98 Saleen Cobra said:Hey everyone I've been curious ever since I read say that ad on ebay for that 1998 saleen cobra... Did they come factory supercharged from saleen in 98? And if so what was there origanal power at?? Thanks
Apollo 13 said:I have a 98 Saleen Cobra, #141. Its supercharged. According to Liz, my car has every option, including the Vortech which was ordered with the car.
My understanding is, you could order the Supercharger as an option but it was installed by a local Ford dealer, not Saleen.
The Ebay car is showing the supercharger on the window sticker from Saleen.
This same ad says its the last one built yet its #96. The ship date was 6/98. My car, #141 was shipped 8/98. I assume car numbers are in order somewhat of the build dates.
I don't claim to be an expert. Just throwing in my 2 cents.
s351rspeedster said:Apollo13 is correct. You could pay the money to Saleen for the blower but they couldn't install the blower on the factory floor due to the EPA/CARB issue. It was the same with the Explorer XP8's......Our XP8 has the crappy Powerdyne factory installed blower. Not sure where it was installed but I know Saleen wasn't allowed to do it in Irvine. That is the first time I have heard it being on the window sticker thoughI guess you learn something new everyday................
By the way, I need everyone to check their magazine collection from back in late 97 through early 99 for any articles featuring our XP8. It won't be hard to miss, white with white wheels car #01
Here is a terrible picture of it, sorry but I am not on the computer where the pictures we took are on. This is the best one I could find on the net. Please let me know if you find it and which issue it is so I can lay my hands on a few copies. I know it was featured in many mag's since it was the prototype XP8

It's a good thing they have not made a white S7 yet or we would hear about the string of bank robberies in the Anaheim area.Well, there are a few S7R's around though.
