I just dont see the worth in Saleen mustangs for the street (as a base track car it may be a good bargain...i guess). I can see if they only made like 2000 of them....but thats not the case.

Yes a track tuned saleen might be more rewarding on the track than the GTR, but for everyday driving I would take the GTR in a second.
The GTR still has some base quality issues with a 350 Z by what you are saying

That said, we aren't talking about the typical n/a or even typical S/C S281, the car in question has 620 ponies

The track tuned suspension on saleens 550's i've been in is just as comfortable as the GT, which is quit comfortable. I imagine this one is not much different. Additionally, Mustangs look far better then the ugly duckling skyline GTR.

On the street, both are poseurs, but the Saleen is champ
