Default Saleen or SVT??

Hey Guys,

Here is my problem. I have a 2001 Saleen S281SC with 24K miles. I have an opportunity to get a 2004 Terminator also in stock trim. The dealership is offering me $21000 for my Saleen and $26,900 for the Cobra. I am torn, I like the looks of my Saleen but love the power potential of the SVT and have always loved both cars. What do I do? Your opions will weigh greatly on my decision whether to keep the Saleen or trade for the SVT. Thanks for your responses in advance.

Dave

I loved my 03 Cobra vert. I got it into the 11's at full weight with nothing but pulleys and a good tune. I didn't even lunch it hard out of the hole because I had stock half shafts. Buy the Cobra, you won't regret it.

I would go with the svt, If I remember right the saleen doesn't have forged internals?
