The Saleen is a great car and it's the nicest car I have owned. I can't justify having that and the 'bird.

Good to see that you're keeping the Bird.

I throw my vote for a supercharged 5.0-based engine...
Can't beat that for dependability...fun too :D

They're both VERY cool cars and in the long run, you probably couldn't have made a wrong decision. I'm glad the bird is being worked on again though. That thing just drips awesomeness.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
