Ya so I know I like both for their unique styling, unique approaches to power trains, and the way they are marketed. God save me if I get a million bucks!

I like Roush's attention to oldschool with the style and Roots Blower.

I like Saleen's attention to the sleek with that Twin Screw blower.

Both have awesome Aero Bodies, and both would have my checkbook if it could hold it.

What do you guys\gals think, I'm sure this topic comes up alot.

This is a touchy subject here. The roush guys will tell you rousch is the better choice while the Saleen guys will tell you that the Saleen is the better choice. I say test drive them both and see which one YOU like better. You have to pay for it, you have to drive it, you have to like it. I did and I picked the Saleen because it fit me. Plus around here there are a lot of rousch vehicles. Maybe in your area this might be different.

To be honest I'ma wait til my Lietenate paychecks roll in when I graduate, and I'll pick up both, 427R Trak, and Saleen Supercharged. Both coupes of course, I love stangs, I'ma face hell though when the Navy has to move em... I'ma have to have my girl drive one while I drive another, cuz I already have a 04 Cobra stored in florida, and two 89 GT's here... IE base housing for the win!

psst im a mustang guy, i have a roush, i am currently looking at a saleen, i want both...they are sexy cars, we are on the same team right , the team that stands against the camaros and chargers etc... ps i had a nisson pick up attempt to race me tonight? he was suprisingly fast as hell..i of coarse killed him but wow he must of had something under his belt to even attempt that right?

I picked up a Skyline back in my 17's LOL (two years seems like forever) and it was fast, but my first 89 GT 1k horse sounds weak, with a Stang 3k sounds more like the border! LOL And hell ya Roush, Saleen, Steeda, Griggs, I'm like "GANNA HAVE EM ALL" but I'ma have to negotiate which of us (me or my girl) will own the Saleen or the Roush, I want the Muscle look of the Roush, but being beat by my girl has me wondering if I should give her the higher horse Saleen and risk losing or not! But ya Nissans are respectable, but I bleed blue and white ovals, they just reflect red cuz I'm so hot from the Adrenaline rush I just got with the stang! LOL[:@]

Go Steeda.

I'ma have to message the forum, cuz Griggs and Steeda don't have their own section... I think that drives away some of those guys, and they have some the sickest stangs out there! LOL

I got your back, bro [sm=signs007.gif]

where you stationed at. Im in the Navy as well. I bought a saleen because ive always loved the styling. Although I alsmost bought a red 427R this summer at a car show. The only thing I dont like about the roush is that they dont use a twin screw supercharger. I cant figure this out because ford sell the ford racing whipples.

I obviously prefer what I have. I like having the winningest team in automotive racing history plasted on my car. The looks win for me, too. Other than that, I like the way Roush's SC is set up more than Saleens. (Not that I have a Rosuh SC on my car.) The Roush SCkit makes more power at less boost, has a more complete set up and nets you better fuel economy.

But I won't talk too much about things I don't have. I like having a V6 Roush. It allowed me to make my own car with their platform to start from. Start with a Roush serial number, wheels, body kit, exhaust and suspension - then upgrade to my own needs.

Saleen !!! Why? Styling, Power.

roush- not for me.

what does I'ma mean

I think both cars look great. But I like the Saleen better of course:)

Wait, does this mean you are 19? and you have an 04 cobra and 2 1989 GTs and your getting a Saleen? Damn!

You'd be surprised with all the young money:D

My first choice is ROUSH, but if i ever had the chance to get my hands on a saleen, i would definately want both. they are both such amazing companies that provide all of us mustang enthusiats with so many great looking rides.

If you really want to know why I like my Saleen...I will take you for a ride in it and no words will need beexchanged...:)

At the time when I bought my car, I liked the saleen styling a lot better than the roushes for 99-04. The roush styling was a little too subtle to me.

Since they introduced the newer bodystyle, I am a big fan of the Roush look. I considered getting one at some point....

I have owned Saleens since 1991 when I bought my 89#709. At the time there was really no other car/ manufacturerlike it out there. Now there aplenty of choices and I still love the Saleen so whenI sold my 89 last year I went with an 04 SC Vert and I love the car. Styling, looks, Handling, power (for the most part) Exclusivity here in New Hampshire. But I will say the new Black Jack Roush as well as the 427 R cars are absolute beasts and the Body Coddington 04 Roush I saw at a car show 3 years ago was a beautiful car as well. So it comes down to what your preference is. My buddy is looking to get into having a collector car in the next year or so and he is a big Roush fan and that is cool as well. You can't go wrong either way. It always comes down to YOUR Personal choice.
MY dream Garage could have a Black Jack or a 427 R in it, after of course my SA10 and my 07 Exterme Saleen, and my 04 Cobra Saleen Vert. Oh and my Saleen Pickup .http://www.mustangforums.com/micons/m9.gif

Here is a mixed breed for ya, Roush w/ Saleen wheels:D

I'm sorry but what the heck are you saying here?The grammar runs a little bit together and so I had a hard time understanding what you were talking about here. You have an 04 Cobra, and 2 89 GT's and once you become a Lieutenant (sp) you will then be able to buy both a Roush 427R Trak and a Saleen ? So about 80-100K in cars. Your 19 now? hmm I guess the Navy is paying pretty well even if base housing is covered.

REPLICA WHEELS?!?!?!?!?!?.........Get 'em boys! [8D]

I like the Saleen power but personally dont like the look of the rear end body style.

Car is a real Roush Stage 1 that has the following mods BBK headers, underdrive pullies, Dragon plenum, 70mm BBK throttle body, suspension work and I bought the car for my wife as she sits so EASY FELLAS:Dhehe

Didn't know the wheels where replica's. Thanks. :D Bought the car with 51k on her for 15k.[8D]

I dont know why LilRoush is giving you a hard time...he doesnt even have a V8...

We're talking real vs fake.... nobody mentioned motor size. Besides, it's about how much hp/tq you put to the wheels, not how many cylinders it takes to make that.

Hard Driver,
Someone messed up prior to you gettingit then. In 02 the GT badges came off and the block R badge replaced it on the fender. Someone added those after the fact. Same with the "380R" on the door. Roush it is, 380R it is not.

Lil Roush, definately not a 380R, and I COMPLETELY AGREE that the GT badges should come off. It's tacky to have both. How much hp do you think our Roush is making? I figure maybe 285-295hp and not sure about the torque.

I like both. Different style/graphics, different add-ons. They are all Mustangs, no matter what 'tricks' you bolt on them. Too bad ego's always get in the way when enjoying a nice cruise around the block or a nice pass down the 1/4 mile. Sort of puts a bad light on Mustang owners when you have to badmouth someone's else's Mustang.[sm=dontgetit.gif]

+1

never paid attention to Saleen until the i saw the firstpics of Barricade from the Transformers. so been a fan for over a year now.

i think thats what i dig about mustangs the diversity of models.
not many other companys offer whats avail for mustang

i dig them all :)

+1

Much love for both.
Personally, choose ROUSH, even as an upstart, after seeing several friends having issues with SALEEN and seeing the corporate response.
I love both but my heart has been with ROUSH for over 10yrs now and still approve of their offerings.
Would proudly park a S351 next to either ROUSH.
