I have this in my shop and figured many people would be interested. This is the "hero" car used for the race scene in the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious and a Press/R&D car bought by Saleen originally to build the 2002-2004 Saleen Extremes. In one of the pictures below is a picture of the LoA from Saleen. This car is extremely nice and a cool car to have. Below is the wordage from the ad on the car.
Year: 2001
Make/Model: Ford Mustang Saleen SC281E
Transmission - 5spd
Engine: 281 2v
Mileage - 12,159
Price : $24,900 OBO

2001 Saleen 281SC Extreme "Fast and Furious" Movie Car from 2Fast2Furious. Since its debut in 1996 the Saleen Mustang S281 has been the flagship of the Saleen line of specially modified custom automobiles, making it ideal for a role in the movie “2 Fast 2 Furious”, the second installment in the hit “Fast and Furious” movie series. The car was originally manufactured by Saleen for R&D on the new “Extreme” model that was slated for production beginning in 2002. It was originally painted “Speedlab Yellow”, a Saleen custom color, and then numbered 02-0002E for use as a Saleen press vehicle. After its tour, it was one of three Saleens remanufactured for Universal Studios for use in “2 Fast 2 Furious” and repainted Lizstick Red by Saleen. The roll bar, camera mounts and “Year One” log on the back window were installed by Universal Studios. At the completion of filming the cars were returned to Saleen. This 11,995 mile S281 sports Ford’s versatile 4.6L SOHC V-8 with special fuel calibration, underdrive pulleys and a performance exhaust system that gives the S281 its authoritative roar at full throttle. Upgraded with a Saleen Series IV Lysholm twin screw supercharger and 2½ -inch exhaust, the car cranks out over 350 HP with the attached power flash, an almost 100 HP increase over the naturally aspirated version; behind that is a quick-shifting 6-speed manual and heavy duty rear end. The chassis is equal to the task of making that power work, with Saleen Racecraft suspension, 18-inch wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires and slotted and vented 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. As with all Saleens, this excellent example features an engine bay plaque and serialized console plaque that verify its authenticity as a true Saleen vehicle. It is also listed in the Saleen Registry and documented with a letter from Saleen chronicling the car’s history and use.
Car has been checked out, tune wise, by Bob @ Kurgan Motorsports. Car made 291/330 to the rollers. Bob said the car ran great on the dyno and he did not feel/see/hear any issues with the car mechanically. I have personally driven the car about 150 miles and it drives like a charm. Paint has a few rock chips on the front bumper.
