It's called an exclusive agreement with a magazine, it happens all the time. We should all consider ourselves fortunate that Evolution is even willing to put out videos and some news on their runs so far.


True, but the videos and mod data will help their business, and help sell parts. I guess the question is, what will help more? Telling the members of this board the secret to their success, or waiting to tell a larger population of mustang enthusiasts in a feature article in 5.0 magazine. I guess it is a tossup and gamble that another shop doesn't come in with an equal time and offer a mods list in advance of the article coming out and steal away potential customers. In the long run though, I think that the 5.0 article, and advertising that comes along with it will pay off. Still a gamble though.

It's NOT the consumer we don't want to share the info with....

Do you think a Bakery that is known for the best coconut cream pies around would post their recipe publicly so other bakery's can copy it.....

I know how to market this car, we've been planing this for almost a year!

I can appreaciate your success and the fact that releasing info may give competitors your secrets, but you clearly just stated that you are using all of the forums to "Market" your business. This approach is good, but do you really expect true enthusiasts to sit around and wait 4-6wks to find out info? I mean at that pace, your car will already be in the 9's and then they are going to have to wait again? C'mon man, you guys have had great success with your GT 500 abilities and did not take this route.


If a guy called you today and said: I just purchased a 11' GT and I want it to run 10's N/a like your car, are you going to tell him that he is going to have to wait 4-6wks?


Anyway, just having a hard time following the path as others appear to be as well. Said it before, I give you credit for your accomplishments and showing us the capabilities of the car.

I can't imagine there's anything all that exotic done to this car. Not sure why you would have to be tight lipped about bolt ons and a tune.. I could understand not wanting to share proprietary cam specs, etc. but I'm guessing this car still has stock internals.

This is a bad ass accomplishment though so soon after the cars release :rockon:

Hey captain keyboard, maybe you should gtfo as I have been here since 04'. I am not butthurt, I just don't like all of the hype and hush hush. I completely understand business and the fact that they have given 5.0 the exclusivity, but just think it is a little rediculous. If you think about it, the car has gone from stock to apparently a gutted race car in 2wks. Is the next issue of 5.0 going to really breakdown every step of the process.... and at the pace they are moving the car will be in the 9's shortly. So all of their success is going to be in one article from 12's to 9's? Of course not.

All I can say is that this is the direction that Steig. took with his Snakebite, and look where that landed them...? All of their posts lacking details actually drove more business away than created.

End result is that again, great accomplishments have been made by the Evolution team showing us that Ford has procuced a 4V N/A 5.0L that everyone has been asking for.

I'm sure if you really owned a 5.0 and you wanted to go fast you could call evolution and they would help you go fast. Good Job guys!

I saw the car in person yesterday at the NMCA race. It is far from a "gutted race car"!!!
I see no problem with the way Evolution is doing things. I'm sure if you drop of an '11 GT to them with a blank check they would show you everything they've done....
