another 12.7 stock run

looks like it wasnt a fluke, not a magazine this time

appears mike (from powerhouse) ran a 12.9, 12.8 and two 12.7s (12.78 and 12.77) in his '11 5.0

not sure specs on it (gears, etc) but im assuming its at least a MT car

edit, guess it had 3.31s

3.31 gears and the stock 235/50 18 tires? That's some good driving. Cool.

Posted where?

I sure would like to see the time slip, be nice to see the 60' and trap speed.

The 3.31's probably make it easier to launch on the street tires.

Mike ripped a 12.9 off of it, and today, at Atco, he ran a 12.81, a 12.78 and a 12.77! These new mustang power plants are simply bad ***!

I think the question now is could he run better with the 3.73s (and maybe the Pirellis) or if all of us who paid extra for that have been duped.

I saw that car run today. I did not notice the window sticker! I was wondering if it was stock. Wow. It looked like it had more left in it. I wonder what 3,000 miles will do for it.

Did the Evolution 5.0 run today? I only saw it sitting in the pits.
