In a fox, its gonna be a long road. You'd be money ahead to get an 03 Cobra and start from there as far as power, power potential, driveability, amenities, money and the list goes on....plus buy you a focus for a dd and still have money left compared to what that Z06 guy spent. If I am driving a fox I don't consider myself comparable to a Z06 both in money and performance.....16 years technology and a base price difference of $60K+...i wouldn't worry about competing with a Z06
Thats just a opinion really. I'd rather put the $$ into a fox and lay the smack down. I'd like to run into a c6 z06 this year...
If I'm not mistaken they make 430ish at the wheels and they weigh around 3100-3200 lbs. If you want to walk hard on one, you're going to need a lot more than just engine mods. You're going to need some serious traction. I think you can do it on the stock block, but it'll be pushing the limits.
My suggestion, if you're trying to do it as cheaply as possible, would be a h/c/i 302 with a 150-200 shot of nitrous, or you can keep the compression low and put on a stout blower or turbo system. n/a a motor like that would push 300 ish rwhp. With boost, going to 500ish at the wheels wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. A TKO tranny, sticky tires, 3.73 gears, and hardened 28 spline or 31 spline axles. You should consider suspension mods at this point too, but you can get away without them if you're just trying to beat a stock Z06. Then lighten the car to 3000 lbs or less. I think that combo would walk pretty good from a Z06 from a stop or roll. From a stop, you will annihilate him out of the hole.
You didn't ask this, but... From a roll you won't have anything on a new ZR1 unless you're pushing middle 500s at the wheels. From a stop, though, I don't think one could catch you in the 1/4. Your combo with traction should be knocking down mid 10s or better. Just keep the tune safe... 1 detonation event and everything is coming apart. Not to mention, you're already at the limits of the block itself.

Like 25th said, there has been a couple in the 10s BONE stock. BUT, obviously not every driver will be able to do that. The real problem is going to lie in what's done to the vette. If you have a decent turbo setup or something pushing the limits of the stock block, you should be able to pull on a COMPLETELY stock one. Especially if you're set up for the track and drill him out of the hole, but I don't think you will "walk" him from a roll.
Now you said even if it has a cam and exhaust... For that my friend, good luck. That's WELL into aftermarket block territory unless you run into the worst driver on earth and he runs a 2.4 60' and misses every gear.
The heads on the LS7 are absolutely incredible for a production head. They're CNC ported with 2.20" titanium valves and 270cc intake runners. They flow 352cfm at .700" lift. This means you're a cam and exhaust swap away from retarded all motor numbers. I've seen one make 730fwhp with a not too crazy cam and a set of long tubes.
