Default Glass Roof

This could be a stupid question but can a 2009 or 2010 GT500 come with a glass roof?

I don't think it was an option due to the cars power. Insurance/safety.

I'm about 99.9% sure that they didn't.

Yeah, and the price be going through the roof!!

+1 on the integrity of the ride...
Especially during hard cornering.
Although the S197 body is tough, It could still flex enough to shatter the glass.

Default Glass roof for GT 500

Saw two GT500's at a dealer in Florida. The sales guy said the glass roof is coming to the GT500 as a late availability option. Can anyone else with connections to Ford confirm this?

If it's available on a FRPP GT with trackpack, why not the GT500?

I don't see any reason why you couldn't put it in a GT500. A chunk of glass is a lit stiffer than a metal roof. (heavier though). It's my understanding that the A pillars are from the convertible though, so you'd likely have to see a GT500 convertible out first.

well, the 2009 #1 GT500KR they sold at Barrett-Jackson had a glassroof and they said it would be the only one.
There is no option for one under GT500 in the 2010 brochure.
I just checked and the glass roof wasn't an option on the 2009 GT500 nor the GT500 KR
