Really? Na man, that hardly cuts it. One internet claim of this 12.2 glory pass is all it takes for you to believe that 5.0s are low 12 second cars stock?
That run might be legit (not likely), but its going to take a little more than you googling and finding a single claim to make me believe they're low 12 second cars stock, sorry.
These guys are on the same page as myself... http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...-73-gears.html

we might see a glory pass of a 12.2 on a 5.0, but i think mid 12s is a more realistic average good run.
I thought the 392 had it hands down over the 5.0 from things i was seeing online when they first came out, now i'd have to say it's close after the numbers you guys posted. and the 392 is still new, give it some time maybe we'll even see a 12.0 out of them. gotta hope they are faster if you are paying 15,000 more than a 5.0
price-wise they are closer to competing with a GT500.

....didnt a stock boss go 11.6x on drs?
Heres a stock 2011 with sticky tires and it went 12.12 @ 114.

Plenty of these cars have gone mid 12s off the showroom floor...
add an awesome driver and some nice cool air at a fast track and 12.20s-12.30s seems very plausible to me
regardless off what you believe, a 392 srt8 vs a 5.0 is a drivers race and it could go either way

Thats great about the boss and the other 5.0s on tires, but we're talking about stock cars. Never said it wasn't impossible either, so take it easy. You think they're low 12 cars, fine. I don't. Mid 12s with above average drivers and good air from what I've seen.

I was saying what they are capable of because someone mentioned the 392 ran 12.3...but that is also under optimal conditions.
On average its a drivers race, simple as that.
