Its a Saleen 302, not a Ford 4.6. Same basic engine design, but fully forged internals and Saleen aluminum ported and polished race heads. I got to drive the '07 550hp version and man that thing was quick. Its about 250 pounds lighter than a GT due to all light weight body panels and carbon fibre front and rear air diffusers. Six piston 15" front brakes stop it nice and quick. The twin intercooled screwcharger makes for good power while keeping the intake charge nice and cool, and because Saleen built a solid motor, you can mod it without having to worry about blowing it up.
