No way is the S281E making 3.0 seconds 0-60. Not happening. A Ferrari only just makes that as it has launch contol and a fancy diff.....no way what so ever a mildly modded saleen is doing that. There fast there not that fast though,

Of the 3 though the Roush stage 3 is faster round a track which is more important to me. In a straight line with mods to consider GT500 would be quicker.

I never said it was a 3.0 0-60 car? But it would beat a GT500 stock easy. In fact it not a mildly modded saleen, its a complete forged 4.6 3V with 550 Hp, meaning turning up the boost would not be a worry on the engine. They also come with 4.10 gears.
Again never said it was a 3.0 in the 0-60, in fact I dont think anyone said that?

The Roush is quicker round a circuit than the GT500.

Hmmmm.....

1. Steeda Q525
2. Saleen S281-E
3. Ford GT500
4. Saleen S281-SC
5. (tie) RoushTrack Pack / 427R / Black Jack / Stage III (slight differences in performance)
5. (tie) Steeda Q400 (Roughly equal to the various Roush SC Cars)


Just my opinion. That and a buck will buy you a cheap cup of coffee.

IMO -
Roush > GT500 > Saleen
The roush is a maxed out gt... the Shelby can be easily buffed up to beat it and the saleen would be just under the shelby.

does the extreme have forged internals? I bet that is one mean ride. Think I would still go gt500 if I had the money, more potential thier.

From what I read, the roush and saleens are on GT stock blocks. I would say GT500, they come detuned from the factory. A tune alone is worth over 90rwhp on those cars.
