SMS Mustang Production?
Was curious if Steve's SMS is producing as many Mustangs as Saleen did before he left?

The height of Saleen vehicle production was 2005, 2006, 2007. SS left Saleen Inc in May 2007, and the world economic turmoil started to shift thereafter.
2008 production took a hit, even though the model ranges were increased, and 2009 saw just a hand full of the classic S models produced before the production line stopped in around November 2008. SMS vehicle production is on par with the competition in today's economic situation, producing about three dozen of each model line for a given model year. A different scenario than the one that produced about 1,500-2,000 Saleen Mustangs yearly from 2005-07. |

I dont see them lasting long with that few vehicles. Couple that with the upgraded Mustang GT, terrible economy. You can buy the base GT and those things are real performers. These signature series are gonna slowly fade.

Mine's an '06 which may have been the largest production year. From what I can tell they made close to 1500 3V's, 770 SC's and I'm not sure how many extreme's, maybe 60. A rather prolific year for production.
To my knowledge SMS has not made any Mustang SC's yet. That would be 570 hp with his supercharger. I've researched the 302 engine and found they are using the same rods as the 281. I question whether they could withstand the hp. I spoke to a local tuner who said they have gotten 800 horsepower out of a 302 with only a fuel pump issue. But what about later when it goes KABOOM. If anyone knows more about the rods in a 302 or what SMS plans to do with the internals I would like to know.

The dealership is selling about half the total units per year compared to 2005,2006, and 2007. Just my 2 cents. Thanks, Tom |
