It’s the higher speeds where horsepower and aero truly take over. Assuming the camaro is at least as aero dynamic as the bmw I would bet the camaro would really pull away from it in a roll race as the speeds start to increase.
Dyno. Look at what an M240 dynos at. I'd wager 2022 is at least 350hp/tq. With the full torque lower, it'll probably pull on a camaro until you get to some seriously high speeds.
