Saleen?

93HatchsBFF · August 10th, 2008, 12:14 PM

so i was wondering whats the difference between Saleen and mach 1 and cobras?
i new mach 1 is just a termi non S/C and cobra is S/C whats saleen just a body kit?

MyGT · August 10th, 2008, 12:24 PM

2v vs. 4v unless you're talking about the few saleen cobras. Depending on what edition saleen you get it can range from a body kit, suspension, exhaust to the addition of a roots blower. Saleen's are generally 2vs while the machs and cobras are of course 4vs.

Both the mach and saleen have a solid rear axle.

This explanation could turn into a novel.....lol

yeah this topic can go on and on, just do some searching on google or something.

mpboy · August 10th, 2008, 12:26 PM

saleen cobra?? they make those?? linky please. or is it just a cobra with a saleen body kit?

06RedfireGT · August 10th, 2008, 12:28 PM

Most of the Saleen cars were body kit, suspension and interior. If you got the S281 supercharged then you got a shitty roots blower. All of them were 2Vs but I think there was a limited number of Saleen Cobras, or maybe Roush. I don't remember.

Also the Mach and termie motors are much different.

Machs have an aluminum, higher compression, non-forged (manuals have a forged crank), and are n/a stock.

Termies have an iron block, lower boost friendly compression, forged internals, and stock blower.

4v....FTW

i would take a NA 4v over a blown 2v anyday

93HatchsBFF · August 10th, 2008, 02:16 PM

so would the mach be much better with a blower?
but makes sense i always see a saleen around my house and i was always wondering whats the difference?

mrbigjeep · August 10th, 2008, 02:45 PM

yeah i saw a supercharged saleen the other day...said s281 supercharged on the back. looked pretty good

yes the mach would be much better with a blower

93HatchsBFF · August 10th, 2008, 03:22 PM

damn thats freaken sick!!!
how much faster would it be then a stock termi?

93HatchsBFF · August 10th, 2008, 03:27 PM

so what even with the same S/C as the termi on a mach the mach would still be faster?

actually man... no it wouldnt... the compression is much to high to run over 8psi safely on pump gas. The Termi's have much lower compression to be able to handle much boost and still be street gas friendly.

Lower compression = more boost capabilities

Higher compression = better nitrous response.

93HatchsBFF · August 10th, 2008, 03:35 PM

so you would have to run like race gas?
i saw this mach1 at the track and the S/C was screamin down the track low 11s FTW

Yeah... either an ethonol conversion kit or 110 octane race gas.

93HatchsBFF · August 10th, 2008, 03:40 PM

DAMN!!! lol just a lil expensive to fil up now i bet haha
the only place i know they sell that is when you enter the track

an ethenol conversion kit will only set you back about 300-400... if im not mistaken... i believe ethenol is about 108 octane

93HatchsBFF · August 10th, 2008, 03:49 PM

holy crap yeah for that coversion kit and how much the gas cost i would rather just buy a termi

mustangmanic · August 10th, 2008, 03:53 PM

no man... ethenol is cheaper than regular gas. its 85% alcohol and 15% gas.... its what all the new cars have options of running on. Its worth it if you want ALOT of power along with cheap gas.

You dont get as good MPG, but who cares about that if you have a high hp car..

and idk why you're complaining about gas... u bought a v8, shoulda thought about that before you bought a mustang haha.

yes very valid point.. ill retract my statement, wasn't really sure what the CR was on a mach1. just stop the talking and get a termi....
