Camaro ss vs Audi r8

Camaro ss manual comes with 426hp and 420lb of torque and weighs around 3750

The Audi r8 v8 comes with 430hp and 316lb of torque (v8)
or
521hp and 391lb of torque (v10) there starting weight is 3650ish and goes up with more options


I assume that the v10 would beat the camaro.. Unless modded

The r8 that is a v8 vs the camaro ss.. Stock vs stock. Who would win

my mom actually has the V8 model. We ran them at the track and the R8 ran a 12.8@110 and my Camaro ran a 12.9@111. I would say they are basically what and what. The R8 has a better launch but the camaro has better low range and mid range but once you get to top end the R8 has a better top speed with the significantly better aerodynamics. The V10 on the other hand will beat a zl1. Hope this helps.

The V8s aren't a problem if you don't do a dig race. V10s aren't a problem if you have a cam and boltons (you can find the youtube videos easily but they aren't allowed to be posted here).

Audi is a car on the rise, but for the extra performance you get you pay a fortune. I wouldn't feel confident about racing one in a stock Camaro. But as always, the driver makes a lot of difference. Slug Audi driver might lose to a skilled SS driver.
