This is a Laser Red 1996 Mustang Cobra Saleen S-281 Speedster. It's a Saleen conversion on a Cobra instead of a regular Mustang. Only eleven Cobras were converted to Saleens in 1996 - seven of them where convertibles.

I photographed this Lizstick Red 1999 supercharged Saleen S281 convertible at the 2010 MCA Grand Nationals car show held in Bellevue, Washington. This is an amazing color. I first saw it all the way across the car show, even though it was cloudy. I kept coming back all day to get it in the sun, which I finally did when I got this shot.
