Need info. on the 1997 Saleen Mustang GT 5.0

Dom · 01-14-2003

OK, my firend bought a 1997 Mustang Saleen G.T. 5.0 with 400 miles on it for $500.00 because he's nieghbor didn't want it anymore. [Lucky him.]

I finnally conviced him to hot rod it up. So far he has put a 50 shot N.O.S. system in it. So, he's gonna bring it over to my house and we're gonna work on it some more. He said he has $4,000.00 to invest in it. So being more of a classic Mustang guy, I need a crash course on this car.

Hey, if my dad likes it enough he might buy it for me!

I have not the slightest clue how he bought a Saleen for $500.00. Also the '97 has a 4.6 V8 not a 5.0 unless someone did a swap on it. Also you shouldn't really need to "hod rod" a Saleen. I would really watch out on this one.

Yea, but.....you know. Don't want anyone gettin' up on us.

The funny part was today in our English Class said he has a stock Altima that could be him.

I obviously need to move into your friend's neighborhood.

I don't believe him. He just stripped all the "goodies" [50 Shot NOS System, 1000 Watt Sound System, and a Custom rear bench he has the NOS in] out.

He says it not worth for me to buy it and to forget about it.

I'm calling BS on this guy and his "Saleen"

it's NOT a Saleen....

but gee whiz, that's a good deal on an SN95 car with a 5.0; even if I do suspect that it may be a V6-5.0 conversion.

50 Shot of NOS on a Saleen is peanuts. I dont even think you would need Nitrous for the Saleen, doesnt it already have the power??

Dom and Fast n the Furious ...anyone see a connection here?

THANK YOU!!!!!!

its only taken someone a few months to figure that out

No they did not have all that much power. Only the S351 did. Any tool that says he has a 97 Saleen Mustang with a 5.0 is an @ssclown, and needs some Ford automotive history classes, being they changed to the 4.6L in late 95.

I secound the B.S., noway, nohow.
And a 50 shot come on, try 150, 50 is for three wheelers!
