New Harley S/C or Saleen S331?

Guys,

Looking to swap out my S281 Saleen Mustang and get back into a truck.
Big question is which one.

I loved my 2003 Anniversary Harley and now the new ones come S/Charged its great. But also like the Saleen trucks.

Anyone had any experiences with the Saleen S331's? I knwo they are fairly new out but need to know about recalls and reliability as being in the Uk both are quite important as once here I am on my own.....

Cheers

kev

Let's just fly over there and road test them all inc. the Roush.

It's the only way to know for sure

Like the Harley look better, but the Saleen has a lower suspension. Full 4 doors on the HD, SuperCab on the Saleen. Both are supercharged. Advantage: Harley. - Og

I'd get the Saleen if money is not a factor.

Well, Love the interior of the Harley over the Saleen. Looks a lot more upmarket and less utalitarian. Love the power and handling the Saleen should give.
Seen a couple of Foose Mustangs and not a great fan of the fit and finish. Hopefully these slipped through the QC at the factory so not great hope for the Foose truck.

So looking more towards a 2007/8 F150 Harley with Saleen blower upgrade and Saleen suspension upgrade.
Anyone know what suspension parts are binned and what is fitted? I know with the Mustang, Saleen used different parts through the build year. My Saleen Mustang has factory Magnaflow exhausts for example and I think some used Brembo brakes.

I guess we need to review your bank statements first.
I've saw the Saleen in person and it really stood out (even in SoCal). I'm not one to go up to a random person's vehicle and start checking it out but I couldn't refrain on this truck. The S/C offers similar horsepower @ 44k though??? hhmmm

Well, I have been quoted $48,000 for a fully loaded (is there any options on a HD?) S/c F150 Harley. Now as the exchange rate is great for us in the UK, I can sell my Saleen here for around $60,000 and be able to afford the HD and fit the Air Bar suspension and also a JDM performance upgrade before shipping it over here.
Or just buy the Saleen S331S/C and have not much left.

Then again, I could get a 07 Lariat and get it fully tweaked and lowered and have buckets of cash left.....

Steering more towards a 2007 Harley S/C in Amethyst though

Yeah 44k is just the starting point. I'm not exactly sure what the options are, but something can be added.
