Probably not. My experience goes back to the '60s and SCCA races at 
Limerock. The Corvettes rules the straights but would get passed by Minis 
in the corners. 

I looked at a Stingray from that era. I had a AH Sprite rollerskate which 
was one of the smallest cars on the road. I found it more comfortable than 
the huge Stingray, although entry/exit was interesting. 

Corvettes have improved a lot since then but given the choice I'd go with 
a 911.
