cobra. 1 in 29 makes for a difficult find. I didn't know the differences until I saw your video. I'm not crazy about the s281 badges on both front fenders, they seem to be deteriorating. Sees very little sun. Not sure why. Have you noticed?
Yeah that is pretty crazy lol...I really like the mach 1 style but more so lowered 2 inches with wide 17s or 18s. I think the terminator is amazing looking but the saleen barely edges it out in terms of looks on the exterior I would like to have a black 04 saleen cobra...they have the interior and driveline of a terminator with the exterior looks breaking and handling of the saleen...amazing cars but super rare
I've had to call out a few "clones" at shows before, I understand that the parts are available from Saleen to basically build your own, but I do take issue when someone tries to pass off a clone as an actual Saleen. The sad part is that most judges at Mustang/Shelby shows don't know how to distinguish a clone from the real thing. I've had this happen with my 2 Saleens, #89-699 Black hatchback and #95-099 Laser Red S-351 coupe, great cars, both of them.
Cool review, never heard of a Saleen Cobra, I'll have to get a third Newedge to complete my Terminator collection, got a 03' & 04' coupe' and convertible. Have to do some research, I wonder what mods are there, they're really fast stock.
Imagine having these already and not knowing about them😂I’m addicted to new edges sorry not just mustangs in general the Roush and bullitt in 05-09 was cool af as well
@@busystuff23yearsago15 New Edge Mustang's, with the added ground effects like a SALEEN or ROUSH, is perfection, these Mustang's are not too big, not too small, proverbial best size "pocket rockets" the SALEEN SPEEDSTER that I have, is my favorite summer cruiser, could not find a 03 or 04 COBRA TERMINATOR SALEEN, at a reasonable cost, very rare......
racinjason88 so even tho they are 2v engines they are pushing 425 ? More then the terminator ? I found a supercharged well kept one but it had 8 previous owners but it only has 50k miles
Out of every Saleen owner I've ever met at meets, every one of them besides maybe 2 have said SAYLEEN including me. I know how it's pronounced but everyone refers to them as SAYLEENS. Kind of like how people say Louivull, Louieville, and Lewisville.
if it has a nice set of wheels and is lowered or at least lowered on stock wheels with some tint I can see it being pretty close but there's no question in my opinion the saline looks better stock for stock they also handle better they did make 0304 Terminator Saleen they are just very rare as are all Saleen cobras they made them between 1996 and 2004 they were simply cobras that were turned into saleen's versus the GT like on most saleen's. the cobra ones had a cobra driveline cobra interior and had saleen exterior mods brakes and suspension imo it's the perfect storm
I had a girlfriend who had a 5speed gt and hers had a saleen wing.. me being a Chevy and Bimmer guy I didn't know what it was I beg to take it off for her until a mustang guy told me what it was a gas station. Cool vid btw!
HEYNOW ~ Cool Video : when this model type came out, thought ford made this for women butt the people at SALEEN never disappoint : looks incredible ‼️ haven’t seen a mustang SALEEN that I wouldn’t buy .....

@@kevinerickson8029 I don't care there was no saleen mustang's in 1973 that started in 1984 when he actually started modifying stock mustang's and selling them as saleen mustang's so since it started on 1984 your comment of you wanted a saleen mustang since 1973 doesn't make any sense
The motor is no different on the S281(my car) vs a GT other than Saleen underdrive pullies. The S281SC's have a supercharger on top of the stock GT motor.
in 99-00 they had the m90 blower and 350 horses they had the saleen series 4 supercharger in 03-04 they had 375 hp. not sure ebout 01-02 they were eithee like one of those 2 above or slightly diff than both. I'm thinking they had 365 hp.
You got so lucky they upgraded that to the E version I had A s281 put 3 engines in the car yes I drove it hard but still should have not broke like that When I sold it had less than a 8000 miles on it

