Well you can look forward to a little less weight in the new shelby with no spare tire. It says in the pre order pdf that you get a can of fix a flat repair kit instead.

And you get Ford Roadside assistance to rely on.

How is the Ford Roadside Assistance? I have AAA and they are pretty good, but usually slow getting someone out to you.

As for the Fix-a-flat, I guess if you are driving a GT500 around and had a flat, you wouldn't really want to pop on a doughnut spare!

Umm...the car has pretty big breaks...I don't know if they make a spare that big to just "pop" on.

Actually, that's not too bad. Most of the high performance cars now don't have a spare and come with run-flat tires, which arn't the best for performance. Since they are going the fix-a-flat can route they can save money on tires not having to buy expensive run flats (and pass the savings on to you) and get better performing tires.

You could always purchase a spare wheel and tire and keep it in the trunk.

That's probably another $500+ for that on top of $65,000 for the car.
