Yep, the market for potential Mustang buyers is much larger than the market for prospective Cobra purchasers.

Additionally, I suspect Shelby makes more money on the Super Snake Mustangs than they do on continuation Cobras (per car).

So they make the lap time look close on the track (don't want to completely throw the Cobra under the bus); and then put slicks on the Mustang and granny shift the Cobra for the quarter mile--to highlight what a great/fast daily driver the Super Snake is.
