Which do you like and why?


EDIT: I didn't add the Cobra, because it isn't an 05'

the Saleen is supposed to have 25 more hp for 10000 more $. i like it the way it is, even if the Saleen has fancy cosmetics.

Saleen is awesome, and they are pretty rare as well. I've only seen one '05 in person, same goes for the Roush. But the Roush is a rip off. Local dealer selling it for $44k!!! Ridiculous for stage 1, cosmetics only. Don't get me wrong, they look great, but I wouldn't pay over $35 for a stage 1.

I'd love to have that Saleen E coming out soon here, but I don't make the big bucks like some of you. I'm happy with my GT!

I voted Saleen though...

Oh yeah, I just saw the '06 Charger when passing by the Dodge dealer... what a joke that thing is! I don't care hop many horses they give that thing, it's fugly as hell. Looks like a Pontiac Grand Prix.

hummmm, wonder what my vote is And for me (someone buying for collectors purposes) I was determined to own an '05, so when I was told the wait was 16+ weeks and I MIGHT get an '06 instead, the decision to spend 8-10K more (some people are spending well over $30K for their GT's) for a rarer Saleen was an easy one - and I basically got it in one day with one week of haggling to follow

Though I like them all I would still have to pick the one I drive.

Thanks fellas! But I must say, all of our mustangs are awesome Hey flyingt - do all Roush's have those wheels or is it possible to get a Roush with the stock bullits? I saw one today in Mineral Grey - looked cool but stock bullits. Just curious if it was real or a clone.

They have those two different designs. The reason I got mine is personal taste I wasn't drawn to the bullits, they look nice, but not for me. The other Roush they had on the lot was Grey, but again the wheels kept me away.
