I do think some have done that. It's not at the center of activities. Not sure what the flat out max speed done by a zr1 is. I do know I've see low 9s at one of the gatherings at the Bowling Green drag strip by a street legal Lingenfelter twin turbo. Then there was a strip only zr1 that did upper 8s as I recall.
But at those venues it's time not top speed that matters.
And there are official time slips handed out.
Personally I don't have a slip by can tell you my stock 90 zr1 has seen 176 and had some left over. Nope life has not begun for me yet

Seems to me there was a zr1 at the Bonneville salt flats in the mid 250s but cant remember who, when or actual top end.
Maybe someone will chime in.
They are very few fords I wouldn't sell to get a vett. The GT 50 is one.
It's just got that look.
