jamie392 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 ummmm, nooooooooo HeHe.. yeah think I will be trading in my Saleen for a "08GT-500" she bought the car for both of us, but she is really loving it alot. The dealer here is getting a grabber orange and a black Gt-500, he still has a red one with black stripes, but think I will wait on the black one. It's really hard to go back to the Saleen after driving the Gt-500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rown4au Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hey for those who have driven both the Saleen and the Shelby's what didn't you like about the Saleen vs the Shelby? I have test driven a Roush stage 3 and a Saleen S281 but have never driven a Shelby. Am toying with a supersnake but have read a few good things about the S281 extreme and wonder how they will compare to both the stock Shelby and the supersnake.

Hmm, well its the ride of the Shelby and the overall fit and finish of the car that really won me over. The Saleen and Roush are nice cars no doubt about that, but in the end they are still after-market cars, even though the Saleen comes numbered with unique vin it does'nt feel as polished as the Shelby GT-500 imho. If I had to do it over again I would of picked the Roush over the Saleen. But to each there own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info Jamie, (by the way I am a Jaime as well) I thought the Roush had a nicer fit and finish inside and out than the Saleen but the Saleen felt much faster (not surprising it has more hp) and handled better. I am becoming a bit of an addict on this forum and the net in general doing research on the vairous mustang iterations available out there as I want to make sure I am really happy with whatever I go with in the end. Any other suggestions you may have or observations gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
