Aside from the S7, of course.
And the S281E which is pretty quick, but it should be for the $40K+ sticker. I like the Saleen Mustangs but they're just not worth the money and you can build a faster, better handling car for less.

IT comes with all the hardware for the NOS except the N2"WHOA" in the bottle. So they are pretty much teasing these "poor" Ford owners, cause they will probably blow the warranty when they install it.

It seems very strange that Saleen, from Irvine, California is producing a car with the most illegal upgrade possible to be busted with in Cali..

I was under the impression that most supercharged cars could not run nos because it cannot pass through the supercharger witout causing long term damage.

If you run a centrifugal supercharger then the nitrous is plumbed in after the head unit so it never touches the supercharger. If you run a roots type supercharger then that generally replaces your intake so a direct port system is the best option.

Try $60K.

$40K gets you a 285 HP S281, the 425 HP S281E is $60K.

It was in Import Tuner I think a couple months back ( the cover had a hot chick on it and it said "IS IT LEGAL??" and they did a feature on products that we 50 state legal and Nitrous Oxide from NOS and Edelbrock were in there as being 50 state LEGAL!! I always thought that it was illegal too but then I saw that, Now I'm confused
I wonder if they give you a sticker or something stating that it is legal to use when you buy it??

The system might be legal, but actually having an open bottle of N2O connected to it may not be. Semantics, yes, but important if you're considering putting nitrous in your car.
