Won't work with your plate placement, but it is possible to make it functional (and symmetric )

Haven't yet installed, but the guy selling the kit on that Shelby site includes grade 8 bolts, quite beefy. The bumper on stock GTs isn't reinforced like the race models, so care when extricating from any off-track excursion is needed, but it's better than hooking up to the subframe or worse.

No doubt -- this would be just for flat towing for a dead car, on or close to the track. Definitely not made for winching out of a ditch or up a hill. Though it's not a simple sheetmetal support, either -- the guys in that thread that did the install said the drilling part was quite difficult.
It is possible to buy the reinforced bumper support from the FR500, don't know what it would be like to install, though.

Assuming the person's still conscious, directing the recovery efforts is always a good idea.
