Hmmm. Another testament to the slowness of TX Motorplex, as far as stock
vehicles are concerned anyway. A racin buddy of mine has a '98 C5 Conv.
6spd. He whittled and worked all night to a 14.2 best. Slowest was 14.5.
That seems about normal for what I see from the C5's. NEVER seen a 13
from one. But hey, thats just my experience. I'm not saying faster
times don't happen, I just don't see them. Alan S.
