I was at Myrtle Beach this year and i was just cruizin down kings highway when a 98 S281 Saleen pulls up beside me. So of course i drive "that annoying import" so i bucked at him. He started talkin all sorts of shit saying he was going to shit all over me (his girl was in the car with him). So we end up catching a light. we race i have him 2 cars off the line, I drive like a moron and miss second. by the time i have it in 2nd he has caught up and pulled me 3/4 of a car. but then the immediate walk down and shit on by the end of 3rd gear i had him by 3 cars. Dam that was the greatest feeling in the world:greenchai

Hey bro. No offense but there is no way that you could have even come close to an s281. If you only run a 13.6 in the 1/4 than you will have trouble with me. Just to give you an idea. I run a stock 13.9 I now have a little bit of mods and would be around a 13.7 now with only the mods in the sig. If I was blown than I could probably run a 12.0 flat. Those stangs have a smaller motor than me but if they are blown than there is no way you could have beat him.

Actually, you're wrong...The s281SC averages a 13.4 quarter. They have 365hp and could run a quicker quarter, but for their horrible dyno curves. I love the car, especially the exterior styling, they just need to get some things sorted out and it would be a monster. Either way, definatelty beatable by a car that runs a 13.6 quarter.

hey if you read it was on street tires when the tires stopped spinning my car takes off. Yes now it is slow because i have no more rings but i have raced a mustang that dynoed 386rwhp with 553 ftlbs of torque from 50 to 120 and it only pulled me 2 cars. when i had rings if i had clutch LSD and slicks my car could have easily ran 12's

Nice kill. That stang should have given you a better run then that. The guy driving it was a moron and deserved the loss. Well done!

You do no that most of the s281 are not superchrged? Its an option on the saleens that only a very small percentage check off. The non supercharged versions only have some great supension and brakes as well as some very minor engine mods like pullies.

kidrocket · #8 09-23-2002, 07:15 PM

well, was it an S281 or an S281SC? the S281 is like 285 hp it has like intake and a pulley or something

94svt5.0 · #9 09-23-2002, 07:52 PM

There is no way to tell from the outside. The badging is the same, s281. Got to look under the hood.

blowngsr · #10 09-23-2002, 08:35 PM

i dont know about that s281 bu i have raced the new body style sc w/ nos and he pulled me a car from 50 to 100

BlkCamaroSS · #11 09-23-2002, 08:45 PM

This does seem like a stretch, but congrats go out to anyone that runs an SC car and doesn't get fucked.

Too many things don't jive...

hahaha, s281sc is kinda slow, at least the few I had raced in my Z, hell, I think a good driver in a ls1 could take one.

Your saying a newer body GT only pulled a carlength from 50-100? And your best time is a 13.4? A new GT with just a couple bolt ons and slicks run close to that. A supercharger adds around 90-100 hp, depending on set up and Nitrous would probably be at least a 75-100 shot. You would never even come close to it, unless driver error on the part of the mustang.

BlkCamaroSS · #14 09-23-2002, 10:36 PM

I bet you raced a Faleen, someone who bought all of the Saleen stuff and put it on their V6. It's been done. Plus, you said you missed a shift. It's very, very improbable that you'd catch up and then beat anything else that was SC'd as well, especially a torqued up 281SC.

blowngsr · #15 09-23-2002, 11:36 PM

you dont have to believe me it doesnt really matter to me i know what happend and so do my witnesses. the only reason i posted this thread was because i saw it sayed beat a mustang? so i wanted to say my racing experience with a mustang you may think i am one of those people who gets online and starts shooting off all this bullshit like i have a civic with30psi and nos that runs 9.2@140. im not personally i hate those people. I just wanted to give inspiration to fellow 4 cyl that you win against the odds. any way if it may float your boat when i raced the saleen w/ nos we both had detonation problems maybe his were worse than mine. Plus by know means i mean to sound cocky by saying this but i know i am a very good driver (in a straight line) hehe i know about feathering double clutching, powershifting and shifting in my power band. maybe the should have destroyed me and i just out drove him maybe not. this brings me to quote one of the most un realistic movies i have ever seen and i quote "It doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning" not to say i have any thing against mustangs personally i have more fun driving them because their torque and it is fun to slam 2nd and kick the ass end out. so pretty much if you dont believe me i dont care but i know what happened and no niether were v-6's my moms mini van could pull those sorry excuse for a car. well any ways have fun telling me i am full of shit and to those who read it for what it is and congradualate me "this is for my boys in da drop top":smoker2:
