But a base or Grand Sport Corvette with its steel space frame would probably fare better, than a 911. Not sure how a Z06 or ZR1 with their aluminum frame would compare against the 911. Still worse than the base Corvette.

I don't know about this-they both have racing derived frames. I'd actually guess that they'd be equally f***'ed- however they have good occupant compartments so the drivers would still walk away from both.
