    The Saleen S281 4.6-liter, three-valve supercharged coupe with the V8 engine gets bumped to 435 horsepower for the 2006 model year, an increase of 35 hp over the 2005 model, the company said Wednesday.
    The 2006 Saleen S281 3 Valve's 4.6-liter, single-overhead-cam V8 makes 330 hp, an increase of 5 horsepower over the previous model.

    The Saleen 281 with the Racecraft suspension has a base price of $42,281. The S281 supercharged coupe is priced at $51,102 and the S281 supercharged convertible starts at $55,989, the specialty manufacturer said.

    The company also has introduced its 2006 "cool tops" line, including the 2006 Saleen Speedster, which is equipped with a sport bar and a tonneau. It will be available by November. The 2006 S281 coupe can be equipped with the new Saleen "scenic roof," a moonroof that extends from the windshield to the back window. That will be in production by January, the company said.

    Thats hot, kinda like the JDM CRXs with the glass roofs.

    I'm a Ford guy but unless they make the driving position a little better and make some more legroom I wont be driving any mustangs.

    Looks great!

    Yeah, I removed the other models, figured if it was not subaru related it could just go in off topic. I'll move this there now.

    Summers would be deadly, but that is hot. They used to do that with Vettes.

    I have a tough time justifying that price. That is one expensive Mustang.
