Since this question is for fun...my answer is:
The person who drives the Corvette home is the winner.
The Camaro and Mustang are both amazing cars, they are getting better by the year. But they are "pony cars." They are not sports cars. The Corvette is a true American sports car.

I think the Camaro would win.. But it would be close.. Above someone said they could beat them up, But an 04 Z06 is quite a bit
more car than your basically stock 99... About 65 more horsepower and different trans ratios as well.
This would prob come down to the driving skill...
You could do longtubes, LS6 intake manifold and a tune and pick up 50 ish or more HP. Then as long as you know how to
drag race, you should beat those pony cars.
And as said above.. YOU are the winner with a real car !!!

The fifth gen auto Camaros had the L99 motor. (Only rated at 400hp.) That, with the added 650+ lbs, should make this a driver's race. (Even after the auto jumps ahead at the start 
)
I roasted many SS Camaros in my litely modded '04 Z, and even a couple fifth-gen ZL1's.

like I said before, I didn’t want to leave any doubt so I went SC’d....less than three seconds and the “race” is over

I had a 2013 Camaro SS..auto. It was a dog...Even after exhaust, air intake and a tune it still was a DOG. Your Vette would beat that very easily...even with a bad driver. The Camaro SS with a stick is a whole different animal...it gets the LS3. I traded in the SS for a ZL1. The ZL1 was much much better. Traded the ZL1 for a C6 Z06...now I'm happy..lol. No way is a 2013 Camaro SS with the L99 hitting a 12.8 1/4 mile. That time posted is for the LS3.

The C5 is a sports car, not a muscle car. The C5 would win even with 100 less horsepower around a REAL track.
Those other cars are straight-line one-trick pony's (no pun intended).

yours is a Z his is not, the Camaro is an auto, just powerbrake and go not a whole lot of skill involved, on the other hand the vette and mustang are manual, driver race between those two maybe. JMHO

My Z blitzed the camaros, hence the reason I thought a lightly modded base would be a good race.
