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.
Ok I was gonna get a little bent outta shape if they slapped a 302 name tag on it and it was just a suped up 4.6.
