The neat thing with the S351 cars, it's a great stand alone car that also offers "specialty features" seen with the earlier SSC, SC, FOX cars etc etc.

Also, the first regular production drivetrain transplant car. A top-to-bottom complete Saleen touched vehicle.

As a side note about fuel mileage... I'll have to check with the folks, but with 3.08:1 gears the black '95 was getting crazy mileage on the road trip to Atco, NJ. No gulping, just sipping.

Someone in my age bracket can remember that these seemed to be from another planet when they were new. They were like seeing a F355 Ferrari.

Consider the current asking prices for 1995 and 2000 Cobra Rs... the S351s look like fun. With A/C and a radio to boot.

These were the first two S351s I saw in person... I was in high school. I still have the dealer correspondence and sales material from an inquiry made when they were delivered.
