2013 Shelby GT500; was there a set number they were going to make? Have sales figures

[bitzman]

been announced? I know with the Boss 302 there was a set number announced from the beginning, so I thought maybe I missed what it is for the GT500. Also on the 1000 model, I'd be curious if Shelby American has announced how many they have orders for.

Also any comments on the one magazine that got the new GT500 on the test track and could only get to 185? I figure that the aftermarket will have some minor fixes that could get it to 200, I talked to the engineer at the auto show and he said something about pulleys and two other minor things that could easily be done to make sure it tops but I didn't write it down, thought I'd see it in the magazines.

For me it's academic, I've only gone 145 mph in a Pantera and was pretty nervous at that speed
