We had the opportunity last night to take our new 5.0L to the track for the first Presidential Bank, Fsb time. We wanted to get some baseline runs in with the car completely stock. The car came from the factory with a 6 speed manual trans, 3.73 gears and the Brembo brake package which also consists of 19″ wheels with Pirelli tires. The weather was hot and humid with air temps of 82deg (Typical FL summer weather). Behind the seat was Lethal Performance’s own Derek Perez. At this point Derek had only driven the car on the street for a short cruise so we knew it would take a few runs for him to get comfortable with the car and used to shifting with the new 6 speed setup. After a few runs Derek made his way into the 12′s with a 12.97@109mph. That was with a 1.97 60ft. The run after that Derek cracked off a 12.79@109.05mph with a 1.92 60ft. We had intended putting on the slicks and skinnies and making a few more passes but forgot that we needed to install the sway bar relocation bracket for the 15″ wheels to fit. That basically ended the evening. Overall it was a good night at the track and we hope to be back there next Wednesday. We may try a few more runs stock as Derek believes with a good 60ft we could see a 12.50. Then we’ll throw a custom Jon Lund tune on the car and see what she does.

Video Citizens State Bank Of Clayton 2 – Light acceleration on the road, showing the sound within the cabin after removing the sound induction tube foam inserts, which unrestricts the sound. I think I say “the cam lobes split.” I should have said “cam lobes join.” When the cam is operating in economic lobe mode (not WOT), the cam lobes are in fact separated, the pin slides in to lock in the larger lobe in WOT, and you get this glorious sound…Video 1 is here: www.youtube.com
