Just curious....
No chance, really. Bone stock with an average driver, an '02-'04 Z06 runs a 12.5 @ 115 MPH. On the Corvette Forum, the top-10 runs in a bone stock Z06 on the official list (proven, much like the list on the 350Z forum) range from 11.78 to 12.13 at anywhere between 117 to 120 MPH, with the top-6 being in the 11s. They are quick.

As for track/autocross...it was among the fastest cars on a road-course money can buy for its time. Much like in a straight-line, it will take significant modification for a 370Z to perform with a stock Z06. Now throw some simple bolt-ons on the Z06, and it just got even harder.
