It's barely been a week since we brought you our first drive of Ford's rather delightful new Mustang. And here we are staring down the high-performance exhaust of a tuned 640bhp version.
Well, that's if you plump for the ‘Yellow' or ‘Black Label' Mustangs. Saleen has finalised the details of its new, tuned ‘302', and it comes in three specs.
All three feature the 5.0-litre V8 - naturally - with the base ‘White Label' car packing a healthy 450 naturally-aspirated horses. Step up to the Yellow/Black Label cars however, and you get more.
Specifically, a socking great Saleen supercharger with low pressure drop intercoolers. This handily boosts power to an even healthier 640bhp and 565lb ft of torque, comfortably eclipsing Ford's original spec (435bhp and 400lb ft).
There is no 0-62mph figure stated, but we are treated to some more detail on the tuning involved. There's a better engine oil cooler, aforementioned high-performance exhaust with a performance backbox, a Saleen short-throw shifter (for the manual version, naturally), and Saleen's own recalibration of the engine software.
Things like high performance air filters, better fuel injectors, a limited slip diff, new front and rear springs (and shocks/sway bars for the ‘Black'), better pivot bushings and the option of fully adjustable coilovers also appear.
The tyres are faster. The brakes are bigger (13.9in). The alloys are bigger (20in). And, um, silver-er. There's all sorts of external bodywork that is too exhaustive to list, but can be viewed on this spec sheet Saleen has released.
The company is currently taking orders for this tuned ‘Stang, and all you have to do is drop a deposit of $2,015 (take a guess why it's exactly that much). What do you reckon, Internetters?
