Sales are a part of it, but not just the shelby's sales numbers, but more importantly the halo car effect. Much like Corvettes and GTR's, this is the car that guys salivate over that get them into the showroom, even if their wife is looking for a grocery getter. This is the car that sits there while the guy salivates over it, and his wife buys a focus or edge or what-have-you, over the similarly priced/equipped cruze/sentra or traverse/murano. The Shelby's most important feature is how it looks on paper and how it looks sitting under showroom lights. And eventually an enthusiast with more money than brains (like me, minus the money part) will come swoop it up from its place of resting.
