There is a group of guys trying to get the NMRA to create a new class for the 5.0 4v Coyote.

However, it will be a heads-up class based on the Pure Street rules. It would be open to all 1979 and later Fords with the new 5.0 4v.
The chassis rules are similar to Stock Eliminator.
The 2011-2012 Mustang GTs are already allowed in Real Street.

Sure it matters if it is not a bowtie. Those guys got that thing burned into their forehead, and really can't stand it for another brand to go fast. 1968, dejavue again. Most of yall ain't old enough to have been through it back then. Some things don't change, and the bowtie thing is one.

Yeah, Jeff, I'm too young to remember. LOL. Had two Fords, an Olds and a '48 Plymouth with a Hemi in it before I ever owned a Chevy. Starting in '60. I'm as old as you. Remember?
