I get your point with regard to the SVT products. I could have been more clear about pointing out that while Ford was doing the SVT products, some with the Shelby name, Shelby American was producing a whole different, more potent line of "Shelby" products that were definitely in place to compete with Corvette and Porsche. They were pushing out 450 - 800+ hp Shelby Mustangs when the 505 hp Z06 was a "gamechanger".
