You lost me here. Corporate issued the document with pricing therein. It's early in the process but these are indeed the numbers they have assigned. They reserve the right to change pricing whenever they so choose but this is indeed legit.
The submission for EPA approval, the "Certificate of Conformity" has not been approved (or released) yet. If the vehicle failed and had to be, let's say, recalibrated, the HP number could change. Unlikely, but Ford will have the opportunity to release power figures when everything gets the ok...

The cars are listed as VSKK0 - "Shelby Version #2."
Brake system is FEDAK0 - "GT500...
Imagine the stories we'll never hear from him about what went on behind closed doors these past few years. Please Dave, write a book and spill the beans. All of them!

I don't have the door stickers for the '26 DH SC cars but you should be able to substitute the corresponding numbers from these two GT500's...
