    Roush saleen rip off

    If you would answer my questions I wouldn't have to assume... Again, I will ask you to re read my post. "Have you ever taken your car to the strip? Have you seen your friends 351 at the strip?" If the answer is yes I would like to hear what both parties made in stock trim as far as 1/4 times and...

    Roush saleen rip off

    :) I would have to question this. I seriously doubt you have driven more than two different 351's? It sounds to me like you are comparing your personal cobra to the 351 you supposedly raced or drove. I know your cobra is a speedster which makes it pretty heavy to begin with but are you the...

    Roush saleen rip off

    Yes, I have driven a 95 and I almost purchased a 99 S351 which I drove as well. I will say the initial torque was incredible but so was the drop in power around 4.5K rpm. Though the power was increasing to about 5.6K rpm it felt like it had stopped because the initial punch was so significant...

    Roush saleen rip off

    Have you ever raced a 351? I would hope you are doing at least high 12's with your car. Like I said earlier, the fastest time I have seen was a 12.85 from a 351. You might be surprised at what your car could do. 351's have been selling for $25K-28K (ebay/BJ) over the past month. Two years...

    Roush saleen rip off

    When I said the cobra killed the 351, E and SC I was referring to the resale value but I suppose you could reference it to their performance and potential as well. You must have one special 351. Consisder yourself lucky. I have never seen a stock 351 take out an 03/04 cobra. Sure if the cobra...

    Roush saleen rip off

    I understand the concept of depreciation on a new car but my issue is the depreciation I have seen on our used Saleens. (04 and lower) In 2003 I was looking at a 1999 911 Porsche. The average price on ebay was around $40K with less than 10K miles. Today in 2005, the average price is $39K for...

    Roush saleen rip off

    I should have been more clear... The highest biding for E's has been under $30K on ebay. ($25K-$28K) With that being said I am only familiar with one that has sold and that was for $29K. This was a friend of mine who lives here in St. Louis and tried to sell his for 7 months. My point was...

    Roush saleen rip off

    Wow, as bad as $24K sounds that seems to be the going rate on Ebay. 281E's are selling for under $30K. S351's are selling for mid 20's. I bought my 01 SC for $22.5K in November and feel I should have waited for the price to drop even more. All of the saleens have taken a major hit except for...

    Roush Hello

    My 04 saleen seats are balck with grey inserts and my passenger seat rubs as well. I just pushed the door in slightly and did the same thing to the portion of the seat that was rubbing. It's not perfect but I don't hear the sound anymore. I guess it depends how on badly yours rubs. If you find...

    Roush Supercharger and Auto Trans

    You will either need to have your shifting points changed via the ecu/tcu or a shift kit and throttle body upgrade will work as well. I had the same problem with my 350Z with the ATI procharger. My car would hit the rev limiter and then almost stall...

    Roush Thinking of Selling my saleen? some questions.

    I wish you the best of luck but I would be really surprised if you get more than $25K. The car is 5 years old, out of warranty and still has the T45 tranny. The bumper will hurt you, as well as the condition of the speedster roof. Even saleens with under 10K miles seem to have significant wear...

    Roush Saleen Need Help

    You will lose your shirt and will be driving a lesser car IMHO. I have heard nothing but issues concerning the 05's. If anything I would wait for an 06 if you really like the new body style...

    Roush What blower is on the 2003 saleen?

    I guess everything is relative. 1.475L isn't much smaller than 1.6L. But compared to 2.3L it is pretty small... By the way, there are several guys pushing over 350rwhp with the S2 blower. The highest number I have seem is 460rwhp. I'm hoping that I wont be too far behind that soon...

    Roush What blower is on the 2003 saleen?

    Thank you HP, I didn't see that information on their website. I wonder how many liters my ported S2 is? Since the eaton 110 is just over 1.8 liters, I would guess my ported blower is close to 1.5 liters or more.

    Roush What blower is on the 2003 saleen?

    So the S4 is a 1.6 liter and the S5 is a 2.3 liter. What is the S2? I want to say it is a 1.3 liter but I can't remember.

    Roush Forged Engine Break in??

    Everyone has their own method of break in. My motor is almost finished. Mine should be running in the next two weeks. Most guys run regular oil for the first 1K miles and keep it under 4K. Then at 1K add synthetic and run it however you would like. I am adding several other items at the same...

    Roush New Series I Numbers 2000 S281SC

    Those are good numbers for your mods... Another option besides KB is whipple. I plan on installing the whipple 2300 in the next year. It comes standard on the Extreme Saleen and guys have made over 500rwhp with it. A lot of 03/04 cobra guys have it as well.

    Roush 2004 281E Motors Specs?

    I'm building my 2001 281SC motor and would like to upgrade it similar to that of the 04 281E motor. Rods, pistons, crank, springs etc. I have found the specs before but I can not find them right now. Thank you in advance.

    Yes I have it but I think it would be better if you call and get it.

    Roush 97 S351 vs 03 Extreme

    My Personal rating in order: 1) Cobra Saleen 2) 2004 281 E (with 445hp) 3) S351 The value on all of these seems very low right now. If this was going to be a nice driver that you didn't want to modify, I would choose the 04 281E without a question.
