I know you're shocked, I am too /sarcasm.
Considering a bone stock, unbroken in auto GT with 20's and 3.15's ran a 12.8 with 87 octane fuel, it's safe to say this car isn't going to be a slowpoke. I'm guessing auto base GT's with proper fuel and 3.55's will be running 12.6's or so bone stock.

Thank you captain obvious!!! We all know that already. Everyone is just curious to how well died made up the weight issue with the added power. Plus the ford camp has been poking fun at the 5th gen cause "real" cars aka drag cars have a solid axle and now ford has blessed them with the hated IRS. It will be fun to watch all the guys wow bashed anyone for saying the ride and handling of the IRS is superior when all they cared about was drag racing. Guess what now they will be the ones talking about how great it rides and how well it handles. Plus even though the car will be able to run a good et odds are most drivers will run slower on average due to the wheel hop. So in the end the 1320 gap in real life just got a little bit closer and this is before the hopefully lighter and more powerful 6th gen drops.
