That car was strong. It would make my SS look like a slouch.

I am not understanding the Mustang 5.0. There are some who claim the 5.0 runs very low 12s bone stock and then there are some that run very mediocre 13s. I am well aware that the track and the driver make a lot of difference, but here in TN the 5.0s aren't running near as strongly as they apparently are elsewhere. Seriously, in 50-60 degree weather at the last T&T at Memphis, there were 5 5.0s and the fastest ran a 12.98 and he had exhaust and tune at a minimum. So, I don't doubt your car could run mid 12s, but of the 5 that I've run from bone stock to mildly modded, none came close to my Camaro in it's bone stock form and then in bolt on form. Just sayiin.
