91-0012SC: DOIN’ WHAT THEY DO BEST

Pretty cool!

Along with dirt track racing, multiple Budlong built engines run at drag strips throughout the Southwest. One particular engine, a Ford 5.0L engine was stroked to 331 cubic inches of displacement. This turbocharged engine, living in the Ford Mustang of Anthony D.ckson, created nearly 1,600 horsepower and ran 7.96 at 183 miles per hour!

UPDATE: H281 07-0001

Here’s a brief update on the 2007 H281 press car and production #01. [Previous Post]

Pat completed a Saleen Supercharger install with Brenspeed Stage III upgrade.

He also returned the trunk mounted “SALEEN” letters, added a Ford GT ignition push start, and went with a CDC 2nd series Glassback top.

The red valve covers pop and the engine call-outs on the hood have a nice modern throwback look.

Cheers Pat!

SHOW CAR: RACE IS ON FOR THREE GENERATIONS

Original Article: ADVERTISER, THE (ADELAIDE)

The Sporting Car Club of SA’s Peter Lehmann Wines SA Hillclimb Championship is on this weekend and three generations of an Adelaide family are lining up for the event.

Grandfather Tony Day, 61, will be competing in a Ford Mustang Saleen, his 38-year-old son Sean will be driving a two-door Subaru WRX STi and Sean’s son Daniel Day – a two-year motorkhana veteran – will be driving a rear-drive Toyota Corolla twin-cam, aged 14.

“It’s really good to have three generations involved, Dad is right into the Fords,” Sean Day said.

Defending champ Peter Gumley will be back from NSW in his purpose-built Wortmeyer SCV hillclimb vehicle which holds the outright course record at 29.64 seconds. Among the 90-plus entries are local drivers Andrew Mitchell in a turbocharged Shrike, and Andy Ford’s Reynard Honda open-wheeler.

The two-day event takes place on the Collingrove Hillclimb circuit, 9km south of Angaston on the Eden Valley Rd. Competition commences at 9.45am today and tomorrow; admission is $20 per car or $10 per person.

SALEEN DARK HORSE

Yet Another Limited-Edition Mustang

Despite numerous executive departures from Saleen in the last month or two, the company is still making new products. This one could be the last special-edition Mustang… until the reskinned, reengineered 2010 Mustang debuts at the Los Angeles auto show in November with a corral full of them.

The Saleen Dark Horse Extreme Edition follows on the heels-or is it the hooves?-of the Sterling Edition and Gurney Signature Edition Mustangs from Saleen. The Dark Horse offers the same impressive supercharged 620 hp as the Sterling, but comes wrapped in its own sinister black exterior. Under the SuperShaker hood scoop is a 302-cubic-inch Ford V8 with Saleen port-matched Series VI integrated screw-type supercharger, forged-aluminum pistons, forged-steel connecting rods and a forged-steel crank. The hood scoop supposedly delivers 0.5 psi of boost all by itself.

Saleen will make only 25 Dark Horses, as many as five of which will be convertibles. Sticker price is $89,995. They go into production in November, with sales starting that same month.

If you don’t have $90,000 of disposable income, consider Saleen’s Racecraft division. A Racecraft 420S offers 420 hp and a few other amenities for “just” $38,000.

Even more affordable will be the coming Racecraft Focus, expected shortly after the new production Ford Focus debuts in 2010. The Racecraft version will come in a normally aspirated version with handling and cosmetic improvements for $20,199, while the turbocharged version will offer “between 200 hp and 250 hp” for between $23,000 and $24,000. Production plans call for 50 to 75 a month, all of them 50-states legal.

HEY, COP THIS BEWDY… IT’LL TRANSFORM THE STREET TORQUE

By: STEVE SPINKS on November 3, 2008
Original Article: GOLD COAST BULLETIN, THE

A touch of Hollywood will help ‘transform’ Parklands Showgrounds at the weekend for the 14th Street Torque spectacular.

A replica police patrol car from the 2007 box office smash movie Transformers will be on show as the official Nikon Indy 300 off-track event kickstarts a month of motoring.

The car is owned by Victorian Craig Dean, the Australian importer of Ford Mustangs.

He transformed a Mustang Saleen S281 Extreme into a replica of the bad Decepticon robot Barricade from the hit movie.

After racing the Saleen at the Targa Tasmania, Mr Dean lent the car to Street Torque event director Ian Badock.

“It’s a fuel-injected V8 with 411kw of power,” said Mr Badock. “It will be on display at Street Torque and will be at Indy as well.”

The replica will be one of hundreds of cars on show at the event, expected to draw 8000 people.

The event includes motocross, kart and Harley chopper displays and the toughest burnout cars ever to enter Street Torque.

The Stadium Drift Pro Show is expected to be the highlight event.

“The drift series gets the most unbelievable response and is very popular, especially with 15 to 18-year-olds,” said Mr Badock.

Another highlight will be a run by the Northern Territory’s Mad Ron in his jet truck.
