When they were new, 900Ts would give Mustangs a run for their money. Horsepower was down, but torque wasn't that far off and a several hundred pound weight advantage never hurts. Corvettes weren't that much faster. RWD and decent V8s definitely have an advantage at launch, but that of course isn't the full story.
I'd guess you have a $1500 task ahead of you for reliable '87 Corvette beating power. ECU, injectors, APC, uprated intercooler, and the right suspension setup should net you a good 200-220hp (if not more...) and a substantial boost in torque. That'll put you on a level playing field with the vette, then you can let your weight advantage make up for your traction handicap.
