Greetings fellow Mustang enthusiasts! Summer is quickly winding down… and I have writers block! So, enjoy the article on Saleen Mustangs below and be sure to check out the calendar… Just Around The Bend. Under the hood, all 2015 Saleen S302 Mustangs start out with a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine, a 6-speed man-ual transmission, engine oil cooler, and a Saleen tuned exhaust system with high-performance mufflers. Other features include a Saleen Model Designation Engine Bay VIN plaque, a quick-throw shift-er, Saleen’s PowerFlash High Performance calibration, and Selectable Effort Electric Power-Assist Steer-ing (EPAS). The car rides on 20-inch 5-spoke Saleen Silver Aluminum Wheels matched with high perfor-mance ZR rated tires. Like all 2015 Mustangs, it also features an independent rear suspension. Stopping power is provided by power brakes (vented 4-wheel disc), with suspension upgrades consist-ing of S4 High Durometer Swaybar Pivot Bushings and S4 Saleen Specific Rate Front & Rear Springs. What really sets the Saleen S302 Mustang apart from the rest, though, is its exterior features. In keep-ing with Saleen tradition, the new S302 features a look all its own. In addition to 10 different exterior color options (Competition Orange, Triple Yellow Tri-Coat, Guard Metallic, Deep Impact Blue Metallic, Magnetic Metallic, Race Red, Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Black, Ingot Silver Metallic, Oxford White) the car features a Saleen High Downforce Rear Wing, Saleen Grille Badge, Saleen Axial Front Grille, and HID Headlamps with Signature Styling. Other features include body-color mirrors with inte-grated blind spot detection, a tire mobility kit, and LED Sequential tail lights. On the inside, the S302 is loaded with numerous creature comforts including an auto-dimming rear view mirror, 6-Way power driver seat with power lumbar and a 6-Way power passenger seat. The car’s steer-ing wheel features a Saleen Center Badge and is wrapped in leather. Each Saleen 302 comes with a Saleen Dash Plaque. As for technology, the 2015 Saleen S302 is loaded with plenty of gadgets including two smart charging USB ports, a rear view camera system, proximity key with push button start, and Ford’s SYNC with 911 assist, AppLink, enhanced voice recognition, and various other entertainment features. The car also features a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), AdvanceTrac with Electronic Stability Control, as well as other standard safety features. 2015 Saleen S302 White Label The S302 White Label is Saleen’s entry level S302. Available as either a fastback or convertible, the car produces 450+ horsepower thanks to its 302ci 5.0L V8 engine. As with all the S302 models, the White Label is available with either an automatic or manual transmission. The key feature of this model is the car’s Saleen 302 Styling Package which includes a Heat Extractor Hood with Dual Side accents, a Saleen High Downforce Rear Wing, and a Saleen Center Taillight Panel. The starting MSRP for the White Label is $42,754. 2015 Saleen S302 Yellow Label Saleen’s S302 Yellow Label has a starting MSRP of $53,720 and is also available as either a fastback or convertible. In addition to its Saleen 302 Styling Package (similar to the White Label), the Yellow Label S302 features a Supercharged engine producing 715+ horsepower. As with the White Label Mustang, the Yellow Label is available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2015 Saleen S302 Black Label The Black Label S302 is Saleen’s top dog pony car. Boasting more than 730 horsepower thanks to its Supercharged 302 SSC engine set up, the Black Label has a starting price of around $73,214 and is available as either a fastback or convertible. In addition to its mon-strous horsepower, the S302 Black Label features the most aggressive exterior styling of all the models, thanks to its Saleen 302 Signature Series aerodynamics package. We’re talking about a custom Front Fascia with High Volume Radiator Intake and Integrated LED Marker Lamps, a High Downforce Air Splitter, Saleen’s Functional Center Induction Hood, and a Saleen Black Label Front Grille.

