i'd guess mid 14's if it's 100% stock down to the gears & suspension. just a guess though.

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.

I don't agree with that list. I have seen a bone stock 2004 Z06 run 11.9's off the show room floor. With a great driver banging gears I would say 13.7's.

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.

I had one with shorties, duals, dr's in back, skinnies up front, more timing and 93 pump, and I went 13.9 on a 2.05 short. I'd say stock maybe 13.9 - 14.2 beating on it.

I ran a 87-93 Notch today at the track. He ran a 14.48 @ 96.6MPH. He also ran a 14.7 but I can't remember the speed. It sounded stock...

That's pretty sick that some people out there can drive the **** out of a car and run times like an 11.9 from a stock '04 ZO6. Impressive driving to say the least!
