Okay. But I guess my real point was that it's silly to make generalizations about the capability of a particular make of car based on what one sees "at the track" (unless, as I said, it's stock vs. stock).

If it's true that the Lincoln has 290hp base, then that would be an interesting race vs. a stock Z. With the Z's greater hp, I would expect the Z to win, but I guess it depends on torque and gear ratios more than hp (and, since the stock cars are actually close in perf, driver skill will come into play (imagine that!)).
