You and a few others.
The point of the new 5.0 is to give the Mustang something the 2010 was lacking.
Power to challenge the Camaro SS.
Also it is a first of a kind motor for Ford.

Now there are some minor cosmetic changes for 2011.
Pony emblem blacked out on front grill. The 5.0 badges as you mentioned. The rear has a minor change to lower black piece that runs along the bottom of the car, can't remember the exact term for that piece. I also believe the exhaust tips are a little different. The Brembo brake package will get wheels only available on the 2011.

As far a buying a used Shelby of Saleen it is a used car.
Not new.
They maybe a lot less common that a 5.0 ,but the price is a little ridiculous for those cars for average people to afford, especially when they are new.

As for performance since no numbers have been released so how can you make any kind of informed statement about performance ?

Also I am getting a little tired when reading post on the 2011 5.0 then seeing a reply similar to " Would rather have a used Shelby or whatever than a 2011 5.0."
That's fine, buy what you like no one is twisting your arm to buy a 2011.
But if you are not going to contribute anything useful to the post why reply ?
Because most people don't really care.

Thank you for letting me vent.
I feel better now.
