Since that picture of the saleen is just so good, yes...I'll take it over the Corvette...415 lbs/ ft of torque should help getting away from stoplights. :lol:

Its a hard choice. I dont really car about the slight difference in performance.
Generally, when i have to choose between a Stang and a Vette i'll go for the Vette

Since the Saleen looks so brutal, i'll go the Saleen. But I'll take off the polished rims tho.

Although it was quite difficult to choose, I decided me for the Vette, because it has slightly more power and better acceleration. I like the styling of the both cars likewise.

They might be similar is straight line performance, but what about on the track? Personally I would take the Vette without a doubt.

according to fast-autos.net the Saleen gets better slalom speeds and equivalent skidpad ratings as the C6.

C6 Corvette, the best American car at the moment, IMO.
This Saleen looks menacing, though. :shock:

You guys are nuts.... Vette all the way... When you boil them both down your comparing a standard Vette with a high end Ford. It's still a POS Ford. It would shock me to find out that even though the numbers are close to equal, that the Vette would still out-do the Mustand in many aspects....

Just my opinion..... :D

lets wait until we compare the saleen version of the '05 mustang vs. the vette
