(for less than the price of a Nissan GT-R) on paper at least, the new camaro ZL1 should be able to handle the Ferrari F430, but who knows? there is no performance data for the ZL1 at this time.

Ferrari F430
4.3L V8
483 hp

Camaro ZL1
6.2L V8
550 hp

That Camaro has 550( I think that right, it's up there) torque also. My money would be on the Chevy.

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.

You need to make sure the sticker is abhorrently large and always clean. Sort of like an air filter or something.
