So..the Z/28 doesnt exist, (yet). Also..the ZR-1 isnt Americas fastest sports car, so you're wrong yet again. As of right now the fastest, straight line stock American sports car is the Ford GT with an electronically limited top speed of 205 MPH.
The Dodge Viper ACR (which was street legal and was available for common sale) set a Nurburgring record (topping the ZR-1 and GTR) of 7:22.1.
(That means it is faster than a ZR-1)
I'm not saying the ZR-1 isnt an amazing, supercar slaying machine..it truly is. However, you betray your ignorance when you make broad, blanket statements like that.
Also, your statements about most Mustangs having Chevy engines is again wrong. The five fastest Mustangs I've seen run at my track were all powered by Ford engines. The absolute fastest, a 10 second 65/66 Mustang is powered by a 427 SOHC "Cammer" Ford engine producing over 700 HP. It's damn near unbeatable, and there are alot of fast GM motors running at my track. I've also seen Chevelle's, Camaro's and such running Mopar and Ford engines.
So to sum it up, you're wrong. Do your homework before you boast.

Last time I checked a Ford GT was never faster than a Corvette ZR-1 stock. So not sure where your getting that from every drag race between a Corvette & Ford GT the Ford lost so not sure bout that. And I know about the Dodge Viper beating it at the Nurburgring but it's a moot point now since they discontinued making them this year. Every car I have seen them pit the ZR-1 against online it has won.
I wasn't saying ALL Mustangs run on Chevy engines and I know the fastest ones are usually on a Ford engine. What im saying is there are ALOT more Mustangs with Chevy engines than Camaros with Ford engines. I know that for a fact i've been to multiple drag strips and seen Mustangs with a Chevy engine but only one Camaro with a Ford engine. Theres a reason for it they are better engines. Why do you think a Mustang on Pinks won with a Chevy engine? I can't name how many Mustangs I have seen on that show running on a Chevy engine at least 6 maybe more. So really i'm not wrong there are some Chevy's with Dodge or Ford engines but there aren't many with Ford engines. I go to drag races every weekend so I would know.
