Default Which stock cars can take us?

I've seen comments in various threads about certain cars that can outrun a Z in the 1/4 mile. So here are my conditions before I make a list:
  • excludes "super cars," such as Lexus LFA, Lambos, etc.
  • must have stock/base manufacturer equipment
  • naturally aspirated (- i.e. no turbos)
  • same year, like 2011 vs 2011 for instance

Maybe I'm leaving out some things (feel free to add more exclusions) but here's a list based on things I've seen posted:
  • BMW M series (not SUV's obviously)
  • Mustang GT and above (that was for my neighbor who has a Cobra)
  • Porsche 911
  • can't think of any non-turbo Audi's but I'm sure there are some

If we account for similarity in price (let's put the Z at 40K), I would think it would be only the Mustang GT that would take us, right? Again, I'm only talking about a 1/4 mi sprint.

I know I'm missing some cars and I'm not trying to put myself out there as a car expert...not at all. I just drive and come across certain cars and wonder "I bet I could take him." Thx.

Note: And yes, please feel free to switch in Nismo Z to represent the Z if you'd like...just to make things interesting.
