Depends on the year of the SVT. Seems to be a LOT harder to find a 99,01,03,04 SVT Saleen. If The SVT is 98 or earlier, I'll take the 02-up "E" car. If the SVT is 99-up, I'd take it over the E.
Just MY opinion, but I much prefer the 99-04 body style. I know a lot of people like their 94-98's, so no slight intended...

Ok, I'll bite. what are the disadvantages of the IRS as it pertains to this type of car? Saleen doesn't tout itself as a drag car, but a corner carver and I just can't see how the IRS is inferior to the LA of the GT models.ExtremeSaleen said:I own an E so that's where my vote is, but I certainly wouldn't kick an 03-04 saleen cobra out of my garage.
But you know, with just basic bolt ons you're going to see about the same performance out of both cars. The 4v head does have more potential I agree, but the E car is running Saleen aluminum heads, not the stock 2v heads on the GT's plus all the forged internals, I just don't see that much difference in stock form.
Add the fact the cobra weights more, and the disadvantage of the IRS, I think without heavy mods to either car the E car wins in performance.
Plus there are fewer E cars then Saleen cobras (all years mind you) on the road.
