No chance at all, even if he goes easy on you he will leave you in a cloud of dust.

Think about it this way. Do you have a chance against a stock Corvette? Do you have a chance against a Corvette with an 800lb weight reduction?

When people go this far into a project to fit a motor like this, odds are the motor is not stock either. At a minimum it has to have a custom exhaust and intake tract which no doubt will flow better than a stock Vette.

Sorry, you don't have a chance at all. The 240 is exteremly light and with that powerful motor he will be gone before you know it.
