			Get the GT500! There is no replacement for displacement. You can improve the handling later, if your're into the corner thing. As for the color, black isn't a color it's a job!

			I own a 2007 GT500 and it won't disappoint you if you want a fun and fast car that can easily be upgraded to 600 plus horsepower. If you want a collectible car, the Roush will reach this milestone long before the GT500. Initially, only 8000 GT500's were to be built in 2007. In reality, they built almost 12,000 and have continued to build them every year since. The GT500 is built by Ford along side the regular Mustang in Flat Rock, Michigan, through an agreement with Carroll Shelby. The KR model also begins life in Flat Rock, but goes to Shelby in Las Vegas for final assembly. So, in the minds of the purists, the regular GT500 isn't a real Shelby. Bob

			I am looking for an 05 - 07 Saleen Mustang convertible. What do you all think about the collectability of those?

			IMO, if any of these cars become true collectibles it's so far down the road many of us won't be around to see it.  At present, Roush and Saleen cars garner more attention than GT500's (except the KR), because they are fewer of them.  The GT500's that probably will become the collectibles in the distant future are the KR and GT500's modified by Shelby into 600 and 700HP Super Snakes.  Also, depends what you want the car for.  If it's fast fun, get a GT500, but don't expect it to appreciate in value for years, if ever.  IMO, the Roush,Saleen and Shelby built Mustangs have a better chance to hold their value and become collectibles in the years ahead. Bob

			I think Saleen as a company is finished,but he's still building cars under a new name,SMS. Do a Ebay search and you will see a couple Challengers built by Steve M. S. |

			B.T.W. the Saleen cars drop like a rock in value. Try and find a low mile Extreme 600-650 hp Saleen and you will have a better handling and a faster car than a gt500. |

			One thing to keep in mind if you intend to modify is that the 5.4 4v has more ultimate potential that the 4.6 3v.  Hellion Power Systems just released a twin turbo kit for the Shelby that takes them to 1,000 horsepower on the stock engine.  And I believe Evolution performance has their Shelby in the 7's approaching 200 m.p.h.  Obviously a ton of money there, but the point is there is also a ton of power hiding in those four valve heads. |
