my brother in law just ordered a fully loaded stage 3, there is a bastard of a wait for them, he's looking at several months before he gets it. i guess its a matter of personal opinion, but i think the roush looks like a mexican modded car. i have the brouchure for it and its ugly. the 281sc and extreme look sweet, especially the extreme. i think the shelby cobra looks sweet as hell, i'd go that route 
if money isnt an issue the s-281E is amazing and its got 500 hp, 480 tq.

I would say the 07 Cobra. It will probably run you about $10k less than the Saleen SC (Estimated $40k price for Cobra vs $47,994 for the base SC saleen coupe). Since you are only thinking the SC, there really is no difference except that the 07 Cobra will be a bit more mod friendly not to mention the Cobra will have 75ish more HP stock.
If it has to be a Saleen or a Roush, definitely go Saleen. The Roush's look like Banther fodder.

Don't forget this important point, the Saleens, whether supercharged or no, start with a basic GT engine, 2V or 3V whatever the case may be, yes, the Cobra is a smarter buy.

Roush/Saleen, well Roush has a lot of spread between the top end and the bottom. I think they are more varied than the Saleen, Saleen is just plain better looking, depends what you want really, I would love to hav either, as long as the Roush were not the Stage I with a V6, LOLOL

Be patient, gas prices may push Mustang prices down. Do your research, make your own decision. They are all damn good American sports cars. I'd go with the Cobra.
I'd be happy just to get my Stang running. There is nothing more sad than seeing one covered/garaged.
Any connections for an engine would be appreciated! |

roush are going to be FAR more rare then the saleen, very few do roush body kits due to price.

Call me naive, but why would you get a Cobra over a Saleen or Roush, and why is the 4.6L engine better than the GT's 5.0? Oh yeah... whats the big difference between the Shelby and the Saleen Extreme? I thought Shelby was the best, but the S281-E is putting out more HP? |
