The exclusivity is definitely there but just doesn't quite have the aesthetics of the Fox Saleens but that's a personal preference. Plenty of exceptional cars in the background too!
Roush built a prototype Mustang back in 1987 for Ford that was a 5.8 twin turbo that was supposed to be the 1989 25th Anniversary car and it had body work that was very similar to what became the 1993 Cobra(it was even a red color that looks like Vibrant Red)...so Roush gets the credit for influencing the 1993 Cobra...not SAAC. The car is still in the Roush private collection. Revan Evan did a video about it in 2021.
I believe you’ve proven my point that there are a lot of assumptions drawn on where the influence came from. No one at Ford has ever said specifically what it was. I have magazines with articles on that Roush car from 25+ years ago. I could see where the idea is viable too. The SAAC cars had A LOT in common with the 93 Cobra. More parts than the one off custom prototype Roush did for 1989. The 93 cobra had a cast GT40 style intake and iron GT40 heads which were cast and iron versions of what was used on the SAAC cars. The side skirts and details of the SAAC more closely resemble the 93 cobra than the Roush prototype to me. I’ve been around both cars and I’m making my own conclusions. To each their own. Either way, it’s a good thing the 93 cobra happened because ever since 1993, Ford has had a high performance Mustang in the lineup. One could argue that without the 93 Cobra we wouldn’t have the modern GT500’s or the GTD. Things would likely look different than they are now.
Yup! He and I chatted a good bit about both cars. Kendal is a great guy! Plus the other cars he has are select as well. Mark knows him really well. Just need to make a trip and we can do video on those rare pieces there.

Absolutely amazing cars!
Excuse me if I'm distracted by the white #9 M81 McLaren Mustang in the background.
Owner is top notch! Has a great collection too.
@@PuristMotorsports He also has the #2 M81 race car and ALL the SVO's!

I remember these. Beautiful cars.
Hopefully you seen a 2nd and a third edition
$50+k for a '90s Foxbody was craaaaaazy money back then ! Whats the book on the SAAC cars now, 100k ?
Around that for sure now. And that price was for the less expensive MkII. 😳 you could buy a 911 for equal or less.
51k is 115k in today’s money.
