A good friend at my old job had one. I raced him leaving the office many times. He never won, not against my Trans Am or my Mustang. All show, no go, those things are are snail-slow.

I beat one with my LT1 C4 years ago and even though it's an auto with a 2.59, it wasn't even close. Barring some crazy mods, I honestly don't think you have much to worry about.
