yea he said the driver weighs 198lbs...

 

Said the first pass was a 12.88 @ 111mph w/ a 2.06 60ft time on the stock tires.

 

Another update:

Evolution Performance, Inc. First Pass - 12.88@111mph with a 2.06 60ft with stock 19" Tires!

 

Just read that, like i always mentionned, 12.8- 12.7 110- 112 mph. That is great news. Motor Trend numbers.

 

I don't think the car is stock anymore. Unless all the testing and tuning they were talking about doing was on another of their 5.0s.

 

Evolution Performance, Inc. Not many changes tuning wise, still testing! Only suspension changes done is our ultimate suspension kit - upper and lower control arms, panhard bar and torque box braces! No more wheel hop!

 

They posted this as a reply to questions if the car was tuned and had suspension work, "Not many changes tuning wise, still testing! Only suspension changes done is our ultimate suspension kit - upper and lower control arms, panhard bar and torque box braces! No more wheel hop!".

 

Yeah, not quite stock, lol.

 

Well, he hasn't mentionned anything before going to the track, so i'm assuming they kept it stock. Even his last report on Facebook says he's running stock rubbers. I'm pretty sure it is still stock. Their doing some exhaust mods tomorrow or something.

 

Comments section ascribes it to have their Ultimate Suspension Kit consisting of upper and lower control arms, panhard bar, and torque box braces. Apparently that took care of the wheel hop. Didn't this one get the exhaust replaced too?

 

I'm pretty sure they could achieve similar numbers without suspension changes. Maybe the wheel hop didn't help E.T's for sure.

 

A set of M/T is next, that should get interesting.

 

If the tune is still factory stock and the exhaust is factory then it could be representative of a run a stock one could make.

2.06 60ft time and a 12.88 mean the car has a decent bit left in it with some traction.

However if the car is tuned and/or the exhaust is not stock these runs are not representative at all of a stock 5.0.

 

Tuning and suspension changes = not stock anymore no matter how little they changed in the tune, or how little the suspension parts may or may not have helped.

Once the cars get out into the hands of more folks, bone stock times will come down. Given that is is just about May, it might be fall before we see some really good stock times though.

 

indeed, mid-low 12's

 

When is the A/T going to be run. I'm curious what it will do.

 

Second run on the suspension car, 12.85 seconds, track sloppy they say, 2 second 60'.

 

A little bit sad they didn't go for a couple more stock runs before making any changes.

 

they have the M/T's on!!

 

Now we're talking!!
