I have a buddy that wants to race, what do you guys think_

Me
stock base 2005 corvette, manual transmission

Him
Cadillac XLR, Automatic-not sure what year but im guessing 2007 or so.

I think the xlr is supercharged but than again the Vette is lighter and the quarter mile can come up pretty quick.

If its the 400hp version caddy he's toast. Now if its the 550hp version your toast.

Even if he has an XLR-V, that has only 443 HP and weighs substantially more, so yes, you should win against any unmodified XLR. See:
