Can a 1987 Porsche Carrera RUF with 375 HP beat a new Camero?

Yeah..............I just want to know, if it can beat the new camero SS.

The cars:
2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS (let's try the big dog first):
6.2 litre V8 producing 426 HP, 3,860 lbs (6 speed manual) or 3,913 lbs (6 speed auto)
1987 Porsche 911 Carrera RUF:
3.2 litre flat six producing 375 HP (stated), 2,584 lbs, 5 speed manual

The math:
Camaro = 9.06 lb/ HP; Porsche RUF = about 6.89 lb/HP

The contests:
1. Straight track - The six-speed Camaro has a lower first gear and probably more torque (can't find torque for RUF), but the Camaro weighs about 1,300 pounds more than the Porsche RUF . Camaro out of trap first; however the large power advantage of the Porsche RUF means that it'll cross the quarter mile line first. The Camaro will shift before 60 mph and the Porsche may not - harder to call 0 to 60 mph, but the Porsche likely will win here too.
2. Track - the obese and high center of gravity Camaro is lost compared to the Porsche RUF. Porsche all the way.

Note: the RUF conversion may weigh more than the original Porsche Carrera, but not enough to make any difference here. This is the weight of a Carrera Club Sport; add about 130 pounds if RUF started with a standard Carrera. The (assumed) greater Camaro torque will make little of the difference off-the-line because of the immense weight of the Chevrolet. The biggest difference will be in the modern Camaro's six speed transmission vs. the old Porsche's five speed. The six speed automatic may actually be faster than the Chevy manual, but it also weighs more.
