If you had to choose between the two which one would you choose n wich one u think is better and why?
They both got here upsides between the two
My choice would be another 87 saleen hatchback I think they look the best the rear valence of that year had vortex generator pretty trick n what the f1 rear valance was designed off of

I've never owned either of these, so it's hard to make a well thought out decision. Based on what I know and have seen it seems the Saleens are not as common. I've seen several 93 Cobras, but only remember seeing one Fox Saleen in person. I too like the look of the Saleen over the Cobra. Who knows which will be worth more many years down the road, but that would probably be the Cobra.
Based on these ideas I'd just pick the Saleen because I really like White on cars

I'd take a saleen foxbody over a 93 cobra. But I like both cars..... But I'd take a saleen s-351 over both cars.
That to me is THE best looking car he's made.

Saleen because it has way more disscontinued parts like seats dash etc. little things they dnt make anymore.but i like the look of the 93 more.

I'm surprised more people didn't choose the cobra just because it was only in 93 1year deal and it was faster, not sure if it handled just as well but I think the 93 cobra should have come with its own interior style IMO

There were more cobras produced in that one year than all the foxbody saleens from 84 to 93.

The color on your Cobra is more of an eye catcher though imo.

I'd get the Saleen. Too easy to replicate the 93 cobra and there's a bunch out there. The Saleen is just more rare and to me, better looking when in original condition.

I would go for a Saleen, more rare, but also cost more money!

Both are stock. Saleen handles likes it's on rails, Cobra got a little bit more heat being a cobra motor vs stock 5.0 in the Saleen.

Saleen handles NO BETTER than any mustang you drop on the bump stops, stock Saleen fox suspension is NOTHING SPECIAL! Cobra is a better car and will be worth more in the future.

You're right, the Saleen suspension isn't anything special. Compared to modern setups from companies like MaximumMotorsports and Griggs... but in the 80's and early 90's, when these cars were new, stock to stock a Saleen would run circles around a '93 Cobra...
nearly 5,000 Cobra's were made in 1993... alone. Around half that many Saleen Mustang's were made from 1984 til 1993... total...
As for the particular car the OP is looking at, just 238 Saleen hatchbacks were made in 1987.
If we were talking about the Cobra R, I could see it being more valuable in the future than a Saleen... but a non-R '93 Cobra?
