New to the site, hope I put this in the right place.
I found a listing for a 1996 Saleen Cobra convertible S281 for what I think is a great price (maybe)...
I've done some investigating and I found a VIN decoder that tells me the VIN listed in the ad is a Saleen S281, though it's not a Cobra; that doesn't worry me much, what concerns me is the "built in nitrous" stated in the ad. The plumbing appears to be there, and there was a pic of a toggle switch and push button that may be controlling that system.
I can't find any reference to a Saleen model that was built with nitrous, so I'm assuming it's an owner mod. Not having any previous experience with nitrous use myself, I don't know if this should concern me enough to not make the purchase. What I'm worried about is damage that may have been caused from using nitrous that may not be "in my face" when I go to look at this in person.
Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks!
