    Aux Button - What is this for?

    there's a headphone jack that an 1/8 inch plug from an IPOD or other audio source hooks into in the center console. When you have something hooked in and turned on, the AUX button is used to play this console source. I use it for the ipod and it works great. chuck

    Why buy GT500 over Saleen PJ?????????

    SSlither - I'm guessing you own a base GT. The thread (if you read it) is about a GT500 vs. a Saleen PJ... Nobody's talking about what you can do with a cheap car to make it faster. This isn't the thread to hate on guys who spent more money than you did on your car. Guess What? Nobody...

    DYING OUT

    I don't think its over... Yes, the price will drop (like it should). Ford lost a chance to build on their base market and bring new owners into the fold. Slow production and the impression of being a 'true collector' will be the shadow that this car stays under. I know I went the Saleen route...

    Why buy GT500 over Saleen PJ?????????

    FoMoCo offerings, SVT, Cobra (with or without the Shelby badge) will usually have a wider fan-base as Saleen, although a manufacturer, is seen by some as a 'tuner' car for a niche market. I'm biased towards the PJ as I'm having a great time with this car, but I can see how one would love the...

    Why buy GT500 over Saleen PJ?????????

    I beg to differ. Straight line, maybe. But the PJ wasn't made as a drag car. I'd put my money on a lighter, more agile, better suspension model with improved throttle control (read NA instead of blown). Given the same drivers on a closed road course the PJ would definitely keep up and likely...

    Why buy GT500 over Saleen PJ?????????

    Agreed Snake, I prefer and bought the Saleen PJ but I can see how some would go for the Shelby based on the name recognition and connection to Shelby history. RICKS has brought up a good point in the past that the Saleen of today is much like the Shelby of yesterday was. Involved in...

    gt500 price

    This is where I chime in and show a picture of my Parnelli.... (isn't internet great?) And the stroked 302 ***Not the Boss Motor*** The Ford Mustang Boss when it comes out is going to be awesome. I pity the potential buyers with all this GT500 hype going around. I did pay 60k...

    Roush Looking For Opinions From Saleen Owners

    Burrito hit the nail on the head. I'd only add a plug for the Parnelli Jones Saleen if you're into the retro authentic racer thing. This car only comes in one color: Grabber Orange. It has a 400 HP NA 302 stroker with shaker scoop intake, forged internals, and high compression. This thing...

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    This is more along the lines of the GT500 price thread, but take it along these terms. When news of the GT500 came out 2 years ago, it was a big thing. In many ways it struck a chord with mustang fans all over the place: Shelby returning to Ford, Authentic American Muscle, Tradition, etc...

    gt500 price

    Two words: Supply + Demand. Dealers better enjoy it, because at 7-9k produced over 3 years this thing is going back down to msrp. The body style change will also deter all but the true Shelby fans from playing. By then Ford will be owned by Toyota anyway... lol Chuck

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    Racer, You might get more input from the Saleen sub-forum, or even a different forum for saleens : Saleen / Roush talk at Mustangforums. This is like any other deal. It might be good (at 33k) or it might not be so good. Can you go look at the car? See if it had problems or a good...

    C6ZO6

    What about Autocross? The SCCA has regional clubs all over the place. Show up early, run on street tires or race tires. Pay your 30 bucks for 4 to 8 runs on a tarmac with cone course, chicanes, sloloms, decreasing radius turns, -all the elements of a road course without the chance of swapping...

    Grabber orange pics?

    Can't tell from you question if you're referring to the Mustang GT in the pic, or the Saleen Parnelli Jones Edition. If you're asking about the PJ, you should be able to find them at or around MSRP from an authorized Saleen Dealer. MSRP is published at the Saleen website for the PJ's...

    Roush Parnelli Jones Has Landed!!

    It's a 4.6 3V stroked to a 302 5.0, also with forged internals, a lighter valvetrain, higher compression, and changed out flywheel / pulley. Oh yeah, and the thing rumbles.... chuck :flag:

    which will be faster 07 shelby GT500, or 06 saleen SC, both stock.

    I think he's talking stock for stock. If we're talking mod then its a no brainer. The 5.4 will get you a LOT more than the 4.6 3V. No replacement for displacement. chuck
