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.

So a cam and exhaust netted 225 horse.....
wow, im surprised at the comments in here. There are many cheap pos foxbodies with minimal amounts of money in them running low 11's n/a. Last time i checked, the zo6 is nott a 10 second car

:Word: an 11 sec car is an 11 sec car, no matter who thinks one car technically on paper should be faster than the next
take a fox mustang and put 40,000 dollars in mods in it and see where that puts you

Theres a HUGE difference between a hobbled together fox body running on the ragged edge going 11.20s on slicks, and a Z06 bone stock on 18" (maybe even 19") street radials going the same 11.20.
I am pretty sure those cars are trapping in the high 120 closing in on 130 mph range. It's going to take all of your $40K to get a fox to do that N/A, handle like its on rails, get the fuel mileage, and be as comfy as the Z06. The money debate is not a debate, your getting a LOT more for it with the Z06.
A stout HCI power adder car will run with one, a stroker motor with a power adder will, a well thought out all motor stroker, yes, even a 302-306 N/A with all the right parts can. But we are talking drag race oriented Mustangs for the most part.
There is a blue LX hatch on here that runs in the deep 10s, on a tire that would be a great example of running with a new Z06. I would be interested to hear him post.
I think if you put $40,000 in a fox the Z06 is still gonna be a better car. I dont car what you do to a fox, the z06 is still a better package, they paid millions of dollars to engineer this car to perform and be reliable. You could put $40,000 into a fox, and it still wont handle like a Z06... and if it did, take both cars, and hit a pothole, then tell me how your ass feels.
The original poster asked "What do i need to beat a 2008 Zo6?" not "What do I need to do to make my car handle like a z06?"
We're talking about a straight line here, not potholes and slaloms
imagine that. people are trying to steer away from the op's question and tryin to find ways to put the mustang down in other ways. supposed to be a mustang website. the answer to the op's question is simple. It doesnt take much time or money to embarass a 60k dollar stock z06. He even metions about using a 347 stroker. you all know what you can do with a high compression stroker. Yeah, it is kinda neat to have an old foxbody with different color quarters whoopin a shiny z06. Would any of us want a z06 over a fox? Of course! thats not whats in question here

Yeah I don't think anyone is putting down a Fox. While they're great platforms and great cars considering how old they actually are....they still have limitations just like everything else.
These types of threads are always funny. Hell you could take any car and make it beat a Z06 in a drag race if you wanted.
and if you replace practically the entire car with aftermarket or race equipment....its really not much of a Fox anymore.
i know of a hyandai elantra that runs 10.60s...and its got 4 drag radials on it.
You don't have to build a 10 second fox to beat a stock one in the 1/4, but if you're going to walk away from one on the street, especially from a roll, then you do need a 10 sec fox.
