If air intake is all you're gonna do, you'll get beat. Dont bet for money, just do it for fun. Besides racing your buddy is all fun and games.
According to Car and Driver the Z51 will do 0-140 in 20 seconds, where the Lambo will do 0-150 in 21 Seconds.
Here is a closed track race on these two cars

Okay, forget the Nitrous, tune and headers. Borrow a C6Z06 that is the same color, race him at night so he does not notice the emblems and bigger quarters. Smoke him and leave right away so he doesn't have a chance to eyeball the car too closely.

We will not reach top speeds, but around 140 mph. So why is everyone so sure I'm going to loose, am I missing something or is everyone just chicken sh*t.

you will get blown into the weeds my friend.

Bye-bye $1000.

You are toast when it comes to racing the Lambo with a Stock C6 Z51.

Nice to think the standard C6 Z51 is faster than a more powerful AWD Lambo, but I think you are the only one who thinks so....

Pray he has a mechanical malfuntion.

Good Luck, Stay Safe.

Just check the quarter mile traps for each car and you will see that stock for stock its not to favorable for you.
