I dunno about Starfire taking Namor. He's definitely stronger and probably as fast (she didn't look lightspeed in 52), but he's vulnerable to heat. However, he's whupped Sunfire before, who had Starfire's powerset. OTOH, I think Starfire is stronger than Sunfire. This is a tough call.
Sunfire took some hits from Titannus, who is Thanos level. I'd place Sunfire near Starfire's level of strength, though not quite there. And Starfire was at full power in 52. I'd like to see some references where she moves lightspeed. In fact, I'd like to know where she stalemated Donna. Not that I doubt that she could, since Donna as WG was only like at the level of Superboy when he first started out, but I'd like to see it for later reference.
Namor's also beaten The Human Torch, BTW. Minus her fireblasts, Namor would take her a solid majority. I'm just not convinced that her fire would ENTIRELY make up for the large strength/durability difference.
This would be a good fight. If Kori keeps her cool and controls distance she's got a decent shot. If she fails to do either of those things I give this to Namor.

Starfire can also nova blast Namor
since her nova blast ko'ed her sister and destroyed Braniac's Nattle ship during the Outsiders Teen Titans crossover the Insiders
Starfire wins 7-8/10

I'll DL it some time. That sounds high end for her.
Um, you realize WHY her power was low there, right? Because they'd been in space for a WEEK. They were moving further from the sun, meaning she had less power to absorb. She was at full power when it was stated that she's nowhere near the translight speeds needed to take them home.
Now then, when has she been stated as able to move light speed?
OTOH, Superman took her blast to no effect, and it barely phased Orion. I put Namor's durability near theirs. Those weren't novas, but she was attacking them all-out. As for Braniac's battleship, we don't know how durable it is as no one else of any great power level tried to break it. In the same story, armored Lex Luthor whupped Starfire. As for her sister, isn't she like the same strength level as Starfire, namely significantly weaker than Namor?
Not seeing it. Namor has a history of fighting foes with similar heat blasts and flight, and he's quite a bit stronger/more durable than Starfire.
Let's get one thing straight at least: the only reason I'm not giving Namor 7-8/10 is because he has a weakness to being dehydrated. I can see her exploiting that for some wins, even though he has a history of dealing with powerful fire-based foes. However, it's obvious that his strength is leagues above Kory's.

BTW, I checked one of those links ... And LOL @ someone mentioning that Starfire "fought" Orion. She got really POed about Orion KOing Risk and sucker-blasted him. He easily shrugged off her blast (he was even talking as she poured it on) and took her out with one shot of Astro-Force. That's one of the worst showings to reference if you want to claim Kory's strength is in Namor's league.
Personally, I put Starfire's strength somewhere above Ms. Marvel, but below Knockout. So class 60-70ish Marvel terms. Namor's more like a low-end class 100.
