Default C4 vs. DTS

My cousin with his 2003 Caddy DTS 300 hp. NorthStar wants to drag-strip challenge me against my 96' LT1 300hp Auto. coupe Vette. I think I should be able to walk all over him. Any thoughts??

Ps. whats the 0-60 and quarter miles times of this 2003 DTS???

Consider this:
Curb weight, lbs. 3978 DeVille, 4049 DHS, 4047 DTS
Horsepower, SAE net @ rpm:
DTS: 300 @ 6000
DHS: 275 @ 5600

Torque, SAE net @ rpm:
DTS: 295 @ 4400
DHS: 300 @ 4000


Does that answer your question?
