Default Re: 2012 Mustang 5.0

Mike:
There is a proposed new 5.0 Coyote class that may very well happen next year within the NMRA. (heads up format of course)

Based very close to Pure Street class build guidelines, I noticed where a Stock Eliminator car could easily fit the rules by swapping in one of those crate engines.

The whole idea centers around Ford's 5.0 Coyote crate engine. Guys could put a stock crate 5.0 into any 1979-2012 Mustang and 79-93 Fox bodies....3100 lbs min.

Anyway, here is a link to the proposal. I sure hope Ford gets on board with this.

Alan, I too have followed this thread and there will be strict restrictions with zero tuning or changing of the EFI computer setup, and the engines will be sealed allowing zero changes to anything as well. I dont necessarily have a big problem with this, as it is meant to be a drivers class and you have to invest in your chassis setup. My problem is like anything else with the NMRA or the NMCA thats involves a clutch, and manula transmission. Unless you run Hot Street, or Pro Stock you are restricted to the stock diaphragm style clutch, and no straight cut gears in the transmissions.

What caught my interest was the fact that a Stock Eliminator racer that is very savy with chassis set-up knowledge could do well in this proposed class.

There is talk of allowing C-4 transmissions w/brakes but without any weight breaks for the autos.

I mentioned in that thread about re-wording the rule regarding tire diameter limits. I would like to see a 28 in. tall tire max...instead of the 26" rule. Lots of guys can tune a 28" setup well, plus it will give more choices for gear selection.

I have confidence this class will catch on. However, the problem is how do you prevent it from becoming yet another "run-away wallet" class ?
