I don't have the answer but I would figure around 500. Only SVT dealers are authorized to sell the GT500 in Canada. If I remember correctly, there are 27 or so SVT dealers in Canada. They were initially supposed to get 15 cars each. I read here that theirallocation was ultimately increased to 19, which would mean 513 cars. Even rounding up the numbers to 30 dealers x 20 cars, it's still only 600 cars. 900 would mean over 30 cars per SVT dealer, which seems a bit high IMHO. That being said, I would not be surprised that the total number of cars purhcased in Canada, including imported US cars would approach 900.

I was in Edmonton in the middle of June and they had 5 sitting on the floor. 3 coupes and 2 verts. Wanted 90k for the coupes and 100k for the verts.

I know which dealer you were at then. The other dealer was selling for 70k insteat of 100k, and did a lottery to decide which customers got to buy the cars. I think they got 13 total plus 2 American imports.
