Well, stock he is running 263HP at the flywheel (cannot find torque), so the Z has 69HP and unknown torque above it. Unless he screw the launch and a shift he will not win, you could probably run him in D mode and still be fine.

I don't think you would "spank" him. I'm not even sure that the 370 would pull off a win for sure against a MS3. They're fast cars. The intakes and exhaust will help you but there's more you can do to ensure your victory. The biggest thing is actually get to a track and practice some.

He may jump you pretty good just being familiar with the track, how the tree works and etc. However, with almost a full second faster car, I would find it hard to believe that if you can drive pretty well, you will have any issues. Especially since you're driving an auto versus his stick, where he is forced to be the better driver.
