No. When all is said and done you will have roughly 360-380hp at the crank and probably around 12.8 at the track. Compared to the Vette that has 430hp and 400+ torque and is also about 100lbs or more lighter than your Z. Even if he sucks at driving and leaves TCS on he will beat you. The Vette is good for 12.3-12.4. Assuming you are the best driver in the world and he is your average driver you will hang with him the first half of the race and after that he will easily pull away. It's simple, he has more hp, torque, and is lighter than you.
Just so you have an idea my girlfriend just recently got rid of her 2006 C6 automatic Vette. Before she traded it we did a track night. Now mind you I was having problems launching with my Z but I had now chance. Keep in mind the 06 Vette only has 400hp and 400 torque. Vettes are a beast. Better add more mods if you want to play with Vettes.
