You could just let him borrow you motor for a little bit. Or he could upgrade to an 8,000 hp top fuel motor, that should do the trick...... Unless he races the vette from a roll, then it's all over. You can't hang with a vette top end.

That reminds me.... Yesterday as I was fixing to get on the highway I saw a bone stock C5 pull up next to a local 2500rwhp turbo 'busa that pulls .8 60's. The 'busa got him out of the hole, but needless to say at 600 mph the vette flew past him like he was standing still. It was amazing.

I you look at a Vette and even ******* THINK of racing it, your car will spin a main bearing. I would just rebuild your engine right now and call it a day.
