[QUOTE="PowerUp, post: 11836991, member: 137968"] I think some of the confusion is coming from the Car and Driver "preview" drive-along. [I]Speaking of mass, there will also be a convertible version of the GT500, as before. And though, theoretically, any 2013 Shelby should have the muscle to hit 200 mph, Ford will govern the top speed of the convertible to 155 mph or so, the current Shelby’s speed limit. The heavier convertible has a softer suspension and no rollover hoop. [B]It’s also likely that the Shelby coupe without the Performance and Track packages may be governed, due to cooling issues—the Track package adds engine-, transmission-, and differential-lubricant coolers. After all, SVT says the Shelby coupe weighs 3850 pounds, and its powertrain generates a lot of heat.[/B][/I] [url=http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2013-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-prototype-ride-review-feels-like-a-bmw-page-2]Feels Like a BMW?[/url] IIRC that information was published elsewhere too. So what is the REAL black and white answer? [/QUOTE]
