Which car would you buy the top of the line Roush Mustang or a Saleen and why? My wife likes our little kick butt 95 gt so well that now she thinks she wants to buy a new one. She came home with a bunch of Roush literature and says she has requested info from Saleen. Or I suppose the other alternative would be to wait until the 07's come out and see what everyone has to offer. But seriously, I don't think she will wait that long.

 

Neither one. Their body kits do not enhance the car's design, they change it. I would go with Steeda which maintains the car's theme, have the same level of performance upgrades and handling improvements, plus they won't take you to the poor house. That's for tuners.

The best choice is a Cobra or special edition from Ford. Case and point, compare the prior S281, the Stage 1, and Steeda's basic enhanced GT to the '03/'04 Mach 1 and they fall short on performance, price, and you don't wind up paying for some parts twice.

 

Saleen minus the fugly rear wing, they attempted to use a design that they should have never used on the 5.0

I would honesty wait until the cobra comes out though, its a better deal

 

Have you thought of buying a 94-98 Saleen?

For less than the price of a new "3-Valve" Saleen S281 you can find 94-98 Saleen S351-R cars.

Just an idea since you really like the '95 you currently have.

As for Saleen Vs Roush, I would take the Saleen (without the old 351/"E" wing). What a surprise, I know

 

hmm i like Saleen's face and profile, but Roush has a nicer hiney lol.

 

I like the 99 S-351, buy a 03 cobra and put a 99 S-351 kit on it. Then paint the whole car mystic....

 

Neither -- I would build my own. But, if you wanted to buy it straight off the lot, I like the Saleen much better than the Roush.

I just can't get over the sticker shock.
