Go buy an '03 Cobra.
But then again, you have to ask yourself, is a Saleen a "stock" Mustang? :)

If Ford warranties it, it is.

You can't afford the fastest Mustang on earth. Why is it so important anyways?
He said STOCK

2000 | Cobra R or the 2003 cobra | | |Bullwash Stock, means off the assembly line... not after a detour to Saleen.

Sorry, Kate. Technically Saleen is considered a manufacturer. So that means his Saleen Mustangs are consider "stock" Mustangs.

Let's get technical. Saleen doesn't sell a Mustang. They sell an S281 and an S281-E. Nowhere in the descriptions of these cars do they say Mustang, so by my interpretation...they're out of the running. lol
Why do you assume he can not afford the fastest stock mustang?

Whoa. NoOp Patrick is THE LAST person I'd ever have expected to be this expansive about the definition of "stock." What about those "ringer" test cars from the '60's -- weren't they all the products of "manufacturers"? (Go ahead, anybody, Google search Author "NoOp" and Word "ringer" and see how many hits you get.) For that matter, isn't it your position that just adding slapper bars and slicks and rejetting and recurving takes a car out of stock? This looks like a full-on "gotcha" to me!

Sorry it was a snide comment. I deliberately didn't state stock Mustang. I stated "fastest" Mustang based on an article I just read about a guy who put a bell helicopter jet engine in a Mustang. Asking price is 165K and he plans on building them for resale. There is also a jet bike that goes for 185k. Jay Leno has one.
As an aside I find posts like that one semi-annoying. Perhaps I know what I buy and why I want it and that's why. I am really interested in why he thinks he needs to have the "fastest" Mustang on earth when it can be a rather subjective term when you add in driver qualities.
Perhaps he just wants something for bragging rights. I got over that a long time ago.
the word "stock" is slang when used in automotive terms. I believe the correct word is "original" ! ......just for fun look up the word stock.

Moo
Zomby,
That makes sense...now you have explained what you meant I understand where you were comming from...Jet engine on a stang huh? Could you post a link so I could read it...
LOL, Now I wonder how the words "Stock Car" racing came to be?
Ahh, Saleen MAY be considered a "manufacturer", but they are not Ford - the car never left a Ford manufacturing plant in the condition it left Saleen's plant in.

Hehehehehe, ROFLMAO - I didn't even think of it from that point :)
