[QUOTE="Driver72, post: 9872716, member: 105832"] I wouldn't say "no doubt" it looks better. I think the CS looks better from the front, but nothing a Roush front end won't fix for $600-700 The side view of the CS doesn't look as good. The fake, useless tacked on side scoops is kind of sad and the stripe is only "ok" in the looks department. Better to have the 5.0 and a smaller nicer stripe. The rear view is good except the wing is a TINY bit to ricer for me. But just barely. 10% smaller and it would pass. I do like the carbon fiber interior look, though it's fake too. I completely disagree. The Brembo brake package is much more than just the Brembo brakes, though putting them on a CS car won't be easy or cheap, as you'd need to buy a different set of wheels too. Even if you never road race the car the Brembos are not a waste. That's like saying having the sport suspension on a car you don't plan on racing is a waste. Anytime you can get better braking (that could potentially save your life) not too mention better tires that give you more grip, better handling and more control for a factory warrantied option at the price they offer, it's a bargain. Further more, the Brembo brake wheels/tires are not only better, but lighter and wider. The wheels/tires on the CS are the heaviest of them all. So you get slower acceleration, worse braking and steering as well (compounded on top of the fact the Brembo brake optioned car gets the best steering calibration Ford offers on the 2011 GT for best feel and response). The fact of the matter is the CS is an appearance package, plain and simple. One could argue it's a factory "riced" option package, even though I do feel it looks classy, just not the best. For it to really be special, they should of given it the Brembo brake package and maybe an exhaust that not only sounded a bit meaner but added 5-10 hp. Then made it a $3500 option. Then it would be not only an appearance package but also a performance package all bundled into one. Get the Brembo brake package and then modify the appearance of your car as you wish/see fit. Then you have the best performance option you can get and you truly have a "special" looking car too. [/QUOTE]
