The big difference is the Shelby Mustangs are Ford Factory endorsed (factory warranty); the Saleen is not.
In the mid 1980's I was a Ford rep in LA and the warranty problems w/the Saleen's soured many customers. If there was a warranty issue with the Saleen 'conversion' the customer was lead to believe the 'Ford' warranty would cover all. In actuality, the 'authorized Saleen dealer' was to fix the problem(s) and seek reimbursement from Saleen.
Not the best arrangement for the car owner.
