demetrie ◊ 2009-07-10 02:12	It's messed up that the movie producers trash this vehicle especially since it's an AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR. Why do they do that in fast n furious films?
xzibet ◊ 2009-09-17 01:06	agreed but if you notice they do that in almost every movie ex 1967 shelby gt500 w/nos "eleanor" 1958 plymouth fury "christine" 1960s vw beetle destroyed several time "herbie" nough said

tonkatracker ◊ 2009-10-29 04:31	the S281 Extreme has 200+ more HP that a regular S281 but I don't think the Extreme was available on this generation.

Tonka36 ◊ 2014-01-01 21:50	Actually this is a 2001 Mustang Saleen S281, with a 4.6L supercharged V8 bringing out about 375hp. There were 3 used for the movie. One of the three is being auctioned off at the Mecum Auctions in Kissimmee, Florida between January 17-26, 2014. This is a summary of it from Mecum: "Since its debut in 1996 the Saleen Mustang S281 has been the flagship of the Saleen line of specially modified custom automobiles, making it ideal for a role in the movie “2 Fast 2 Furious”, the second installment in the hit “Fast and Furious” movie series. The car was originally manufactured by Saleen for R&D on the new “Extreme” model that was slated for production beginning in 2002. It was originally painted “Speedlab Yellow”, a Saleen custom color, and then numbered 02-0002E for use as a Saleen press vehicle. After its tour, it was one of three Saleens remanufactured for Universal Studios for use in “2 Fast 2 Furious” and repainted Lizstick Red. The roll bar, camera mounts and “Year One” log on the back window were installed by Universal Studios. At the completion of filming the cars were returned to Saleen. This 11,995 mile S281 sports Ford’s versatile 4.6L SOHC V-8 with special fuel calibration, underdrive pulleys and a performance exhaust system that gives the S281 its authoritative roar at full throttle. Upgraded with a Saleen Series IV Lysholm twin screw supercharger and 2½ -inch exhaust, the car cranks out a ripping 375 HP with the attached power flash, an almost 100 HP increase over the naturally aspirated version; behind that is a quick-shifting 6-speed manual and heavy duty rear end. The chassis is equal to the task of making that power work, with Saleen Racecraft suspension, 18-inch wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires and slotted and vented 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. As with all Saleens, this excellent example features an engine bay plaque and serialized console plaque that verify its authenticity as a true Saleen vehicle. It is also listed in the Saleen Registry and documented with a letter from Saleen chronicling the car’s history and use."
Tonka36 ◊ 2014-01-01 21:52	These are the highlights of it: - Originally purchased by Saleen in November 2001 to be used for R&D for the Extreme model for 2002 production - Originally painted Speed Lab Yellow, a custom Saleen color for use as Saleen's press vehicle - After touring as the press vehicle, it was one of three saleens painted Lizstick Red for the filming of 2 Fast 2 Furious - 11,995 actual miles - Saleen series IV Lysholm twin screw Supercharger V-8 engine with 375 HP - 6-Speed manual transmission - Heavy duty rear end - Saleen racecraft suspension - 2 1/2" performance exhaust upgrade - Power flash has been attached - Saleen sport seats - 18” wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires - Slotted and vented 4-wheel disc brakes - Listed in Saleen Registry - Part of the Berry Collection since 2003 - Documented with a letter from the Saleen Registry Link to "www.mecum.com"

There are so many classic Challengers and Camaros out there, it's not a shame anymore. Check this out: Production of 2003 S281s: 137 Production of 1969 Camaros: 243,085 Production of 1970 Challenger: 76,935 Your argument is invalid. Also, this car can not be a ricer because ricers are always Japanese cars.
fontheking5 ◊ 2015-03-30 12:20	I love American muscle cars
PDX ◊ 2015-09-21 14:48	fontheking5 wrote Why ? this is a beautiful muscle car , and will outrun your ugly Bmw with ease. A muscle car like that can be easily beaten by a Skyline

jpts ◊ 2016-05-13 03:44	larrabeer wrote it's a regular mustang outfitted to look like a s281 They only used a regular V6 Ford Mustang because the Saleen version cost $60,000.

F355 ◊ 2016-05-15 02:58	in this photo it's a saleen but when it gets destroyed is a mustang v6
F355 ◊ 2016-06-30 23:25	i saw a blacked out 1995 Ford Mustang GT at volo auto museum
Cyclone1969 ◊ 2017-05-09 07:04	This looks to be the S281 SC, not just the standard S281. You can see the gauge cluster on top of the dash as well as the special hood.
Marvel-ous Nerd ◊ 2018-07-06 19:51	I have a model of this
ReeceTheFanBoy ◊ 2020-02-24 22:59	More in-depth video on this car here. Really gives you more insight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH5AMrQgisw

train68 ◊ 2022-02-11 23:01	What a lovely shade of lizstick red. -- Last edit: 2022-02-11 23:02:06
CZSeventyFive ◊ 2023-08-26 00:02	I remember reading that the purpose of the Saleen being destroyed was to dissuade people from trying to pull off the "under the trailer" Civic trick from the first movie. As apparently some people were trying to do that IRL.
Baube ◊ 2023-08-26 01:24	train68 wrote What a lovely shade of lizstick red. have to agree
QueenMDX ◊ 2023-08-26 01:25	I agree too, Baube
Gamer ◊ 2023-08-26 07:54	train68 wrote lizstick red. Is that what reptiles put on when they go out on a date?
Baube ◊ 2023-08-26 08:21	yep, they think the shade is fantasssssstic..

irarelywatchmovies ◊ 2024-09-29 03:50	According to Craig Lieberman, there were five S281s used in the movie. Only the hero car had the Saleen modifications under the hood. The hero car was a 2000, chassis 00-0201. One of the stunt cars was a stock manual GT, and the rest were stock V6s with automatic transmissions. The S281 that gets crushed by the truck is a V6 with a roll cage. The Lizstick Red color is named after Steve Saleen's wife, Liz. -- Last edit: 2024-09-29 03:51:55
