This smooth S197 is all beefed up with 302 ci powerplant, making the car reach 60 km/ph in just a remarkable 4 seconds! It generates a tough 620 horsepower over 600 lb-ft of torque—this baby will not let you down when you are in the climax of your speed. But, this beauty is not all about that speed factor (although admittedly it created a lot of buzz). The Saleen 302E is voted as the “sharpest” Ford Mustang that the world of performance parts is yet to see.

E definitely screams “extreme” in this Saleen Mustang. Its high-quality suspension system will allow the S302 to reach the extreme levels of racecar experience. With an enhanced 6-inch piston caliper and a 15-inch braking system will allow the needed smooth stop when you need to tame its 620 horses.

Of course, along with this high-powered vehicle is a piercing tag price. A little under the $80,000-mark can assure one that they can experience power and performance right in their hands. Mustang always gets a high demand from car enthusiasts that it gets to raise its price even if people do not want to. (Nevertheless, they still go for this steed anyway.) Production is set to begin this December, which is why enthusiasts are biting their nails already just to get a hold of this car.
