Default ls1 Trans Am vs C5 Z06. Based on these vids, which car accelerates faster to you?

1st car:

2002 z06 (my current car) only mod is dual cone intake that gets heat soaked like a ****, accelerating on slight uphill, 1st to 2nd no traction:

2nd car:

2002 Trans Am M6 Full bolt on, was my car about 2 years back until i stupidly sold it i still regret it even with my current Z!!! ( with full exhaust, headers, and tune it surprisingly made 365 rwhp 370wtq) straight line no hill, battling traction as well but only in 1st:

the reason im asking is that im about to dyno my vette and would like to see what power it puts down and how it stacks up to my previous t/a

lemme know which one you think is quicker.

i'd say it's close. The C5 Z's put down about 365-370 hp stock and weigh less than a F-body. I'd say the Vette would beat the T/A in a race and the longer it goes the worse it will be
