Yes, I only got a 13.9 in a stock 2001 C5 convertible (its not a ZO6 or something). The best run C&D got when testing it new was only 13.5. I didn't say it was fast, or that it was some amazing video, just thought I'd share. I bet an SRT-4 would be me, there was a 300 SRT-8 that ran 13.6 and was full of TV's and speakers. But personally, I'd take a 13.9 C5 convertible over a 13.5 SRT-4 anyday, there is more to life than just speed and straight lines.

I don't know, that Green Brick from Mopar Action ran circles around Vettes at Car and Drivers
One Lap of America race and it was just a modified 1969 Plymouth Valiant.
Vettes are great economy cars and can corner decent, that's about it.

i would also take a 13.9 C5 ragtop over a 13.5 SRT4, because that 13.9 C5 could easily become a 13.5 C5 with a little practice.

So, the 13.5 SRT4 driver isn't allowed to practice?
I'll take the SRT4. Now, if were talking a 1967 or 68 Vette, then I'll take the Vette.
