Default Uh oh..I did it again...My New 2011 SMS 302 Mustang

Uh oh..I did it again...My New 2011 SMS 302 Mustang

Check the whole thread..I have added more photos that are now too many for the first post. Hope I did ok for everyone to see whats what.

Quick Cell pics from yesterday...(added new photos and video now too) .This is the new SMS (Steve Mark Saleen) Mustang that Steve makes along with the new Challenger. Attention to detail is amazing and the exhaust tone is freakin awesome. Hoping that maybe Steve can buy his name back from his old Saleen Company since they are going out of the car making business in the 3rd 1/4 of this year.

Here are some new photos and short video - HotRodHarrys new 2011 SMS302 Buhler (Steve Mark Saleen Supercars)





















This is the highest optioned one available from SMS Supercars at this time. The supercharger option should be available for the new 302/5.0 Engine by August 2011

Hey, Harry! Congratulations!!!

That's a favorite color of mine and she looks great!

I look forward to seeing you again -- and your new SMS 302 -- next time I make it out to New Jersey!

More pics when you can get them!

Oh, and I'll get your club sticker to you as well... I'm working on a big backlog right now.

Welcome back Harry! Knew you couldn't keep away...

So, is this a case of "let the modding begin", or are you going to keep her stock for a while?

Cheers,
Chris.

Number 24 and the Experience was awesome! And the Saleman really new his stuff!! (me) LOL!! I have formed and teamed up with Buher's Performance Garage ..part of Buhler's Auto in Eatontown NJ. Taking it to the next level and what better way then with this SMS Supercar. I traded in my 2011 Black 5.0 I had since July..only 1,100 miles. But The SMS 302 was calling me sitting on the showroom floor.

So now I can sell any SMS Supercar/ Shelby GT350/ Boss 302 / 5.0 Mustangs / Challenger SRT8 392 Hemi cars...etc..and the parts for them

Thank you! Well they didnt make too many 2011's. Mine is one of the 2011 cars...number 24 in Candy Red Metallic Tint. In 2011 they came as pretty loaded high end cars. They are starting production of the new 2012's right now and I cant say...but SMS 302 cars will surprise buyers for sure......if anyone wants one..just call me. We will be ordering very soon.

This is the highest optioned one available from SMS Supercars at this time. The supercharger option should be available for the new 302/5.0 Engine by August 2011

There is no SMS 302 SC Supercharged option at this time. Trying for an August 2011 build date....so so far my SMS 302 is the highest optioned car you can get.

For 2012 there was the prospect of offering three levels of SMS 302 Mustang.

Known as...
- White Label
- Yellow Label
- Black Label

Black Label is what we saw through 2011.

White Label
is an entry-level model without the SMS body kit, interior, or wheels. This model features a foglight delete grill and trunk panel trim to eliminate the OE Ford Mustang gas cap emblem. Optional equipment is the SMS deck spoiler.

Yellow Label somewhere between the two.

White Label pictured below.

Beautiful car Harry!!!

Exhaust much nicer than my old '07 Saleen. It has a more chamber style to it; similar to my old '00 Trans Am WS.6 with Stainless Steel Works cat-back.

Dave or Harry can you answer if the White Label will have the SMS Suspension set-up? I loved the factory suspension on my '07, it had great handling, firm, but great comfort for a daily drive.

White has the S4 springs only, while the Yellow has S4 springs, struts, shocks and sway bars.

I believe the tuning and HP numbers are the same over the three lines. We'll know more when product is officially announced.

The line's are great on the new sms vehicle, specially the front, but the major improvement is the interior, I love those seats and their new upholstery.

Thanks for putting this link in the news letter guys. That is awesome guys!

I was told not to give out too much info on the white yellow and black label new SMS 302 cars until final pricing is made. It is going to be one heck of a base car that will be numbered and very affordable for others to get into one and mod as they want in time. Good move on SMS's part....now come on U.S. Economy!!

Heres some good advice from a fellow saleen owner... please take heed!

This is the absolute best time to do an spec assessment of your car. what do i mean by spec assessment, well just as the words imply. Ok long story short, getting your vehicle serviced by anyone other than a trained saleen specialist more than likely will bring frustrating results.

Saleens/SMS are specially tuned resulting in specs that are very different from other stangs, and those spec's are not carried by common auto repair shops/alignment shops even un-certified dealerships. Instead they will use whatever basic setup specs they can pull up from stock ford mustangs.

In the case of alignment that means youve gone from Saleens specific Track/circuit alignment or engine tune to something much less. and yes you will notice it. Its important to get as much detail spec information from SMS you can,you can also (in the the case of alignment) simply take your car to an alignment shop to pull the cars current alignment specs for future use (dont let them align just get the current specs). Trust me its very important.

Also take note (even mark off) the current position of your suspension CCplates. if you should ever need new struts you can recall the previous (perfect SMS) settings. Make note of the make and serial/part number of your suspension. (shocks,struts,springs) if SMS is using say' Bilsteen, its important to get that information as well.

Saleen employs third party companies to manufacture SMS specific spring/dampening/recoil rates for there suspension. Just purchasing the same make without the correct specs, may deminish the vehicles performance. Same goes for the ECU, this is tricky. saleen does modify the ECU for better engine tune but acquiring that info may be difficult unless you have one of those plugin ECU mod units. in that way you can store that info also for later recall. Ford does change ECU settings under service over time, And guess what specs they'd use.

Remember Although your vehicle is an SMS/saleen Un-certified shops and dealerships do not carry there specs. And once that setup is lost its very hard to get back, thats why theres a premium on these vehicles, they are not run of the mill stangs. People can purchase all sorts of go fast parts, but if those parts arent setup to work harmonious, the car will not perform well. and im sure youve seen tons of highly modded crappy handling stangs on Youtube.

Yes I agree I would only have a SMS or Saleen (Revstone) Certified Dealer work on my car.

Also once my wife and I decide to purchase on SMS, they are in the same State, in case if I ever need mods or repairs done, once the warranty is over. It can be a nice road trip to Sunny So. California. :)

Thanks Xevious for the great info!!

I will do my best to get everyone info as I am allowed to reveal it from SMS.

I do know your payments will be lower if all goes well with the White Label cars ;) and as soon as the SMS 302's supercharger is ready...they will have a Yellow Label setup that is setup like a White Label spec car...but one of the added goodies will be The Supercharger! So you can have some incredible fun power without going full tilt to a Black Label car like I have. Good moves by Steve Mark Saleen

What is the differnce between White, Yellow, and Black label cars?
I don't see any mention of that on the SMS web site.

Thanks,
KS.
