This may be the "Saleen" section, but the conversing here usually involves honest opinions.
So if you posted this in hope of shelby bashing, or hoping to get people to kiss your ass because you have an E, you are dead wrong.
.
I'm not the worlds biggest shelby lover, and people paying over sticker is their own problem, just remember it's a $43,000 car to begin with, and that's the price bracket it's in.
Where you see them dynoing at 300rwhp i have no clue, but sounds like they are the guys that duped you into buying an E.
My buddy has 2 gt500's at his shop and both layed down way the hell more than 300rwhp .
And i was there, no hearsay.

Only E dyno numbers i've seen were 448rwhp on a mustang dyno, which would put both the output of the E and the GT500 very close, since those number in the link were on a dynojet.
Too bad there is 30K in price difference.
Now on to the biggest mistake you made here. Thinking an E will take down the zo6, lol. This must either be your first day on the planet, or think it is ours.
Not even close. Again similar dyno numbers, but a massive wieght difference.
I don't forsee 11.7's@125 on regular street tires in the E's future, and on a road track, you'd be out of your mind, since the zo6 posted one of the best times ever on the nurdenburg ring.
Even on the american hating show Top Gear, the zo6 smoked 2 dozen cars some of which cost 3-4 times it's cost. Impressed the automotive worlds most anti american expert.
Unfortunately youtube deletes all top gear video, wish you could see the car you are comparing yours too. Probably bring you back down to reality.
I love saleen cars, but for you to think just because your car stickered at 70 grand that you got something world class based on price is ignorant.
And not sure what kind of
suspension you think you have, but it's not anything a kid with 3000 bucks and a set of hand tools can't do.
Me personally if i wanted a new saleen, which i do admire, i'd get a NA coupe (used) and mod the engine my damn self.
