Paddles & AWD could never make up for the power difference. A GT-R needs about 115 extra hp to match the Z06's power-to-weight ratio, leaving aside torque figures and displacement.
A great launch could determine a short race, maybe even a 1/4 mile race, but anything longer than that would be simply impossible.
