Muscle Cars You Should Know: '69 1/2 Plymouth Road Runner 440-6 #1 - Street Muscle
I am too lazy to search for you but there is a similar mag article of a 70 Stage 1 455 GS that ran 12.99. I think it was C&D but cannot remember. I have read this with my own eyes.

Maybe 13.99
Read your own article, that was a mid13 second car, then after carb tuning and jetting, weight reduction, playing with tire pressures and all the other things the magazine did t disclose, one of the best drivers in the world knocked another 1/2 second off the best time.
Take a brand new GT500, tune it, weight reduction, work tire pressures, etc on the best track, is that representative of all the other new, stock GT500s?
Do not move the goalposts. The car was stock. The whole story is well documented.
No the car was not stock. You have an issue with reading comprehension. The article you posted stated It was a tuned factory PR car, sent to Chrysler Performance for tuning, then thrashed for a day, removing weight, additional tuning and tire pressure, and driven by the best in the business. And the article is a report of something that allegedly occurred 42 years prior. EVERY auto manufacturer had special PR cars in a effort to produce the best times and sell cars. When they chose a car to go in to PR rotation, do you think they selected a representative slow or average car? Or was it tweaked? Every manufacturer played that game.
That car was also selected because it was a bare-bones stripped version void of options and weighing less. No harm no fowl there. My current 68.5 CJ Mustang was one of the first sold to the public, and it was purpose ordered as a race car from the factory by the original owner. Zero option, radio delete, 4.30 rear, 4 speed 428CJ car and lived much of it's first 10 years on the track.

Would like to see a few pictures of that 68.5 135 Cobra Jet
Listen up one more time DS...I made a statement, it's your job to disprove it...You can't cause you're bringing a knife to a gunfight...I'm done talking to you bench racers as that's the only races you probably win.
Exactly. Let's not forget also that these cars were all running on high octane leaded gas also. They weren't that fast stock. Engine hp ratings without accessories. Not down playing but 12 seconds was rare.As stated above, the quickest standard showroom stock 428cj, 454, 455, and even Hemi cars in the late 60s/very early 70s were typically 13 second cars. Boss302, Z28s, TA Challenger, AAR Cuba’s were low/mid 14 second cars stock. Sure there were a few special models, Thunderbolts, Ram Charger, L88, 427 Cobras that we’re a quicker. Then there were the Motion Performance, Yenko, Baldwin, etc cars some of which were “guaranteed” to run 11s and were typically either dominator or tunnel ram cars on slicks. The cars shown in the videos are highly tuned representations of the stockers and run much, much better than the originals, while “appearing stock and within the rules”. My first Shelby in 1977, a 68 GT500 ran a best of 13.8s stock on J60 tires and traction bars at MIR. It didn’t run a high 11 until it had a 454MR motor and 430 gears on 9” tires.
And many magazines like SS/DI would run an article on a car, like a ‘70 SS454 Chevelle, run it stock at a best of a mid13 or so after 6 runs, then spend the day tuning, carb jetting, timing, tire pressures, remove air cleaner, loosen sway bars, etc, etc and drop a couple tenths and hit that magic “12” number.
I was there......
