clark17357 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Check out the new issue of Motor Trend. There is a head to head test of the Shelby GT-C vs. the Roush Stage 2 vs. the Saleen S281-3V. You will enjoy the article. As a bonus, the cover story is on the new Challenger. Check it out.

Carnut12 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I did not get mine yet, should be here any day. What happened to subscribers getting the Magazines prior to them hitting the News-stands? Can not wait to get it, this is the First Head to Head Comparison I know of for the Shelby GT.

What happened to subscribers getting the Magazines prior to them hitting the News-stands? Can not wait to get it, this is the First Head to Head Comparison I know of for the Shelby GT. Not the first. Thre have been others against Japanese cars. This is the first Mustang to Mustang test I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyb Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 There was the test between a roush and a Saleen, the video is on the site somewhere, but this was a head to head, and we did come out on top. I am very proud of the team for this and if you own one......congratulations! Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT2666 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 This supports what a lot of people have said and thought for some time. Great to have someone confirm it finally. What issue is this? I stopped at the store and they had the March issue but its not in there is this the April issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What issue is this? I stopped at the store and they had the March issue but its not in there is this the April issue? It is in the April edition. The results were especially impressive since they used the slowest color SGT for the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilbleak Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 It is in the April edition. The results were especially impressive since they used the slowest color SGT for the test. So you're saying they used a blue one for the comparison? I'll have to check it out if I can find a copy - the newstand here at work just had copies of the February issue.

SWEDEMAN Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 The SGT is an incredible car, even though I believe it should have come stock with 380 horses, and every where I go I can not keep the people off of it. It is awesome, I say awesome, to know our SGT's are number 1 in the Mustang high-performance car arena! Just love it :snake: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 What item or items gave the SGT the edge over the others? I will definitely pick up a copy this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudden Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Lets put it this way, I traded my Saleen in for the SGT! Sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69dejavue Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 OK, lets draw straws. Short straw has to notify Saleen is King of the bad news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 What item or items gave the SGT the edge over the others? I will definitely pick up a copy this weekend. Looks handling and price. All 3 were non supercharged. The Shelby had the big brakes and razors on it which brought the list price up to $47k but it was still the least expensive of the 3.

CMCVette Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Awesome news! Though the SGT lost to an STI in a recent "comparison" (I had to put this in quotes because they really don't compare, IMHO, a la apples vs oranges): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbydream1 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I did a search on YouTube for "shelby roush saleen" and all I found was this.... I was ok with it!!! I didn't have too much trouble with that either! BTW did you watch the video I think it was called "awesome mustang" with the 69 mach I running the quarter? Times between 9.7 & 10.1-pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saleens are ridiculously over priced. I looked at the S281 S/C and I think MSRP was around 75K. I really would like to see them do a S/C comparison. I think a SGT/SC would still be the cheapest.....
