    which will be faster 07 shelby GT500, or 06 saleen SC, both stock.

    I asked this question a while back and a quick look at the performance specs off Saleen's website shows a LOT of modifications for the Extreme. We're talking balanced aluminum driveshaft, flywheel, forged internals, 15 inch disk brakes, and no speed limiter (I think the Shelby has one..)...

    gt500 price

    Lugbolt, Good for you on your purchase, and kudos for stating your true price. I called around for a price on this car and didn't see much under 60k. In the end I opted for a Saleen PJ Edition, but I love both cars! Enjoy your ride and don't worry about your premium - that won't mean...

    Roush 2005 Saleen Daily Driver. Opinions Please? Input

    Scrat, I say Go For It. I've seen more enthusiasm for the S197 on other boards, you might check some other forums for some feedback. It looks like the debate is turning into a referendum on the 05+ platform, which by all accounts, has been a true success. Anyone who thinks this isn't a...

    GT-500 = Boat

    :OT: This thread started out talking about the handling characteristics of the Shelby GT500... Now we're discussing GM F body sales figures?? O.k. :shrug:

    Roush WTF is a Saleen SSO???

    Agreed. Let me see, this is starting to get confusing. A s281 Extreme made by Steve Saleen, but with Le Mans stripes and rocker panels to look like the Shelby GT500 Cobra built by SVT... Whew! You almost need pie chart or something in there. Chuck

    Roush Parnelli Jones Has Landed!!

    Thanks for the input guys! Looks like a good bunch over here just like the mustangforums site. the car is FAST. Most people will tell you the throttle response on a high compression NA motor feels faster in the 'seat of the pants' feel. I haven't gotten on it in the high rev ranges, but...

    GT-500 = Boat

    Well put. I came close to buying one of these a few months ago for 10k over MSRP, then I woke up. :notnice: I realized the 'hype' of this car is what is driving the ADMs. That hype won't be around at resell. I can already see a bunch of guys trying to convince 2nd buyers down the road...

    GT500 value

    IMHO the jury is still out on even the Shelby GT and Hertz edition. We don't know how the market will respond to all these Shelby vehicles everywhere. We also don't know what Shelby has up his sleeve for other specialty Mustangs, nor do we know what those build numbers will be if and when they...

    2005 Mustang GT Stroker Kit 302

    :shrug: What about the new PJ Saleen? It's a stroked 302 producing 400hp. It has forged internals. Seems like a good way to go. How's that approach differ from what you guys are talking about?

    DO NOT BUY FROM SIMI VALLEY FORD!

    Grabber orange pics?

    :shrug: I like the attention-getting color, but its like most other cars with bright colors, it only works if you have the goods to back it up. My point: On a stock 6 banger or GT, not so much. Now put the same setup with some Flat black accents and Boss stripes on a PJ Saleen, it works...
