Thanks for sharing!

The V6 cars a crazy fast also!

How consistant is it though?

Do you know roughly what the car weighed in at on that pass?

My car is a base model and I will find out for you the next time I go to Woodburn Dragway and let you know.

That would be a 2012 Cobra Jet body with a Coyote 5.0 based "crate" engine.

The last time a Mustang GT was legal in Stock was the 2008 model and NHRA rated that 4.6 3V @ 300 hp.

The 2010 CJ with the 4.6 3V is rated @ ONLY 232 hp..........what a joke. It should be more like 322 hp. Maybe someone at NHRA has the numbers inverted ?


Sharp looking Coyote GT you have David!
Love that white color.

Never mind

Almack,
Thanks for the clarification. Can you tell me this... what keeps someone from going out and buying a new gt and just claiming in as 5.0 CJ?

I wish I could answer your question because the 2012 Mustang 5.0 is one of the better values on the market.My base model with a auto trans was $27,900.00.

I would guess you could as long as the car had all the same equipment as the race only version.

The very first Drag Pak to race was built from a V-6 Challenger, not a Mopar kit, so it is legal to do so.

Yeah I guess you would obviously have to compare the part #'s on the engine specs with the production GT. I guess that would be a good question for Jesse Kershaw.
