When Saleen (the company) turned 25 in 2008, it produced limited-edition Mustangs to commemorate its Silver Anniversary. Twenty-five Sterling Edition S302E (E for Extreme) Saleen Mustangs were built, plus one special”DR” drag race package, taking the 26th spot.

After the Sterling Edition appearance package was added by Saleen Speed Lab, A high performance JDM 298ci was dropped in. The power plant is fortified with a forged-steel crankshaft, and JDM-spec Manley rods and pistons, which produce 9.8:1 compression under the JDM/M2 Race Systems CNC-ported Three-Valve cylinder heads.

The intake charge a Saleen twin-screw supercharger with 17psi and separate cooling system.

American Racing headers into a 3 inc. H-pipe Saleen exhaust. Dyno at 708rwhp with 697 nlb-ft torque.

This is the only Sterling Edition built with a tuned 5 speed automatic transmission with a 2,500-stall Precision Industries torque converter. Spins an aluminum drive shaft, which links to an 8.8-rearend housing with 4.30 gears, along with Strange spool and axles.

To ensure traction, Saleen struts and springs support the nose, while BMR K-member cradles the engine. Saleen shocks and springs hold up the rear, and a BMR anti-roll keeps the car level. Bogart wheels and Mickey Thompson sit on all 4 corners.

This car was prepared as if for show, but with plenty of go. it does see some road use but more fun on the strip.
