Attempting to consider the difference between a built (no money limit) 370z and an F430 reminds me of the people who ponder whether Capt. Kirk or Capt. Picard would win in a fight. Interesting (for dorks), but pointless.

Have a great day.

Pretty sure I'd put my money on Kirk to win. ...unless Picard were to be modded by the Borg.

Me too. The second Kirk's shirt got ripped, Piccard would have his own rear end served up on a plate.

Ferrari F430
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.

They both weigh about the same, quarter mile- I say yes(Camaro win). But, not in a mile long run, the Ferrari would definitely win.

It doesn't matter how much you spend, even if you manage to "outperform" an F430, the Ferrari will likely be more reliable. More importantly, in the end its a Ferrari, he'll whoop you on the track and then steal your girlfriend lol.

Just picking on the noob, I used to ask similar questions when I was really young.

A camaro zl1 weights ~3100 pounds? Sorry but not happening, a Camaro SS is in the ~3900 range and throw on the upgrades the car will be in the 4000.

More important. F car is mid engine with weight over rear wheels. It has traction advantage.

However I still say a 370 z could be built to rape a stock 430. You guys think f cars are magic. ...not. A 900 hp blown 370z with worked suspension could easily spank a stock 430. Just bring money.

geohartanto · 02-14-2011, 09:53 PM

i mean more like say acceleration from 50mph to like 100mph on a straight line. a modded z can surely win right?

I have consulted with Jedi Yoda. I'm changing my response to the win in favor of the Ferrari F430, instead of the Camaro!
