I didn't watch the vid (56k) so I didn't see the Saleen but the last time I checked, which was a few years ago, the Saleen S351 had a supercharged 351 and made 495hp. I think they stopped making the S351 a year or 2 ago.

Holy ******* god. I did a google search to discredit you, but you're actually right! The saleen in this video is a newer model. Holy mother of god, how have I never heard of the Saleen S351????

They are sweet cars. I only wish I had the money to buy one. I think the price on one of those was $50,000 or something like that. But thats not bad since it is supposed to be faster than a viper.

Hahaha, yea I hear ya... Actually I think I was reading something about the SVT Mustang (at least i think that was the car) how the goal was to be able to do like 300 or 900 or something drag launches without clutch failure, and the engineers stopped at like 600 because they got tired or something. It's apparently one tough cookie.
