If the the S281 wasn't enough power for you. Check out the Saleen S281 Supercharged. You get more HP and torque. Saleen throws in a Twin-Screw Supercharger and bigger injectors. The rest of the options are pretty much the same as the S281 3V. Afterall the S281 Supercharged is built from the 3V. Oh, and there is one more thing you get with this model. More weight. 70 lbs. to be precise.

But The horsepower/torque combination well makes up for it with 135HP/90lbs.ft. more than the 3V.
