I agree here too! Not saying that the Shelby can't run a 11.5 in fact with those trap speeds I know it can. That being said if 11.5 was something you could easily achieve Ford would have posted 11.5 1/4 mile to press long before now. Does Ford have any printed material you get with the car or for marketing with manufacturing specs? Most cars have in their brochures what their 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile times are??