Or buy 1 of the rare 03/04 saleen cobras only 13 were produced i believe but they are awesome cars saleen started off with the terminator cobra which is already a perfect car that is way ahead of it's time and they upgraded it a lot of people don't want to admit the saleen cobras were superior to the regular cobras maybe because they don't want the saleen version to steal the limelight the facts are yes the Saleen/Cobra was a lot better but at the same time it kind of wasn't better overall the reason i say that is due to it costing more than double the price of a regular terminator you could buy a cobra and upgrade it yourself for way less money mainly if you were one of the lucky people to get 1 of the 13 ever made you got a highly collectable car that will only become more valuable as time goes on in the next 20 years I bet they will triple in value for me it Would be very cool to own 1 of them only a select few would have the opportunity and a ford cobra would be a lot more practical and the same amount fun all of the saleen mustang are overpriced for what they offer the base s821 cost more than a cobra did brand new and the cobra was all around better and faster as the base models were basically just tuned gt's i think they only had 285 horses owning a saleen is more about the name for sure both the svt cobras and saleen stangs are equally as cool in their own way and it comes down to what the person would prefer
Havent done my homework lol My uncle owns Dayton 5.0 performance aka (Dayton performance now) been on pinks and all kinds of shit not only that but ive owned bout 15 foxs 2 mystic chrome cobras and a NA saleen s281 . Funny when ppl like u think they know what they are talking about goto FB to the terminator group tons of them selling for 12-20k LMAO By the way uncles name is mike reyes if u want to do a little research can u guess where i work ? lol How many 5.0s ,4.6s have u built or stroked or balanced and blue printed or decked exactly maybe u should look up who my dad is also Eddie Flora . #Clueless #GoDoYourHomeWork
Yeah when your shop is on pinks let me know . When u build or stroke balance blue print deck and hone your first motor let me know . How many 4.6s have u stroked to a 302 xD We see more termis and roushes and steedas then saleens But yeah your right the guy whos worked at a mustang performance shop thats been on pinks 2x has no clue on what they are talking about after 8 yrs of being here . I owned cars at 16 would eat your pos saleen 331 stroked Lx's, 347 stroked GTs. Like stated junk ass pieces of shit even if its a S351 even then wo stroking them to a 408 or 427 . or slapping a kennebell or Whipple SC on them but yeah i have no clue .
ffs. that is a spoiler. not a wing. a wing would allow air to flow under and above it. a spoiler like the one on this car does not allow air to flow under the spoiler between the trunk lid and the bottom of the spoiler because it does not have a gap and is connected to the trunk lid. i know that is a simple and somewhat dumb thing to point out but if you're going to post videos like this on the internet and claim to to have any idea what ur talking about then understanding the very basics is a good start. cool car though. that body style mustang was never my favorite. the interior on these are so basic it feels like the cheapest car ever sitting in any trim package imo
Most people know what someone is saying when they say wing and don’t get super analytical about it. The same goes for wheels/rims. However, the video is to explain the differences in New Edge cars.
Im a chevy guy and the saleen and cobra terminator are so cool they get everything right

it was a cobra R not a saleen

Was a Cobra R

Need 1 of these for a weekend car. Best looking mustang
GREAT INFORMATION!!! I would love to own a Saleen! One day……. 🙏🏽😉
Dont forget the Hood scoop on saleens have an insert on most
I know i was just saying 😀👌 that one gt hoods not all had the insert
The terminator mirrors do seem to fit the car better than the stock ones.
beautiful vehicle you’ve got there, from one marylander to another
The only time i saw a saleen was in 2 fast 2 furious
Same😂
Great info. I love Mustang knowledge. 👍🏻
Nice video....I have a 2001 SC in Oxford White one of 243 made in 2001.

Yes, that happens a lot. Saleen parts were not always the best quality and need to be replaced a bit.
Call me crazy but my favorite is the gt look over the saleen n cobra
Yeah that is pretty crazy lol...I really like the mach 1 style but more so lowered 2 inches with wide 17s or 18s. I think the terminator is amazing looking but the saleen barely edges it out in terms of looks on the exterior I would like to have a black 04 saleen cobra...they have the interior and driveline of a terminator with the exterior looks breaking and handling of the saleen...amazing cars but super rare
The most slept on is the Roush >>
Looking good very good it looks better than the brand new cars

Depends on the shape or if it’s been stored

Are the Saleen sc motors forged at all??
They are all stock Ford motors except for the Extreme.
Okay thank for replying so fast. I just recently got into the saleens and am looking to buy one. They are very hard to find tho. Thanks again!

What’s the stock HP of the saleen this year?

@@heavychevyss2784 that’s typical. People buy but don’t want to daily then sell cause not driving it
I liked this video because of your great explanation.. I subscribed because you can say “Saleen” correctly!

Does the saleen front bumper fit on the new edge???
Yes…😂 it’s a new edge as well so
That is a spoiler not a wing
FileExplorer different terminology but same thing
generally spoilers are raised from body, and wings are flush attached
04dram04 actually no. If you can get your head under the “spoiler” it’s a wing. If it’s flushed to the body it’s a spoiler.
What year is this saleen
Love the autograph
The Saleen is nice but I like the cobra better. I think the cobra looks cooler
