The heavier convertible has a softer suspension and no rollover hoop. 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.
Not to step on anyones toes, but they also predicted the car would start base at 59,000+ dollars.

Hamedi, as someone else has already said, has stated himself, in person, that the coupes will NOT be limited in any way, shape, or form.
