Default 415ci z06 vs. sts camaro

My co-worker has just finished installing a sts turbo kit on his 2000 z28. I believe he has a cam, long tubes, 3500 stall converter, drag radials, and some other minor mods. I'm wondering how my z06 would do against him. My last dyno posted 465rwhp and 445rwtq. Any ideas on the outcome? (How much more hp does a camaro need to make up for the z06's weight advantage?)

To keep up with you he will need to be in the 500rwhp range. Depends on rear end gearing also. But I would venture to say that with the 3500 stall and D/R's and proper gearing that thing is going to be a beast (the camaro) off the line.

Im not sure about that...STSs are a little "slower" out of the hole...if the camaro is going to beat you its from a roll. From a roll I crush a Viper...from a dead stop its closer.
