As stated before, not much built VR30s just because of the car they're in....maybe in a couple years after the release of the new Z you'll see/hear more about them. Hell, B58 didn't get as much attention until they put "Supra" on it. Not completely sure of the build but Devil-Z 300ZX runs a (stock-block?) VG30DETT with a TH400 and his car has run a best of 8.6 in the quarter mile(avg 9.1). I'd imagine the VR30 should be about as capable.

If you're just going outright power, a TT Corvette is pretty hard to beat. Not uncommon to see a C6 running 10s with just nitrous and tires.
The VR30 is limited due to the open deck design. Not even as good as the VQ37VHR due to lack of displacement.

It wouldn't be the first time an open-deck engine is capable of power. A closed deck can be added via resleeving. I believe the record for a stock-internal VR30 is right around 600hp; so not too far off from a larger turbocharged VQ35/37 and the B58(though I think the B58 will take gobs more torque). I'm a fan of larger engines but there's plenty of people running high boost on smaller engines with success. I'd keep the VQ37 over either engines but hey, to each their own.
