Not Ranked
The bar on performance always moves forward. If this is your sole criteria the goal line is always moving on you and you will forever be chasing the latest thing.
There is no one I know of personally that can drive a FGT to it's full potential on the street moreless a road course. Do those guys exist? Yes, but by and large they are professional or very seasoned talented track guys. This applies to the Z06, GT3, Porsche GTS, Viper, GT-R, 430, 360 Scud, ZR1, GT500, ZL1 or any other true performance car.
My point is unless you are really racing (and if you were the car wouldn't remain stock anyway) the incremental jumps in performance are wasted on mere mortals and come down to "bragging" rights.
Buy what you love or as a friend once said to me "moves your soul" and you won't constantly be chasing the moving goal line of performance around every year or every other year.
As far as the FII is concerned, if you love the chasis that much (it is a very nice peice) I would recommend just buying a Series I. It's a real Shelby, it's a very rare and limited Shelby, its the only Shelby that Carroll/SAI built and designed from a clean sheet of paper himself, you can buy in at around $100K and my bet is that it will become a collector item in years to come. That would be my play if I loved the Series one chasis that much.
