It did include many suspension upgrades along with wheels and tires and a body kit but come on. 70k? What the F!@# ever. Take a 50k GT500 and put 20k of mods in it and see what you get. The Gt500 looks better IMO too. The Saleen in top form did have a forged 3v but was still very expensive and alot more than GT500. Again you could put mods in the Shelby to make it eat the Saleen so like I said I dont get it. BTW how could anyone say that a Saleen or Rouch looks better than a GT500 with a KR super snake hood.
Lot of truth here. Roush is getting better now that the GT donor is improving. In the past, throwing a blower on a GT donor with the same archaic manual transmission from the GT and paying more than the Shelby did not make much sense.
