Actually the question was...

Can a corvette beat a ferrari on a quatermilie?
Yes, ferrari is out if both drivers have the same level.
Ferrari F430
0-60 mph: 4.0 sec
0-100 mph: 10.0 sec

Corvette Z06:
0-60 mph: 3.6 sec
0-100 mph: 9.2 sec

On a track?
Yes and no.
Which track?
Lotus Elise can beat any car on a non-highspeed track due to terrific traction control that is simular to go-carts. To understand which car is better for a specific track you must test it or calculate if you know all the details about both cars.
