Is a Shelby Cobra of more value than any other Cobra, all thing being equal, just because of the name? Sure it is, that "fact" may be disputable and controversial to some, but it's still a fact.

The Roush name carries a lot of weight, it's a good marketing tool, just like the Shelby name is. It's a good product, just like in general the Shelby products are good quality.

Is it better than a Keith Craft or Gessford built motor? No! In fact I'd put my money on a Gessford motor, if for no other reason than the personal attention ot detail that comes with it. It's like YOU personally are "involved" with the building of the engine. Thats pretty cool and very important to me.
