I went 12.28 @ 114.4 on the OEM tires @ Cecil County in December. The only modification to the car was a computer tune. The DA was -800ish and the car was full weight, jack and spare included. |

Glad to see you on this board. I have been watching your progress on your 2011 GT over at Modular Fords. I would predict NHRA will adjust the shipping weight to 3350 for the automatic (or thereabouts ) in the 2011 guide when it comes out. It will be fun to see the 2011 and 2012 Coyote Mustang GTs in Stock Eliminator.

Re: 2012 Mustang 5.0
If it is classified in E/S-E/SA or F/S-F/SA , I think you could drive to the track, put on some DR's open the headers and be able to run the index with a tune and simple bolt-ons. Granted not be very competitive. Just like the old old days. It sure would be fun tho

Re: 2012 Mustang 5.0
I'm confused with the "if it gets classified as an...". Aren't the weight specs already out? The horsepower is 412. The weight is 3680-something or other which makes it a B car.
Am I missing something or are we playing the.......What number is Ford going to make up this time game?

That 315 hp engine listed in the 2010 classification guide is the 3 valve "Hot Rod" crate engine. It is allowed only in the Cobra Jets. It has CNC 3 valve heads, special cams, big throttle body, etc. It is not the factory production line 2010 Mustang 3 valve engine.
