It's important to note that, according to Ford, the 2016 Shelby GT350R doesn't have a speed limiter. Rather, it's limited to approximately 170 mph by its aero. ALSO SEE: Shelby GT350 turns into fireball after flames kill brakes at 100 mph From the looks of this video, gearing also plays a role in that top speed.

The car has only two options, a $475 "Over-The-Top"...
