I like the red interior accents -- don't see that very often on the Saleen (right?)

punctuation, grammar, and less use of CAPS may be useful sometime

My car is slow.

I'm buying a space shuttle btw. Pretty much the fastest space shuttle ever.

Oh wait, no I'm not.

How much do the Extremes cost?  How about the GT500?

There is a 500mi. break-in period before it makes full power.

Both great cars,  just built for different buyers.

Not to get into a pi$$ing match here but how can you say a Cobra is Slow? Compared to What your E car? Your car may be faster as there is always a faster car but for you to say it is slow is incorrect. I just own a an 04 2 valve S281 SC car and with some slight mods and it seems pretty fast and probably does what I want or need it to do for now but for someone to say the Shelby is slow is ignorant I have to say. The Shelby has it's issues I think we can all agree, just like the Saleen does as well. However overall from the Ford  Factory the Shelby is still a pretty nice car and if the Saleen was not available I bet you $$  that a good % of folks on this site would probably have one if the dealerships did not do a $15-20K mark up when the car first came out. Think about it. List price $46-48K for 500 HP Shelby? Saleen same Performance 'Relatively Speaking" for 80-90K? I am talking full blown E cars here.
BTW the turn of the caps lock please. It looks like your shouting at everyone.

Peace.

I think the GT500 is a great looking car. Get that engine to 625hp and it's real fast. My 2 cents, Errrrk
