The 1996 Saleen came in four flavors. The S-281 SOHC built from the 4.6L Mustang GT provided most of the conversions. A higher output S-281 DOHC built from the Mustang Cobra was also available. An S-351 version with a large 5.8L V8. And finally a couple of 500hp supercharged 5.8L Saleen SR models were built for racing. Options for 1996 included 18-inch magnesium wheels, Recaro racing seats, carbon fiber hood, 3.55 axle, and the Speedster package for the convertible which included the hard tonneau cover for the backseat and a two-point roll bar.
