That is a (guess you'd call it) "mule" for Saleen's SMS challenger. That particular car is actually an SRT with a 6.1 and an auto in it. It's on it's way to Florida for a bit of supercharger R&D.
I spent a fair amount of time talking to Mike Ross who works for SMS and was here with the car. I had already been told they were doing some R&D on a 6.1, but Mike wouldn't tell me much of anything concerning that.
The 570 and 570X are both built using the 5.7, but the 570X is punched out to a 6.0 for that 700hp.
Most of what you see is pretty close to what production will be (with production starting the end of this month they said) But with that said, Steve (Saleen) is still tweaking on some stuff, including the exact placement of the "scoops" on the fresh air hood. And unlike the SRT's, these will have the air ducted IN to the motor, as opposed to ON to the motor.
Anyway, here are a couple more pics. Guess who's Moustang that is in the background. (they offered to crank it up to over 700hp for me...but I didn't hear the word FREE in there)
oh yeah....I got some minor info on the supercharger for these. It's a brand new piece, sits completely on top of the motor, is a twin screw, and has intercoolers built in. VERY nifty looking piece
