2012 Mustang 5.0
Hey Guys. Does anyone know if NHRA has classified the Mustang 5.0. Originally I thought E/S-E/SA and F/S-F/SA, but can't find the info.
Thanks, TC |

Re: 2012 Mustang 5.0
So far, they only show the 2012 Cobra Jets in the classification guide.
I wish they would list the 2011 and 2012 5.0 Stangs as well.

Re: 2012 Mustang 5.0
I'll be surprised if it gets in the guide this year, plus dont plan on it being underated like the Cobra Jets and Challengers, plan on being in A,B,C right off the get go. The real cars get factored correctly for some reason dont ask me why......

5.0 motor will be in the classification guide sometime mid 2011. It should rated around hp275.

I went 12.28 @ 114.4 on the OEM tires @ Cecil County in December. The only modification to the car was a computer tune. The DA was -800ish and the car was full weight, jack and spare included. |

That 315 hp engine listed in the 2010 classification guide is the 3 valve "Hot Rod" crate engine. It is allowed only in the Cobra Jets. It has CNC 3 valve heads, special cams, big throttle body, etc. It is not the factory production line 2010 Mustang 3 valve engine.

Re: 2012 Mustang 5.0
The 2012 5.0 rated at 412 would make a very competitive race car in the right hands.
*Competitive with the actual Stock Eliminator cars

Glad to see you on this board. I have been watching your progress on your 2011 GT over at Modular Fords. I would predict NHRA will adjust the shipping weight to 3350 for the automatic (or thereabouts ) in the 2011 guide when it comes out. It will be fun to see the 2011 and 2012 Coyote Mustang GTs in Stock Eliminator.
