Yeah, the extreme is a better measure against that group. It would be a good race until past 155 when the non-governed extreme owns.
I think it would be a DECENT race up to 80, then the Extreme would own all!

The Saleen SC for a better overall package and the Extreme if you want the best iteration of any of these cars on the planet. imo

rolls eyes... and clearly we can see whom is bias to what...this accomplished nothing..if this was a straight stock point of comparison, saleen would win hands down on a straight shot, a roush 3 would win a curvey road race via its suspension and handling, and the gt500 would be louder than both of them...

sorry this video doesnt have a saleen in it

427R is a great value, Shelby needs to be bought at MSRP to stay in the discussion, Saleen is the best of the bunch, IMO, but you pay for it.

CLASSIC! Watch the vid at about 3:30 ~ 3:50 and the guy describes me everytime I see the following sign while driving my GR-40 Saleen:

You can easily change the handling of the GT500 but you can't easily change the Roush or Saleen to a forged 5.4L.

Looks: Saleen
Engine: GT500
Handling: Steeda

Wow.... Drifting... That is a great way to measure the handling of a car.... (read sarcasm)

And ----> Top Gear doesn't know jack about American cars. He misquotes the car's specs and numbers. Who cares what the blowhard brit thinks.

Instead of youtube vids, post what makes the roush suspension that much greater than the Saleen SC or Extreme - specifics please.

But would you want to? The GT500 motor is great, but it is SO heavy. My main issue with the GT500 is the handling, and much of that is due to the weight. I've driven a few GT500's and both times came away disappointed. I would rather have a 4.6L running 10 lbs of boost than the 5.4L motor.
