To each his own. But if someone offered me two sets of keys.......one to an S281E, and the other to a GT500KR.............the KR would be mine. I've not been the biggest proponent of the GT500 since they came out, but the KR has changed my mind about the new Shelby in a pretty big way. I'd love to have an S281E as well, don't get me wrong.......but it will never be a true factory production model mustang. And when it comes down to it.........I could build an S218E for probably half of what it'd cost to buy one. Probably less than that actually.
But in fairness to the point of the thread, I think....in stock form....the S218E would have the KR in acceleration and power. No doubt.
