No, I’m citing a reliable Ford employee on who posts regularly and accurately Mustang6G.com.
It’s more complicated than that. The GT500 with the Carbon Fiber Track Pack (CTFP) option can only be produced in summer (right now in America). This is due to the CTFP coming with super sticky, semi-slick Cup 2 tires. The Cup 2 tires are useless in the wet/snow. So, to meet safety regulations by way of a at-the-factory grip test, they only produce the CTFP in summer. If the regulated grip test was done in winter, the Cup 2s would slide down the ramp and fail. So there is a window to produce the CTFP and it closes in a month or two.
Another reason is there is too much risk to ship/deliver/transport a car with semi-slicks in America’s winter/snow months. So Ford simply doesn’t take the risk. GT500s are shipped on exposed vehicle transporters with normal cars, they do not get the Ferrari treatment.
