<br />Just days after a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/18/whats-in-a-name-sms-supercars-files-suit-against-mj-acquisitio/">lawsuit was filed against it by Steve Saleen for the use of his name</a>, MJ Acquisitions has launched its first Mustang model under the new company Saleen Performance Vehicles. The initial offering seems to be fairly light on visual changes, similar to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/04/saleen-makes-new-value-oriented-racecraft-brand-official/">Racecraft-branded 420S Mustang</a> that debuted last year, but Mike Shields, the new Saleen's CEO claims they wanted to "deliver a lot at an affordable price." Each 435S Mustang comes with a Saleen Series VI twin-screw supercharger that makes the 4.6-liter V8 good for 435 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque, driven through a 5-speed manual and 3.73:1 gears. Improved handling is provided by a sport-tuned suspension package and 14-inch brakes up front. Customers can also opt for the Aero Package, which includes a chin spoiler and rear wing to go with the Saleen graphics and 18-inch alloy wheels that look to be a take-off of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-dan-gurney-gives-stamp-of-approval-for-new-signat/">Dan Gurney Signature Edition Mustang</a> introduced by Saleen last year. Pricing has yet to be announced, but we expect it to be somewhere in the low $40,000 range. Full details can be found in the press release after the jump.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saleen-435s-mustang/">2010 Saleen 435S Mustang</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saleen-435s-mustang/2163254/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/saleen_pr_threequarter1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saleen-435s-mustang/2163256/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/saleen_pr_front_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saleen-435s-mustang/2163259/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/saleen_pr_profile_copy_sm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saleen-435s-mustang/2163260/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/saleen_pr_rear_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-saleen-435s-mustang/2163258/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/saleen_pr_lights_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=483479">TheMustangSource.com</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/24/will-the-real-saleen-please-stand-up-saleen-performance-vehicle/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Will the real Saleen please stand up?
