Unhappy Can't figure out if it's a real Saleen, help!

I'm new to the Saleen world. I have found a 2004 Saleen (so it says) at a dealership but I'm skeptical. It says it's only got 290hp. I thought the Saleens were at least 445 starting? Can someone please advise?
The dealership isn't even advertising it as a Saleen, yet I saw the car tonight and it has Saleen written all over it, literally. I am starting to wonder if the specs for this car are wrong. But it visibly looked exactly like a 2004 S281 (E or SC I don't know?).
