The 2010 Saleen S281 Mustang doesn't wander too far from the formula that made Saleen one of the biggest names in the Mustang world, but it also makes some admirable advances over its predecessors. And when it comes to cosmetics, this just might be the best looking Saleen Mustang to ever hit the streets.
Fans and owners of Saleen Mustangs have been on a bit of a roller coaster ride over the past few months. First, back in March, it was announced that MJ Acquisitions, the new owner of the brand, would not be covering any of the old company's warranties. Then, a few weeks later, Steve Saleen announced that his new company, SMS Supercars, would cover any warranties (even though they had absolutely NO legal obligation to do so). A little after that, SMS Supercars teased their latest Ford Mustang creations, the SMS 460 and SMS 460X. Everything seemed right with the world. Steve Saleen was back to making tuner Mustangs (albeit under a different name), and loyal customers were having their warranties covered.
