My buddy has a Supra that runs 9.8 on DRs(IIRC he's sub-600hp on E85). TBH, it makes sense to go Supra if you're wanting to go with an automatic transmission. I have a similar ZF in my Audi and that thing is the ****!
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.
