I expect that the 2015 Mustang Ecoboost will be able to do it if Ford puts it in the guide.

Sorry guys I guess my reading comprehension skills on this post bad.. If we ever change back to the SVO we will have to because it runs j/s.. We have now changed back to the 84 gt turbo car.. Should be out in a few weeks..

Why would they want to put something in the guide that anyone can walk into a dealer showroom, buy and race competitively?

If recent history has shown us anything, they would probably build a few $100K special non streetable Ecoboost pieces and pass them off as Stock eliminator cars for the lower classes. It don't seem to be too hard to get a new "anything" put in the guide.

they have put all of the regular production Mustangs in the guide recently up through 2014.

When you say lower classes do you mean A/s B/s C/s because that is the ET's they will be running right out of the box with just tuning and race gas.

Stock V6 3.5l ecoboost 365hp 5000rpm 420 torque at 2500 rpm in pickup now/ more horsepower and torque than 5.0l and almost same as 6.2 iron block from factory, it is also a 4 valve motor and that horsepower rating is at 5000rpm. Quick tune in a mustang and it will be 10's a good tuner/builder will have it 9's in a mustang in no time Think what the buick turbo regal 2 valve motor almost 30 years ago did.

the ecoboost that is going to be used in the 2015 Mustang is a four cylinder.

The 2014 Mustang with the 227 V6 engine is shown as 260 horsepower in the class guide, but the V6 Mustang you buy at the dealer is 305 horsepower.

Re: Has there ever been a 4 cyl. car run in the 11's in Stoc
 

You would rather race it at 305?

I have also looked into building a Turbo Solstice/Sky Stocker. They look good, are pretty light and slick aerodynamically.

Down sides are it's short wheel base (only 95"), and the lack of visibility out the rear of the car, especially trying to look into the right lane for those Copos, DPs & CJs that you know are coming.

The Solstice was available as a coupe with a removable targa top in 2009, which would be better aero than the rag-top & seemingly make fitting the roll bar easier.

MY2009 isn't in the Guide, but the car is listed as a "Coupe" in the Guide for MY2006-08. Would this be considered a "paper car" like the '98 Camaro/Firebird with the LT1 motor?

Re: Has there ever been a 4 cyl. car run in the 11's in Stoc
 

Would you rather the car be classed at the 305 factory horsepower or at 260 if it happened to be in your class?

305 would fall in G/S while 260 falls in K/S. That's quite a difference!!!!!
