That's a huge concern for me with any variant of the C8. It will be no less than 3500 lb (approx. 1600 kg) and that is a lot of weight into corners and I fear it'll dull up the experience a good bit. I mainly got the FT86 for that light nimble feeling.
Nope. The alpha platform is amazing. The only thing I miss is the brake feel and brake pedal with the 86 and essex/ap racing brakes. The ZLE is better in every other way. Well... minus consumable cost. I'm not a "camaro guy" but the 6th gen ss 1le and better cars truly are amazing cars for the money. Even with the perfectly good brz sitting around I still take the Camaro to track days without regret. It's a brilliant car.
