Now mind you, I've always been a true believer in Carrol Shelby's magical massage for the mustang.
Shelby's GT 500 Super Snake.
Over 525FP torque numbers, 725 horsepower, and Snakes.
435 HP looks nice smoothly packaged in the Saleen version. I'd have to believe you could get that bumped into the 700 range without too much trouble.
Lower is better/faster, unless it's because you forgot to check the TIRE and WHEELS options when you orgered you'r GT.
I'm certain a good tuner could find you a little more boost from that twinscrew blower, and a slightly illegal change in the exhaust routing could get you in the 625 horses range, without blowing up every three months.
The Saleen does give you about as good as can really be sold to J.Q. Public without him spinning out every-time as he tries to figure out how to come off a corner.
The price is right.
While I'd personally pass on the Saleen for the Shelby GT, it's mostly my love for Chromium Cobras.
At any rate it is good to see some experimentation with the 'Stang that doesn't destroy the overall character of the machine.
A worthy offering for any with it's upscale cleanness, rattle, and hum.

Surely a Saleen without the show is a no go.

Well, with that much twist, at least the plow won't be pointed forward that often.

The only reason I know it's not the Windows ME of commenting is because I've seen it do a lot of stupid shit, but I have yet to see it blue screen.

Great lulz. And now mr dude's guide to determine what j2.0 is based on:
ME - you installed j2.0 more than a month ago
XP - each bug you identify is ignored or denied, but finally fixed three years later
Vista - you haven't paid this month's Jalopnik gold subscription
MacOS - you can only run it on opera, in a cafe with wifi, wearing square rim glasses
UNIX - it's currently 2038
Facebook - Syrax pm's you to claim you used to date in high school
AIM - your roomie turned the j2.0 sounds on so you hear a stupid chime every time someone comments
/b/ - everyone comment is a senseless meme
Gizmodo - every article is really boring

I do like the approval system though. Hence why I changed my name :)

Script errors huh? I guess that would mean it's based on the Transformers 2 platform
