Went to the track last night and made a couple of passes.....First one was just myself and the second one was against a 5.0 with probably the worse driver known to mankind
Mustang 106 mph trap speed is not a six banger but that guy couldn't drive if his life depended on it or It would have been a different story.
106 trap speed should be good for a high 12 second pass. I love my Ram but my older 5.0 has been 13 flat with a 103 trap speed.
He was on street tires for sure with a 60 ft that bad. My old 99 Dakota had 60 ft's that slow when I had snows on and an open diff.
Bone stock 2012'S are running high 12's with a decent driver. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UXuhE1iaCI
I use to own and run a purpose built drag car and I've seen lots of stock Mustangs run in the high 12's at the track.
I can't wait until a tuner comes out for my 2013 Ram because the torque management and traction control is killing me.
No doubt it was a 5.0 but I know with a half decent driver it should have run at least a 13 flat.....Dodgert I guarantee you if you raced five 5.0s you might beat one like I did but like others have said the new 5.0s are nasty in stock form.
Hell with comparable bolt ons that I have they are easily running low 11s and some have broken 10s N/A......With a supercharger and TC they are running in the 9s now.

For the weight of our trucks the hemi does a decent job with a tune.
I've never had mine to the track but with the 4x4 I'm thinking maybe a mid to low 15 completely stock.
Anyone have any stock times for the 4 wheel drive's?
Maybe this summer I'll try it completely stock without a tune even though I bought it to pull my 74 Dart to the track.
To the op,nice time! I wish mine would get into the 13's. I'm guessing closer to 16's tho with a stock 06 qc 4x4?? Anyone know?
But for speed, that's what my stang is for!
I have seen bone stock 09 crew 4x4's run 14.8-15 flat and 06's run high 15's stock. I have taken out a new 5.0 with the $hitty driver mod too, its the only way a RAM gets a win in that race, especially NA.
Maybe, just maybe these 5.0 owners weren't racing? I had a guy in a Fart Canned Civic give a rev job and take off the other night, I just let him go. Guess that means he took a 5.0 also. My Mustang accelerates harder in 3rd than my Reg cab Ram does in 1st, and my truck runs pretty strong.
