A stock coyote car will beat a zr-1 up to about 100 mph. I used to have both and I lost to my own mustang with my friend driving it like he stole it. Once you put headers on an LT5... well, then I hope the mustang is modded too.

but the real secret is the super low first gear in those new stangs along with variable cam phasing which makes that 300 inch engine have high torque at all times. It is good at time/distance acceleration contests right out of the box.

ON EDIT: Mine was a 2012 with 3:55 gears. the older ones weigh about 200 lbs less than the newer ones.