10 Things You Might Not Know About the Ford Mustang

1. THE MUSTANG WAS INTRODUCED AT THE NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR ON APRIL 17, 1964. Henry Ford II unveiled the car at the Flushing Meadows fair, while at the same time, dealers across the United States and Canada debuted the vehicles in their showrooms. Twenty-two thousand of them were snapped right up, at an MSRP of $2,368. 2. THE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN NAMED AFTER AN AIRPLANE, NOT THE HORSE. Quickly nicknamed the “Pony,” the Mustang name has a surprisingly complicated history. According to design-er John Najjar, he suggested the name Mustang after the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane. That was reject-ed because it was too "airplaney," so he pitched the name again as a type of horse, and everyone loved it. But Lee Iacocca remembers it differently. He says there was a trend of naming cars after animals, so an advertising consultant gave them a list of mostly animal names for the car. And one of them was Mustang. Whichever version is true, according to Ford Motor Company, other names considered for the car as it was developed in 1962-63 were Cougar, Torino, Allegro, and Avventura. 3. MUSTANG NUMBER 1 WAS ACCIDENTALLY SOLD TO A CANADIAN. The “Wimbledon White” Mustang convertible with serial number 5F08F100001—serial number 1—was a preproduc-tion model built in Dearborn, Mich., that was not supposed to be sold, only used for promotional purposes. But East-ern Airlines pilot Stanley Tucker talked a dealer in St. John's, Newfoundland, into selling it to him. It took Ford two years and the promise of car number 1 million in exchange (another white convertible built in 1966) to get that baby back from Tucker. Number 1 now resides in the Henry Ford Museum. 4. GOOD GUYS (AND GALS) DROVE MUSTANGS IN THE MOVIES. Mustangs have always been cool cars for cinema heroes to drive, as Steve McQueen proved in the 1968 clas-sic Bullitt. That was a 1968 390 GT Fastback that he roared through the streets of San Francisco. But the first look at a Mustang in a major movie happened in 1964, when Tania Mallet went wheel-to-wheel with Sean Connery's Aston Martin-driving James Bond inGoldfinger. 5. CARROLL SHELBY, CREATOR OF THE MUSTANG COBRA, NEVER ACTUALLY WORKED AT FORD. Champion race car driver and car designer Carroll Shelby used the first Mustang V8 as part of his famed “Cobra,” built at his design shop in Southern California using a different chassis than the Mustang. Later, he and Ford joined up to create the Mustang GT350 as well as the Cobra version, creating a legendary driving machine. But Shelby al-ways worked for his own company, Shelby American, Inc., not directly for Ford. 6. FOR 10 YEARS, THE MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE DID NOT EXIST. In 1973, for some mysterious reason, Ford Motor Company quit making Mustang convertibles. It took the company a decade to realize that Mustang lovers really wanted to feel the wind in their hair. Production began again for their 1983 models. 7. MUSTANG HAS GONE PINK FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS. In 2007, Ford released a special “Warriors in Pink” Mustang with pink highlights. It was designed to raise money to fight breast cancer and donated proceeds to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and other charities. There have been sub-sequent Mustang editions, as well as a full Ford line of clothing; Ford has raised over $120 million toward the cause. 8. THE PONY IS WINNING THE LONG RACE. In 2002, Mustang was going strong as the brand’s two biggest competitors—the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird—both ceased production. It seemed that the pony had won the long race to the top of its class, but Cama-ros went back into production in 2009. After a few slump years, the Mustang roared back into the lead in 2014, beating Camaro sales by more than 35,000 cars sold. 9. FORD’S 300 MILLIONTH CAR BUILT WAS A SPECIAL-EDITION MUSTANG. When Ford rolled car number 300,000,000 off the assembly line in Michigan in 2003, and it was a Mustang. A Mus-tang GT convertible, to be exact, complete with a powerful V-8 engine and commemorative markings celebrating its 40th anniversary of existence. 10. MUSTANG GOT HIGH FOR ITS 50TH BIRTHDAY. In 2014, the newly redesigned 2015 Mustang GT convertible was taken in pieces up a freight elevator to the top of the Empire State Building and then assembled high in the sky, commemorating the marque’s return to the city that started it all when the ‘Stang debuted at the World’s Fair there 50 years prior.
