I've owned quite a few F bodies. The LS1 V8 responds VERY WELL to upgrades too. It's pretty easy to obtain mid to low 12's out of an Ls1 car. My buddies bone stock 01 WS6 Trans-Am 6 speed and ran 13.2's @ 108mph all day long at the track with 2.1 60ft times.
So...assuming you're referring to a drag race: With an 03z, stock to stock, you're probably going to loose a somewhat close race and modified to modified you have no real chance.
Both are sweet cars though!

An LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1....... so don't caught up with all of the WS6/SS propaganda (if it were true I would have been running high 13s
)Results may vary slightly (Autos tend to be a tick slower with a few mph less traps) but I've seen WS6, SS, Z28 and Formula Autos running 13.0~13.1 stock before so don't take that to the bank.

I actually ran a 02 WS6 3x's with my stock 03 Tour about a year and a half ago. I won every time but only because he could launch the car. The first time he spun through 2 gears, the 2nd time he didn't spin but just didn't get out fast enough. The 3rd he spun again. To answer your question, equal drivers, non modded cars, the Z will most likely loose. Not as bad as some of these guys are making it sound though.
