It was my understanding that the under aeros were part of the SVTPP. Is this true or was it standard for all 2011's?

I made that list over 3 years ago and was pretty thorough with my research but I have been known to be wrong from time to time.
I would get the 10 and super snake it 
that's what I want anyways

Holds true for someone who is going to stay stock but it isn't worth the extra money if you're going to replace the majority of this list with aftermarket parts anyway. Everyone is different though. To me the only substantial change was the block though. Everything else would be upgraded anyways.
I wouldn't say everything except the block. You cant mod the ECU and its dual knock sensors which adjust the timing vs using IAT tables on pre 11's which give the the tuner much more freedom when tuning, the parts and tuning which allow it to make peak power at its 6,250 rpm red line, the electric steering, auto start ignition, factory HID's which cost an arm and a leg if you dont have them, glass roof and a few other things that pre 11 owners dont usually add like the extra sound denoting, blue wrinkle coat valve covers, silver supercharger, blind spot mirrors, etc.
For me I would spend the extra $2-3K for a 2011-12 over a 2010 without blinking an eye and maybe a little bit more is its a PP with glass roof. To me a 2010 feels like a tank behind the wheel by comparison. Sure the 2010 can be modded to to make big power but its never going to be able to over come its 120lb weight disadvantage most of which lies over the front tires.

wide band o2 is the big thing i wish i had. i also like the idea of aluminum block, and no power steering pump. but you see plenty of fast 2010 cars....
Glad I read this, makes me feel better about my decision to find an 11.

K member, A arms, radiator support, and light weight battery will reduce the front end weight significantly. I'm with you about the computer but things like the electric steering (don't trust), auto start ignition, factory HID's, glass roof, extra sound denoting (which adds weight), blue wrinkle coat valve covers, silver supercharger (does nothing), and blind spot mirrors are all non performing non performance items. You can drop an easy 150+ lbs off a 2010 just replacing parts that most change out on 10-14's. Like I said though theres no right or wrong choice and depends on what you're doing with it. I love them all 07-14.

Can't go wrong with either IMO. I got the 10 new and could have gotten an 11. At the time no one knew for sure how the 11 block would hold up. I've raced 11-12s in my car stock and with similar mods. I've never lost. It really all comes down to the driver.
10 has duel knock sensors too. Just not wideband. 10 has the ability to read IAT2 via a aeroforce. 11+ does not.
glad i read this, makes me feel better about my decision to buy a 2010.
I did a full Griggs suspension on my '09 Shelby which is why I'm driving a Boss today.
Def.no regrets with 10'!!!!
