So far... love the all black color!

I traded it in for more power and a black coupe is more of my taste.

Was driving the BRZ (with stock tires) first time in a month since snow hit Minnesota. I must say, its scary driving it even at dry conditions. I could feel the car just lose control. Tires are too narrow. But then again, thats to be expected with no winter tires.

Its just too light that it drifts way too easily. Can be fun, but dangerous at the same time. But then again, what do I know.... I traded it in for more horse.

Side by side, the BRZ has a better style compared to the C5, but interior wise, the camaro has a lot more room and much more practical.

I do have another car I drive for winter, so snow isnt a problem for me. I'll be storing this in the garage when theres snow on the ground.

Driving home with the Camaro on the same road condition felt safer than the BRZ. Was able to pull at higher speeds without worrying about the car going sideways.

As far as the front license plates goes.... I think the dealership already did the damage on the car and drilled the holes there. Might as well just keep it since its required in the state of MN. I had the GrimSpeed license relocator kit on the BRZ so they wouldnt have to drill holes on the front bumper.

I just cant wait to opticoat it.

Anyone tried it on theirs yet?

Ah we'll, hopefully his BRZ will go to someone who appreciates it, and isn't just looking for a muscle car.

The new camaro has the absolute worst clutch and shifter feel that I have ever drive ever period... I work at a Chevy dealer.... The interiors stuck... The suspension is terrible all versions suck... The base to the zr1 they're all horrible and I hate them...

I had an SS as a rental when I was in Austin for the F1 race. I could NOT WAIT until I got back in my BRZ.

Sad day indeed.

I hope he enjoys the cramped and awkward interior. Seriously, how on Earth did Chevy make a car SO big on the outside, yet there's no interior room at all?

Omg.... This is so true.... Sitting one I feel like I'm in a large room but while driving one I feel like I'm driving a smart car full of shit...

I can do burnouts and donuts in my frs..why you no buy turbo kit? lol


To each his own, i drove a buddies camaro and i literally could not see anything while backing up, the retro gauges were cool....i guess

I have never liked the new Camaro's. About 2 years ago, before i had heard about the FR-S/BRZ, I saw a Camaro on a dealership and decided to check it out since it was the first one i had seen in person, sat in it and got out in about 20 seconds cuz i was starting to get clastrophobic, which never happens and has never happened since, i had even tried to move the seat. Definately if comparing that car to any muscle car i'd definately take the Mustang, less weight, more fuel economy, and much more interior room and better sound IMO. But very happy with my FR-S and wouldnt take anything for it!

Because GM.

[mattles]

Fail. Financially, performance, and comfort are all worse with the Camaro. Should have got the Mustang dude.

Can you change your screen name and remove the pinoy... you're making us look bad!

Lol, OP never came back. Lots of 'maro haters in here, not that I'm a fan. They do have a terrible interior tho.

Nothing wrong with muscle cars, just another type of car to love.
