It's my car in question here guys, and to answer your concerns, yes, the axle backs are aftermarket. Pypes Pype Bombs muffler deletes to be exact.
So to be clear, the car in question is a 2012 GT, 5.0 with the manual 6 speed and 3.55 gears. The only mods are the axle back and a canned tune from VMP Tuning in Florida. On the day in question, we had a DA of -1150 at race time (temps in the low 40's) and the crew at MIR did a very good job with track prep. Here are my slips from that day, in order of time ran -
Ask any questions you might have, I'll do my best to answer them, but to answer the one that seems to be bothering most of you, yes, it's still breathing through the stock air box and paper filter and has an axleback system and a canned tune (dyno'd locally to verify a/f but not tweaked, yet).

Sorry, not buying it.

Yes, it does, with just that, and a driver that's been doing this for over 30 years. And yes, I was just as shocked as the rest of you when I saw the photos. Ford seems to have gotten it mostly right this time around. Now, if they'd just find a "real" transmission!
And to settle any concerns about the mods on this car, if anyone here is local to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I'd be more than happy to meet up and show the car for what it is. I'm usually off Thursday through Saturday if anyone is interested.
