Muscle Mustangs and fast fords did an article a few years ago about this exact topic. the article was all naturalally aspirated, and while some of them were extreme engines, a few of them were mostly stock.

the one that comes to memory was an 87 LX. stripped, slicks, 5 speed, weighing 2400 lbs, launching at some oddball rpm, something like 5000 rpm, ran a low 12 at something like 105. i forget exactly what the specs were. i will try and find the article and get back to you.

but it is veeeeery possible. it is all DRIVER and WEIGHT.
