Rare and highly desirable 2006 Saleen-S281 SC EXTREME. Registered
as serial number 06-0062, original Saleen window sticker included,
as well as a letter of authenticity personally signed by Steve
Saleen. One of only 35 produced in this exact color and option
configuration. Showing just under 15,000 miles. Power is delivered
through a 4.6-liter V8 originally equipped with the Saleen Series
VI twin screw supercharger, featuring a Saleen forged steel
crankshaft, forged steel rods, forged aluminum pistons, and a
Saleen stainless 2.5" variable flow performance exhaust. Paired to
its 6spd. manual transmission (the same gearbox that was used in
the Dodge Viper), which was standard for the Extreme package.
Incorporated are a few tasteful performance enhancements
professionally executed that will surely put a smile on your face.
They include a ported Ford Racing supercharger, upgraded fuel
injectors, a 2.75" supercharger pulley, ported intake components, a
JLT cold air intake, and a professionally calibrated tune.
Extensive service documentation and receipts for work performed
dating back several years are included, along with an oil change
and a new battery that is 3 months old. Records show that a new
Ford Motorsports clutch and flywheel were installed in 2022, with
only 3,000 miles driven since replacement. Providing superior
handling, this Saleen is equipped with the upgraded Racecraft
suspension system. Up front is a McPherson strut lower control arm,
N2 struts with linear rate coil-over springs, a 1.38" tubular
stabilizer anti-roll bar with urethane pivot bushings, and
specially calibrated suspension settings. While the rear features a
live axle, linear rate coil springs with N2 shocks, a 0.83"
stabilizer anti-roll bar, and an 8.8 differential with a 3.55:1
rear gear ratio. This Weapon is finished in its factory original
black paint, still retaining its deep, glossy finish. The ominous
look/color really suits this car's aggressive and still modern
design. The body lines are sharp and clean, from front to rear,
with zero inconsistencies. Correct from Saleen body components
include the heat extractor hood, extreme front fascia, and
aerodynamic elements such as a rear spoiler, carbon fiber front lip
and carbon fiber rear diffuser, while the previous owner further
enhanced the look with a professionally paint-matched gloss black
rear deck lid replacing the original plastic piece, along with a
modified rear setup revealing a third taillight on the bumper
instead of the traditional two-light Saleen configuration which in
our humble opinion looks much better. This is a non-neglected
sports car that reflects attention, pride, and serious mechanical
dominance. This EXTREME represents the kind of modern collectible
that is becoming increasingly difficult to find: low production,
well-documented, and carefully owned. The interior features Saleen
leather sport seats with firm bolsters and shows little use on both
driver and passenger sides. 6-way power driver's seat with power
lumbar, Saleen 200 mph black face gauges, Saleen performance
driving pedals with driver foot brace, Saleen close-ratio shifter,
Saleen billet aluminum shift knob, Saleen door sill plates, Saleen
serialized engine bay plaque, and Saleen serialized dash plaque.
The dash controls and buttons still remain clean and crisp with no
signs of wear. Factory amenities include AM/FM radio with Shaker
500 audio and climate control. With a stance that screams
'unapologetic' and a signature Saleen growl that stirs the soul,
this 2006 S281 EXTREME is a modern legend. It pairs a menacing body
kit and lightweight heat-extractor hood with the kind of 'show and
go' appeal that leaves everyone else in the rearview mirror. It's
sleek, bold, and fiercely individuala true predator on the open
road". Showing just under 15,000 miles (likely will change, due to
our use for publicity and marketing).
