RE: whos faster
i think he means the GT500, and yes...unless you get the S281E Saleen which puts down 550-525...that would be a race. there are also different levels of saleen just like the roush models.
roush stage 3 makes 415/385 vs saleen S281 S/C makes 465/425

RE: whos faster
Saleen lists the 465hp supercharged '07 model as doing:
0 to 60 --4.6 seconds
1/4 mile -- 12.6 seconds @ 111 mph
I think those are actually slower than most Saleens run, but it could be that Saleen Corporate bases these numbers on 3.55 (stock) gears, not 3.73 (optional) gears. I believe Car & Driver got the '05 Saleen SC (with only 400hp) to do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. With 3.73 gears, I think you're looking at 0 to 60 in the low 4 second range and the 1/4 mile in the low to mid 12 second range. Replace the 37 lb. chrome 20" wheels with something lighter and put some sticky tires on it and you might have a 4.0 second car...
Car and Driver had a stock GT500 do 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 12.7 seconds.
I have no idea what the Roush numbers are.

Good question I've always wondered what would be faster the GT 500 or the Saleen S281 Extreme...

The Saleen E would hand a Stock GT500 his ***. Saw a 281E got 11.78 Stock. I think a GT500 is good for low 12's

RE: whos faster
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.
