    That whole test was a joke. Obviously an advertisement for Roush (duh it was on a Roush site).

    The Saleen was 300lbs lighter, made 30 more horsepower, but was slower 0-100???? Its not like their blowers are significantly different, they are both twin screws. I think they need someone who can shift those cars and the Saleen would probably win.

    The track was a joke too. The numbers just don't jive. The Saleen could do well over 1 G on the slalom course but could barely manage 1G with a stiffer suspension setup on the track?????

    The vid was originally posted on WebRidesTV.com. The Roush 427R will beat the s281. This has been proven numerous times. BTW Saleen lists their car at 3550lbs. The 427R used a Roots Supercharger not Twin Screw
