Alright guys, so obviously both are great cars in their own right but given the different platforms, powerplants and suspension configurations they're obviously different enough. Which would you guys prefer as a daily that would see occasional track use? I know that the RS3 is considered overpriced but cost aside which would you go with?

Thanks for your input.

'13/'14 GT-500 without a doubt. For the reasons stated above and because I like the styling overall better.

The GT500. Roush isn't bad second-hand since they depreciate a lot, but buying a new (or new-ish) one is a LOT of money for what you get.

Not a fan of their s550 bumper, either.

gotta be the 13-14 shelby but i might be a little bias. if you can get a much better deal on the roush then it might be worth looking at one seriously

Shelby.

And there is a great, already modded one in the for sale on here now.

2014, blue, stripes, and a huge Whipple. I am drooling looking at it myself.

And I need another car like i need a hole in the head.

I'd listen to the overwhelming majority (aside from the obligatory nonsensical post) and go with the Shelby.

Only thing the RS3 has going for it is the ability to get a signature.

All opinions are going towards the Shelby. But if you want to be unique and different then go for the Roush.

GT500 for the fact that it's a factory built car. The Roush is obviously built well too but it's just a bunch of aftermarket parts bolted to a GT. Their styling is also not my taste at all, but everyone has a different opinion on that sort of thing.
