A simple turbo kit on the stock longblock would be enough to keep up.
Throw a h/c/i along with the turbo kit and you can beat em with a small amount of boost.
3130 pounds is not a heavy car by any means. You're going to have to match his weight, horsepower and torque if all you want to do is keep up with him. The Mustang is not a miracle car. It doesn't have some magic part that enables it to beat lighter, higher powered cars. In fact, the Mustang is at a serious disadvantge against most other similarly powered and weighted cars due to it's very poor front end weight bias. It's going to take a bushel basket full of hundred dollar bills - packed tight - to beat that Z06. And you would probably never do it with a stock 5.0 block.
That was a nice zo6.
185 mph is no sweat for Ed and is customers
Hope that guy was on a closed course!! 185 on the street is rediculous! If he passed me in my Expedition with my family in the car i would of called the cops!!
I'm well aware of how comparing quarter mile times works.
This guy is comparing a car to another car, not taking driver into consideration.
107mph is nothing close to what a z06 is capable of.
And if you both used the same tires, he would of eaten you up by the time the 1/4 ended.
My buddies bone stock z06 ran 12.2 all day on std radials, try that in any foxbody.
LOL 12.2 I ran a 12.6 with HCI and thats a stock gear and stock T-5 with a stock clutch. I could lighten my car put a low gear and I will run faster than a 12.2 and now since what I added what I have you could take a mild z06 and I will outrun it.
It's performance off the showroom floor that makes it such a great car.
Of course they can be beaten if you cut wieght, use better tires, add more power.
But it's still not going to be easy if you both use regular tires, that's what makes the z06 so great. It puts the power to the ground, right out of the box.
The z06 is for those that have to much money. A couple of these would have equaled what I paid for my house years ago. Hate to see what people pay for insurance on these.
I will stick with my stang, and go fast, for less.
And i know nobody here is even thinking about comparing their car to the newer z06 with 500hp, it's in a league of it's own.
Haha. Bull ****in ****. You guys crack me up. I'm in the process of building a $2500 turbo kit that will be on a stock, never removed, 43k mile complete short block 302, and I promise you I will not be backing down to any C6 Z06, nevermind C5s.It's going to take a bushel basket full of hundred dollar bills - packed tight - to beat that Z06.

Exactly! As soon as someone posts a vid of a stock block Fox cruising down the highway at 190 MPH I'll concede that the Z06 can be beat.
12.6 on drag radials or 12.6 on std radials?
Makes a huge difference, a z06 on drag radials will go 11.50's, and that's only the fastest i've seen, i'm sure there's some faster.
By your theory your car is faster than just about anything that can be purchased.
Comparing ET's of cars using dissimilar tires is not a fair comparison.
There is guys here with foxbodies that make more to the rear wheels than a z06 makes to the crank, and still can't go 12.20 with radials.

The only Z06 you are describing is a C6 model. A 2004 or older Z06 does not just get out and run low 12's at the track. Hell, go to any big Vette gathering at the drag strip and I bet you see way more 13 second Vettes than you do 12 sec ones.
Yes the C6 Z06 is a strong SOB no doubt and unless I sprayed I would have a hard time running with one from a roll on the highway. But the C5's are nowhere near as strong.
