Yesterday, I met up with some friends from
www.mustangcollective.com for a private track rental at Maryland Int'l Raceway. I took my 2012 GT/CS, and ran it for the first time. The car is a stock 5.0L/auto (except for GT500 mufflers), with 3.15:1 gears and 19" OEM Pirelli tires. Here are a couple of pictures that have been posted up so far -
The burnout picture was done strictly for the camera. Heating up street tires like that makes for a slippery launch. Track prep was great, but if the car started spinning I got outa the gas quickly to avoid trouble. I made over 12 passes, for a best ET of 12.898 at 110.71mph, with a 60' of 2.030 seconds (launching from idle). I had a GREAT time, and it was nice catching up with friends that I only get to see 1-2 times a year. Plus it's nice to know that my daily driver is a solid 12-second car.
