I personally drove a stock GT 5 speed to a 14.0 on a street tire(this is before drag radials were invented), and Im no pro. Auto's can be a good bit slower, but a notch should be good for a couple of tenths better than a GT.

I dont know how accurate that list is.. but it claims and 1989 5.0 is good for about 14.8 in the quarter.

A friend of mine used to have a '92 Coupe (notch) back in the late '90s. The car was stock other than a flowmaster exhaust, and he was running 14.0 to 14.2. That was a 5-speed car, and he's a very good driver.
I'm sure there might be a small handful of stock 5.0s that ran in the very high 13s stock, just like there's a handful of LS1 F-bodies that have run very high 12s stock. But neither is the norm.
