It's only like 25hp more than stock right?

To me sound has never been a big deal. I see all of these Honda Accords and Nissan Altimas with these cans hanging out the back that sound like my Toro 4Cyl weed eater and ask "Why?"

The Saleen exhaust is great and probably very similar between SC and n/a, however the n/a's are usually SLOWER than a GT. they are heavy and have wheels that weigh a ton.

Your decision was the same as mine when I went to buy my car. As mentioned, get the JDM upgrade and you will forget all about wanting an n/a version. Worth every penny.

Now, I would trade my car for a PJ all day long but that is not based on a "fast" requirement.

Excellent point. Those 7-spokes are anchors...

Based on the overall opinion to try to keep the S/C i found 2 in my extended area; and '05 SC and '06 SC and i am in dealings now to see if i can trade for my '07 with only 245 miles and be free and clear. so will see if i can all work out!
thanks again!
and those anchors are one of the keys to the car!

didn't happen

The 2 dealers i talked to said now is not a good time. Said Ford did a clean house movement at end of the year to get rid of all the untitled saleen's (hence why i got the deal i did). So market right now isn't the best for these...so solution...keep it and pray for mother nature to give Ohio an early spring so i can get it out and enjoy it!!

thanks again to all.

I have done a ton of research over past month on SC vs NA and stumbled on the PJ reviews and specs......i think i may put mine on the private market in a month or so when weather breaks to see if i can get decent amount of it and find a PJ!!
Sounds like everything i am looking for and it has an incredible look!

so if any PJ owners out there that want a SC let me know!!!!
thanks again to all.
