acidangel316 · 07-06-2001, 05:26 PM

does anyone know what all the differences are between an '89 saleen and like a standard stang or a gt? i'm looking in to buying one but it is considerably more than a gt. is there any difference besides the body kit, or is that even the same???

Lots of things....All the Saleens up to 94 were LX's except for the few GT Sports that were made. The LX's get the ground effects, suspension, a full interior redo, wheels tires, 4 wheel 5 lug Disc Brakes, different shifter, dash, pre 91's(airbag equipped) had a Momo Steering wheel.

in 1991 Saleen started modifying the base Saleen...they got a Vortech/Saleen Intake, headers, exhaust, gears, and the litle things.

1992 was the rarest year...only 16(maybe 17, but I think 16) made that year.

1989 was the year of the sweet SSC. 160 of those made...it was supposed to be the SA-5(Saleen 5th Anniversary)

Those have ported intakes, ported heads, a b cam, exhaust, gears....292 hp. They ran hi 13's stock.

Hope this helps
