Not sure if there's a thread comparing a 5.0 to roush conversation vs a 5.0 to Shelby GT conversion but what are the pros and cons? What are others opinions of either conversion?

Roush pros:

looks better, is cheaper.

Shelby pros:
you are getting the name.

Roush cons:

You can build one cheaper with your own parts

Shelby cons:

Shelby is ugly as hell.
Can definitely build one cheaper
Performs poorly in latest test

Quick summary on my thoughts.

How is building one cheaper with your own parts a con lol? Isn't that another pro?

Well I consider it a con to buying the Roush. You're spending the money on the name. It's definitely a pro to build one cheaper, but it's a con if you are already buying a Roush.

True by name.

But you may not be aware that the gt350 is entirely a Ford engineered car with the Shelby badge licensed.

The actual Mustangs that Shelby modifies now are a far cry from that.

Which actually makes me sad.

Shelby leadership needs to get some vision and act like a startup, making a NEW name for themselves in today's era.

The 1960's had their run. Let's do something new that's actually amazing and great, guys.

Hire some chassis engineers if you have to and start killing it.

But definitely for the love of all that is holy, hire an art director and graphic designers with modern taste...

The shelby superfake :D

Shelby has the name.

Roush has the looks.

Doing it yourself has the price/performance.

Is there a program with roush such as the one with Shelby where you take in your 5.0 and they turn it into an official vehicle ?

Alright, had to post this somewhere... They make Roush V6? Really? I'm all about the V6, probably will end up with one, but a $40K V6 Mustang? I even get the $60K Roush package. You got the money for a Porsche, but prefer the Mustang, it's different, I get it.. But the Roush V6? I'm glad they make some parts for me if I choose but I'll quote Rick James here.
