Yeah...I've heard of it...haven't seen it done. most of the early mag reports were way off because Ford reps would ride along. That added weight and people were afraid to really jump on it. Since then I've read/heard about high 13s. The gearing is so-so...and I've heard of a Ford-denied "adult supervision" programming on the drive-by-wire throttle setup that for some reason doesn't let the car really move when you mash the throttle. All of the cars I've heard of and read about hitting 13s have had their computers reflashed to take care of the throttle issue (all of the problem cars were either pre-release or VERY early deliveries). The gearing is actually pretty good. I'd really like to try out one of the 5spd automatics.
