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 [Smile]

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. [patriot]
That to me is THE best looking car he's made.

91blackonblack is banned from this website for good. Vallejo ghetto drama does not belong on CAFords! Y'all need to find a different website. PLEASE! GTFO and take your ghetto shit with you.

ps- ENGLISH DOES MATTER. How foolish of CAFords, we wrote this on our registration page http://oi49.tinypic.com/2akjm7k.jpg but now realize it's useless because the intended audience CAN'T READ, TYPE OR UNDERSTAND ENGLISH!



His response:

"I just want to say i need some very important info.an the onl way was through a friend to help me find that info.but you guys are some fucking bitches that hide behind ur fucking computer all damn day.you fucking bastards racist piece of shyt.exspecally with that nazi symbol you guys think is koo.fuck you i hope i fuck ur sisters or wife.punk bitches.you guys are fucking haters.an i hope ur fucking website crashes to.god has the last word.an u guys let that piece of shyt 396 get away with murder.an letting everybody get banned because of his shyt talking.i hope he gets his to from somebody.one day he going to say the wrong thing to somebody.fuck u bitches.you mark ass.bye punks"

At least he's consistent with his views!

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!
