Default '13 5.0 vs '96 Volvo 850R

Went to the track today driving my buddies '13 5.0 and had some fun on the way back with a friend.

Best I could manage today was a 12.7@110.4, hitting the limiter at the traps in 4th. This was on street tires, 2.0 60' and 2000 DA. The car moves pretty well I must say, wouldn't mind having one. DR's, good air, and I don't see the car having any problems hitting 12.3/12.4 which isn't too far off the "hype" lol. Anyways, onto the race.


'13 Mustang 5.0 - 3.73 Package, Axle Back Muffler Delete, 6 Speed

'96 Volvo 850R - 16T, NA Cams, Intake/Exhaust, E85, 5 Speed 13.8 @ 108 (2.4 60')


Only got one run in, Volvo is a quick little ****** and surprises a lot of people. Sorry for the lack of LSX


40 Roll

Too soon Junior haha. He got out for a second because of the break boosting.

what do those things do stock? My coworker has one and he always raves about how great they are (other the riding like the shocks are welded solid).
