ok well its still lighter and you maybe added 35hp maybe without a tune. also you didnt say do you have a 6 speed? what tires are you running? what tires is he running? which of you has more seat time at the strip? if youve gone every weekend for years and this is his first time you might take him. ETC ETC ETC. its almost impossibe to predict, but you might take him once or twice if you both do a few runs, and it is both of your first times, you never know

I'm sure the Z06 is capable of beating our car but she drove better than he did. Anything can happen

A race can be as much the car, as it is the driver. I think it will be close. Assuming it's just for fun, do it? So you lost to a Z06, it's not like it's a civic or anything!!! Have fun and enjoy the car!

Go to the track and shoot it out - the Z06 may have a slight advantage, but you just never know.
