New 2008 H302 and H302SC models were recently revelead by Saleen Automotive and from the first look , it seems that these versions feature some massive upgrades. These models are meant to show reverence to the Pony fan (”H” stands for “Heritage”), while building a legend. With a 302 cubic inch engine, the 302 Saleen Models boast better performance than a stock Ford.

“The 302 engine is the best engine that we have ever done,” said Saleen Powertrain maestro Rob Simons in a press release.

The H302 gets 390 horsepower but if you really love power, you should chose H302SC. Reaching a spectacular 580 horsepower and 525 ft-lb of torque, the H302SC sports a 302 engine matched with a Saleen-exclusive twin screw intercooled supercharger. Both models get a short throw six-speed manual transmission , Saleen Racecraft suspension and 14-inch front vented slotted brake rotors with four-piston calipers. The 19-inch forged aluminum wheels in both silver and chrome is available for the H302, and the H302SC customers receives a specially painted seven-spoke 19-inch forged wheel.

Saleen Vice Chairman Chris Theodore said, “The H line draws its inspiration from the late sixties Boss 302 Mustang, and is a real compliment to the Ford family heritage.” Theodore is also Chief Technical Officer at Saleen.

Production of the H302 had started in October, and the H302SC will hit the assembly line in December. The prices will be $56,999 for a H302 and the SC will set you back $74,999.
