RE: Is this a good price for a S281 SC?
Which leads me to the point of the questions. If you have the money to throw at a 42K saleen then a comparison of what it would take money wise to build a GT to that level of performance vs paying that price would be in order. Personally I can't see anything but the shelby holding or appreciating in value therefore dumping 42K into it would be as same as putting the money in a GT with mods IMO for the same end result a fast car that will depreciate in value. Yeah the saleen names gets you something but most people really don't care. I sat in a saleen at the dealer and the only things I liked were the seats and maybe the shifter(which felt notchy to me). Exterior styling is nice, the ride is HORRIBLE.
My vote is that car at $42K might be a worth while toy once you consider what you would spend to get a GT to that level of performance but no way in h e l l would I put $58K in a new mustang.

How's that gonna happen?
When the other pony cars arrive. You would not see a 10 - 15 grand mark up on the GT 500 if the Camaro and Challenger were out right now. They may be able to get away with that for a little longer, but I guarantee it will not last.
