The Shelby is cheaper because I won't be tempted to cut up the fenders and widen them, or build a new more powerful engine, or simply get carried away modifying things to try to run toward the top of the heap.
Replacing axle bearings and normal things is no biggie. I think the Mustang, overall is simply just a little more reliable from my experience running it while waiting almost a year for the Camaro's engine to be built.
If I throw a set of good tires on it and it is almost as fast as the Camaro, all bets are off and I won't be able to help myself trying to make it faster.
