There was the early 90's Dodge Daytona IROC R/T. Dodge picked up the license to the IROC tag after Camaro. Even though it only had half the cylinders than the Camaro's 5.0L TPI, with the turbo on that little 4-banger it pumped out just as much horsepower at ~224hp! And even though the torque was lower, it still managed to perform just as well. 0-60 in 6.3 seconds. Qtr mile in 14.8sec @ 92mph. Not bad at all.
The things that didn't make it an equal to the Camaro was . . .
Front wheel drive resulted in horrible torque steer.
Handling wasn't as good with a lateral g force of ~tenth less.
And I personally don't think it looks nearly as good.
