Default Saw a Saleen S281 Extreme today

Well, I got to see one up close and personal. It was a Screaming Yellow
2006 S281 Extreme. Forged internals and making more boost than the S281
S/C. It has 20" wheels with 15" brake rotors and 6 piston calipers. It
also has some carbon fiber pieces on the front and rear valence that
were very nice. Advertised at 550 bhp and 500 ft-lbs of torque.

The $72,000 price tag made me shudder a tad . Man, put one of
Saleen's pricier paints on that thing and you got yourself an $80,000+
Mustang. Ouch .

Come on Ford. Get the Boss 330 out there .

For $72k, why not just get in line for a Viper or a GT500 if you can
find one?

I agree - the Boss 330 would be awesome. But I think it'll be a long
time before we see a production version in the real world..
