4.3L V8
483 hp

Camaro ZL1
6.2L V8
550 hp


If horsepower and displacement was all that mattered then sure, the Camaro could win. But you need to factor in the weight of each car, the handling, the technology behind the curtain that lets the power be put down... etc etc.

No, the Z28/ZL1 will not beat a F430.
