I don't see why there is much debate about this, the FQ400 was able to beat a Pagani Zonda, which has a 7.3 litre V8 and 547 bhp while weighing a light (For a 7.3 V8 Supercar) 1280 Kg.
So by all logic a Zonda could beat a Corvette Z06, hence a FQ400 could as well.
Add to that: The Evo's modifications that tickle it to 400bhp are done by Ralliart, who I believe are a fully controlled by Mitsubishi (Either way they are factory backed)
The Evo has the added bonus of AWD and an active differential (Which means it can be driven in all weather).
