If we are talking fastest, naturally aspirated motors, The Viper GTS's of the 1990's have the top speed. I believe it was 5MPH faster than the ZR-1.....But Dodge needed 2 more cylinders to do it. And if you have every drove a Viper really fast, it's a miracle your still alive. Not as stable/ planted as a Corvette at speed. Dodge needed to add Aero packages to go any faster safer. Hence the ACR's and special big winged Vipers.
I'm hard pressed to think of an American factory stock car, that could touch the ZR-1. That is until this new breed of Muscle cars hit around 2008......The 2012 Ford GT500 could hit 201MPH and I believe the 1989 Turbo Trans AM could hit 165MPH.
