300 HP V6 in a Camaro vs. a 215 HP V6 in the Crossfire... I would say you are correct. However, I don't know about the weight comparison between the 2 cars or if weight would even make a difference. The Camaro may really only be slightly faster if they are both driven the same way. In order to beat the V6 camaro I would guess the driver would have to mess something up in order for us to beat him.
I am sure in the long haul a Crossfire would get to the finish line a lot faster. I doubt the new Camaro V6 can hit 150 MPH. It probably has a govern of 115 like the last generation V6 did. Even at 100MPH the old Camaro didn't feel as secure as Crossfire. It seems like when I hit 100MPH in the Crossfire it switches to a whole new gear! It feels like it is begging to go faster.
