Other than sight lines the 16 Camaro is a substantially better car.

Buy a Porsche 918 Spyder, but if you must buy a SS, it's still better than a Yugo.

What do you think
I've driven both and I like both. My brother-in-law has an FRS (twin of the BRZ). Great little car.

All depends on how you want to use your car. I'm a road course guy. And when I decided to stop using my V6 Camaro as my track car and as my DD only the twins were in my potential listings of cars. Sure they are lacking in power but they are well balanced and a drivers car.

But again like I said depends on what you want to primarily do with the car.

Did I buy one? No, do I still want to own one, sure if I could. I would have changed too much on it but it is a good starting point for what I would use it for.

I know a guy that gutted his, full aero, and boosted pushing 500hp and he flies by nearly everything on the track.

what are you doing with either car? Daily..Camaro. Track car...86. Those little cars can be made into rockets too but all have the same weak transmission issues.
