I am now so sorry that I included the final paragraph about some differences between Roush Mustangs and Saleen Mustangs that I have deleted it from my post. Roush versus Saleen really has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make. I initially included that paragraph hoping to prevent someone alse from bringing up Roush because they felt that I had overlooked Roush. Instead, including the paragraph caused Rogue Leader to focus on Roush versus Saleen and ignore the real question I was asking.
My point was this: SMS will add a supercharger to the stock block and heads of a 5.7L Challenger R/T (plus other stuff, of course) and charge $60K for it. Fairly obvious that SMS will be doing the same things to a 1SS Camaro and charge the same $60K for it. A lot of posters seem to dislike Saleen, so we need to eliminate him and SMS from the equation. So, other than SMS, whose tuner Camaro would you pay $60K for, if they left the LS3 block and heads totally stock and added a supercharger and the rest of their package?
Would anyone pay any tuner company $60K for a supercharged Camaro that doesn't even have a forged crank and forged connecting rods? If so, what legendary name would make it worth the money? Mustang owners are willing to pay more for models with the Shelby name on them. Is there a name that would make you pay big to have it on your tuner Camaro?
