Do you actually care about 1/4 mile times or is this just a stand in for general acceleration/performance? Traction limits the amount of power you can put down on the 1/4 and getting a hemi with 3.92s and all-season truck tires to hook and actually use all that hemi-goodness isn't going to happen and 1/4 mile times on a prep'd track with drag tires aren't goign to matter outside that environment. On the usable metrics like rolling starts, highway passing, on-ramp bombing raids, etc. it's quick enough to be interesting for sure. I say this as a guy who has owned multiple Corvette/Camaros over the years and currently has a LS3/6M Camaro. I routinely drive my truck at Texas legal speeds and it still has the oomph to pass with authority in an 80-95-80 burst.
If you actually care about being the bestest at the quarter in stock configuration the F-150 Limited with the bigger ecoboost is the market leader. Raptor motor without the Raptor weight, but it's pricey. Like TRX level pricey. GMC's 6.2L is nearly as quick for less money. Note you'll need premium fuel for both of those options.
