Default RE: Shelby CS6

Aka those Chrome razors look sharp!

The Paxton is almost exactly the sameas the Vortech HO with some differences in the head unit which is probably relatively minor.
About half of the mod list was part of the Shelby CS6 Turn-2 Kit. The $13k (price has gone down and now includes more decorative parts) does not include paint and labor.
Shelby is also making the Terlingua. Which if you take to one of their certified shops (Las Vegas, Massachusetts, Texas, Oklahoma and soon Florida) to have the conversion done comes as an actual numbered andRegistered Shelby car. The Paxton on it gets pulleyed for more HP, it has an actual extraction hood, slightly better brakes and some of the remaining same or very similar parts. It has a wilder paint scheme which may or may not appeal to you. It will also probably take some time to get the conversion done as Shelby has a habit of releasing/showing prototypes before the conversion parts are widely available.

Or you can do the mods yourself and build the car tohow you want it to look. A lot of people haveinstalled the CS6 front fascia and little or nothing else.The parts are available separately.
Between the superchargers, X-charger, procharger and Vortech/Paxton, it seems to be mostly personal preference. The X-charger being a roots type produces more low-end torque while the remaining centrifiguals produce more power at the higher band of rpms. The procharger and the vortech/paxton have different oiling schemes (self contained internal vs. external oiling).
