Ford’s Mustang remains as the sole survivor of the hallowed Pony Car class that captivated countless customers in the Sixties. Its nearest challenger, the Chevy Camaro bid goodbye last year, while the Mustang has now entered a seventh generation. Along the way, the most popular performance Mustangs have been the Shelby Mustangs but there are some rarer machines to be found if you look carefully. Machines like this 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium Saleen S302 that’s been fettled by Saleen, another well-known American tuning house.

Exterior and Interior
Dressed in black, this 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium Saleen S302 sports a Saleen aerodynamic kit with black grille, giving it a suitably distinctive look without diluting the retro-modern styling of the fifth generation Mustang. The car features Saleen serialized bumpers, and a Saleen downforce wing for extra street cred. The latter was possible thanks to a rear spoiler delete from the factory which removes the stock spoiler. The interior of this 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium Saleen S302 comes with the Equipment Group 400A, a Saleen gauge cluster and interior plaque, and Saleen embroidered headrests. You’ve also got a Saleen leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob. The rest of the cabin remains as typical of a fifth-gen ‘Stang, with air conditioning, a full media system, a nice sound system and the usual powered amenities. The trunk is suitably roomy too, helping this car’s case for being your primary conveyance.

Engine
This 2014 Ford Mustang GT Premium Saleen S302 packs a 302ci (5.0L) while fitted with a Ford Racing cold air kit, a Ford Racing Cobra Jet intake and billet aluminum throttle body. Power goes to a 3.73 ratio limited-slip rear axle via a MT82 6-speed manual gearbox. Then, the car enjoys Saleen S4 performance suspension, Saleen S4 performance bushings, Saleen S4 performance springs and Saleen S4 performance struts. All this means that this is a pony that can turn into a thoroughbred racing horse at the mere suggestion from your right foot.
