I got mine in the fall so I haven't had a chance to run it yet and it's still bone stock.

It's quick and pulls pretty well for stock but I doubt very much that it's a low 13 sec car stock. I am hoping to get mid-high 13s out of it stock in the spring.

Stock autos run 13.7-14.2, the manuals 13.5 and up with the occasional one running 13.40s.

Stock, the manual ones can probably hang with you down low but I am sure by 80 you started to pull. The top end on the stock 3vs is not that good.

That's pretty much what happened, except that it was more like 65-70 when I inched ahead. We didn't get anywhere near 100, I don't think.

I have a vert (see mods) and I am currently running 13.4 . My top end pulls all the way to redline, and feels like it could go alot farther if I pushed it. With 3v heads, this motor has great potential with proper tuning. If I felt I could safely rev to 8K I would and it would probably pull the whole way there. I'll be able to hit 12's on the motor with ease from this point. In a convertible, As far as I'm concerned, that's fast. (braggin rights)
