Shelby GT500, otherwise save your money and buy a normal GT.

Have you looked at the Roush? It stomped the Shelby in the Top Gear test track test. It was like a full second quicker around the circuit with 40 less horsepower. (numbers might be slightly off). I would personally buy a roush stage 3 of i had that kind of money, but whatever you like is gonna be great.

i agree, the roush are much more appealing and the power is nice also.

The price and the power of the Roush are appealing. However, i find the styling rather ricey, some of the panels look downright cheap. The Saleen is elegant and smooth and as for the Shelby...well, it's a SHELBY!

I don't think you could do wrong with any of the 3.

it all depends on how much you're willing to spend; with the additional amount you often have to pay to get a GT500 (they're very hard to get and the waiting list is long), you could just get a Saleen S281 Extreme, with 500 horses (can have more) and it weighs about 30 pounds more than the stock GT, and I guarentee it would stomp a Roush
