I like Roush's power output, but the styling is just not for me, IMO it is ugly. i hate the front bumper, otherwise I love em. if you put a 03 cobra front bumper on one, I would consider it.

SVT. Other tuners charge for their parts, labor, and keep the stock parts to sell as take offs. The customers wind up getting nailed and pay twice for lots of parts.

I'd have to say SVT. Thry've produced such amazing cars for the public. They're so clean looking too. As for a true tuner car, I would have to say a 1999 Saleen S-351 S/C. 510hp

Not quite sure Doug. It says in the "Standard Catalog of Mustangs" 510hp but I've also heard 495. It could kind of be like the situation with the 03-04 Cobras where they were underated also. The Boss 429's were underated according to the book too. They were supposed to have produced closer to 425-440 hp instead of the advertised 375. Who knows?

Ok, you might get more than you bargained for with my answer:
I voted for SVT [LOVED the 98 (black coupe), 01 (silver coupe), and 03 10th Aniv (red convert)].
However I was a big fan of Saleen and Roush SN-95's [and will always have a soft spot for the S281E (red convert) and 380R(black coupe with gold stripes like the old Hertz models) respectively].
That being said, if I had to pick a SN-197, it would be a SVT, then Saleen.
Edit: Pics are the closest I could find. Use your imagination.

I was actually kind of disappointed with what all the tuners showed with the O5. All the tuners had better examples of the 99-04 Mustangs. The GT500 is the nicest example IMO. Steeda's was nice too. I voted SVT.
