i dont know what these guys are smoking... Ls1's can put 325 with very cheap mods such as whisper lid and throttle body. you will need a good amount of mods. Also pray that he doesn't get a cam because then you are screwed. The camaro is just a much better car to make go as fast as you want to go. It is also a lot cheaper then the Z.

All the bolt-ons on my car could beat average or worse drivers in LS1's all day long, but not many guys running 107mph traps in Z's like I did and I only ever came across 1 good driver (IMO) who could beat me by 2 cars or so through 4th.

Your best bet is a nitrous kit, 100 shot and you will be 111-114mph trap. If you cant beat him with that check yourself you have palsy. If your too scared to spray start getting used to his tail-lights you'll be seeing them alot.

Add up N20 after 1 year of regular use (about 1 bottle/week) and tell me its "cheap", buddy of mine is now realize he coulda gone FI and without the headaches of bottle fills, correct pressures, etc.
