Both cars' stats will be similar. Both cars will be street monsters. Both will walk a new Viper. But, one thing about the S281E is that they will build A LOT less of em that Zo6's, so it will be more exclusive.

Welcome to the forums. This is an easy question. As was already said, there will be less of the S281's made which will make it more unique. Besides, it's really a question of Ford or Chevy and in any case I would say Ford. I would get the Saleen. I am actually planning on getting the GT-500 when it's available.
