Saleen S302 Black Label: Hellcat-who?

The most powerful Mustang you can get from a Ford dealership is the GT, a 444-horsepower muscle car with a naturally-aspirated 5-litre V8.

If you are a diehard Ford fan but need more power (if your neighbour has a Challenger Hellcat in his driveway, for example), the best solution is to go to a tuner who will, in exchange for a few thousand dollars, install some mods under your hood.

Saleen is one of these tuners, offering a wide variety of modifications, from a simple body kit all the way to the S302 Black Label, which has been recently unveiled.

To differentiate this vehicle from a stock Mustang, just take a look at the details: the new bumpers, hood, 20-inch wheels and rear diffuser should be telltale signs.

The big change is under the hood, though: with the addition of a 2.8-litre supercharger on top of the V8, the car now has 730 horsepower, which should be more than enough to dust a Hellcat at the dragstrip.

If you have to own the fastest Mustang, there is a price though; Saleen will build you a S302 Black Label for $73,214 US.
