End of an Era, so whats next?

So, the last time i checked Ford's contract with Shelby expires once the 2012 model year is up, and on top of that we all know that 2013 is to be the last year of the current S197 platform.

The question im proposing is,
#1: "Could Ford switch back to the SVT Cobra nameplate, for the 20th anniversary?"

#2: "Will Ford and Shelby re-up their contract...extending it for one more year?"

#2.5: "If not, what would the chances be that Shebly Automotive breaks away and does aftermarket Mustang sorta like what Saleen and Roush do now?"

Now based upon this spectulation from this website: http://blogs.insideline.com/straight...-boss-302.html

One may or may not assume that for 2013 they will be doing possibly something new along the lines of a different Boss?

I have to see what you guys/gals think.

I think it will have to do with sales in the end. Also they make so many Shelbys now days (it seems, I have no real numbers) that they are not very rare and unique anymore. I think Shelby needs to step off the Ford contract and make their own specialty cars.
