The a/c shuts off at WOT and high rpm's on all cars. It's there because the a/c compressor will build up too much pressure and the relief valve will vent your refrigerant out if not.

I found no mention of a WOT cutout in either the wiring diagrams or the factory manuals. There is, however, a pressure switch just past the compressor that will shut the compressor down above a certain pressure. This likely performs the function of a WOT cutout.
Interesting that my '95 SHO has a dedicated WOT cutout, and this car doesn't.

The looks of the '13s are growing on me. When they first came out I didn't like the front or rear of the car. I traded in an '08 for one reason - 420 HP. I think the '08s have a nicer looking front although I'm getting to like the new front a little more than I did before. I now like the rear better than the '08 - the dark plastic looks especially nice against a bright color like yours. The '13 rides nicer also. Good luck with yours.
