    Roush '05 S-281SC vs '04 Cobra + 0-60 times??

    Actually it's not total :bs: that I won't be modifying the power plant. Look at my sig--see any engine mods in there? ;) Nope, didn't think so!!! LOL I've reconsidered the '05 Saleen. I can't afford that car right now...maybe in a month or three, but not right now, and I need a car in a...

    Vin stamped into chassis on 96 GT??

    And we did just that Hehe, thanks, that is exactly what we did last Friday! :D To the other poster, I didn't lift up the plastic labels on the door jam or under the left and ride side on the engine bay, but is the Vin REALLY stamped under those labels??? I don't wanna look under them...

    Cobra, Saleen or Roush? Help me decide!

    Okay, since I can't afford an '07 Cobra, I have to lower my horizons a bit and decide between these older, albeit still very awesome cars! If anybody has anything good or bad to say about any of these cars, I'd really appreciate it. As it stands, I think I'm leaning towards an '04 Cobra...but...

    Vin stamped into chassis on 96 GT??

    I just imported my 1996 GT to Sweden. I'm here but in order to register the car the authorites say that the VIN must be stamped onto the chassis of the car. In other words, the metal plate bolted to the car near the dash isn't good enough, and neither is a taped label in the door jam. Is...

    Roush '05 S-281SC vs '04 Cobra + 0-60 times??

    I will be selling my '96 GT soon here in Sweden. When I return to California (oh how I miss you, home sweet home...) I will need a replacement! I'm considering an '05 Saleen SC or an '04 Cobra. I love the looks of the Saleen, but I love the potential of the Cobra, although I don't see myself...

    Anybody in Redding??? Wanna test drive a Cobra for me???

    I just posted this in the WC forums before I found the NW forums!:nonono: Sorry about the double post! Anyway, I'm in Sweden until early July (selling my '96 I just had shipped here). I live in/near Eureka CA which is about 150 miles from Redding. There's a guy there who has an '04 Mystic...

    Anybody in the Redding area wanna test drive a Cobra for me?

    Here's my problem: I just shipped my '96 Mustang GT to Sweden (where I am now until early July) to sell. I was browsing eBay last night when I found a beautiful '04 Mystic Cobra for sale. I emailed the owner and asked him about the reserve and I liked his answer. Problem is, I don't want to buy...

    SHELBY PRICE LIST IS HERE!

    My local Ford dealer sent me an email that they were getting ONE '07 Cobra and asked if I would like to be included on a list of interested buyers. They will offer the Cobra at MSRP, but it will be auctioned off to the highest bidder:lol: Disgusting.:rolleyes:

    Rear ended by UGLY Jeep Cherokee with BIG BLACK BUMPER

    As soon as the adjuster calls me I'm getting some estimates. Sadly, the hit didn't dent the bumper. :( But I was hoping to get a few hundred knocked off the repaint! Oh well, maybe somebody else will rear-end me!!!:lol:

    Rear ended by UGLY Jeep Cherokee with BIG BLACK BUMPER

    Friday afternoon this boob rear ended my car while we were turning right. It was a very minor accident, but it left several ugly black scrapes on my rear bumper. My concern is that my paint is ten years old and very thin. There is NO clear coat left anymore. Am I looking at a repaint for the...

    Roush Adding supercharger to 2005 S281

    Thanks Marcus! I can definitely handle $6k more a few months down the road!:D It's looking like I gotta have an '05 Saleen, and fortunately, my husband is in awe as well! Now, if I could just get outta here and go home... And K.Pribble's car is a beauty!:hail2: Cindy

    Roush Adding supercharger to 2005 S281

    What was just the blower/install cost? Without the JDM tune and other stuff. I know I will be happy with the car without the blower, since I've endured six years driving an auto '96 GT!:D But I also know eventually I'll get the itch to mod. But if I can get the blower for $5-6k more at the...

    Roush Adding supercharger to 2005 S281

    Thanks, Marcus! I like the light setup on the Saleen much better than the GT, anyway. Let me ask you about quality, if I may. I've heard alot of people complain about fit, finish and quality of Saleen parts. Is it as bad as some say? I can't imagine it's that bad, else Saleen wouldn't...

    Roush Adding supercharger to 2005 S281

    Wait a minute...:lol: I thought the SC cars had the two ugly fog lights in the front, or is that just on the GT's? Been looking on eBay and haven't found any SC's with gawdy lights. Cindy

    Roush Adding supercharger to 2005 S281

    :nice: So how much did the blower and install cost? Is the blower the only difference between the S281 and SC cars, besides the fog lights, spoiler and hood? I am leaning heavily towards a new Saleen. I may have an opportunity to buy a new car when I get home, and the field is wide open!:)...

    Roush Adding supercharger to 2005 S281

    Guess if I were to buy an S281 and add a supercharger, I'd better get chummy with the closest Saleen dealer I can find then. :D Thanks, Marcus! Cindy
