With equal drivers and prep, no, the mini will not beat the Z06 on a normal autocross course.

It could if the Z06 driver was terrible and the mini driver was good, or the Z06 was bone stock and the mini was set up including race tires, or the course was just so ridiculous that the Z06 could barely even fit through.

I've been on courses that were set up by guys driving tiny cars like the mini, and there were gates that some cars couldn't physically fit through. In this case of course the mini has an advantage. But the courses that I'm talking about aren't even legal by the SCCA rulebook. I ran on one of these and even though I informed them that it was way too tight, they didn't care. So I just 'straightened' out that section and ran over the necessary cones so I wasn't considered off course. The penalty time was less than I would have lost trying to navigate through that section.
