frs or camaro
 

So I've been tossing up the idea of getting a new vehicle. My first choice was just upgrade from my v6 to a v8 camaro.
Last year when I see the commercial for it I decided I needed to have an frs. What are some onions. Should I stick with my camaro or go for an frs.
My price range is about 25k and I can get a brand new one for that.
How do these things handle and drive?
The nearest one is a decent ways away so I'm wondering if it'd be worth it to take the top to dive it.

All I know is the windows in the backseats in both of these cars suck. It's like an extra blind spot.

they're so different its stupid...

frs or camaro
 

on·ion
ˈənyən/
noun
plural noun: onions
1.
an edible bulb with a pungent taste and smell, composed of several concentric layers, used in cooking.
2.
the plant that produces the onion, with long rolled or straplike leaves and spherical heads of greenish-white flowers.

Probably more constructive than the outcome of this thread...

If you want straight line power stock, then stay with camaro. If you want something that handles the turns and is "FUN" to drive, then a FRS. They're entirely different cars built for different purposes all together. Go take some test drives is the best place to start. :)

No one can possibly tell you that.

We cannot tell you what your favorite ice cream is, nor who will be your best girlfriend.

Power is fun; power is addictive. A V-8 Camaro/Mustang will give you that. Fun cars.

The BRZ/FR-S is more about handling and agility. It is very lightweight and nimble. It, too, is a lot of fun. But powerful?

No.

Sure.

You'll never know if you don't try it, right? Go drive one; it'll be fun and you'll learn some things.

Come back and share what you learned. :)

C'mon guys we can be more helpful than that. I do suggest you do a bit of research before posting. If you had taken a look at the Chevy website you would have seen that the starting price for a V8 Camaro is nearly $35k. You're probably not going to negotiate that down to the $25k region. If you can stretch your budget to that extent, then you have to decide do I want heavy and fast or light and fun.

The way I see it is: a tuner car that you can mod to make it fast and to your personal tastes or a more powerful car that doesn't have such a strong aftermarket backup.

Well, HELLO @failingpig from Joplin ..... and ..

As suggested, I'd recommend that you go drive a FR-S or a BRZ. I see where Frank Fletcher has a few FR-Ss in stock.

I reckon after a test drive ...... the answer will be clear to you (whatever that may be).

After your test drive, come on back and we can further discuss.....:)

I would think a camaro would have more aftermarket support than a BRZ/FR-S. I will admit that I haven't looked into it though - that's just an off the cuff guess.

You're in luck! I'm in KS...not too far from you! If you go FRS / BRZ you must purchase all season tires IMMEDIATELY! (you know what our Winter was like!...I hope it is over) The oem Michelins become bricks at approximately 34 degrees.

I've never driven a Camaro, so I cannot comment. As for the FRS/BRZ, If power and speed is your aim then this is not a car for you....unless you have FI $$! I'm sure a Camaro is more thirsty than a FRS/BRZ, so good luck in staying out of the throttle on a car with above 200 hp....I could not!

I'm 44 and not a drag racer, I ride a crotch rocket, so my needs are met that way! If power is not your pure motivation, then go FRS/BRZ! God speed!

I would think the Camaro is mostly supported in the US while the BRZ/FR-S is supported by the import scene worlwide..

Are you kidding? There is so much support for the lsx it's rediculous. Suspension, motor, aesthetics....

I knew ls were supported, just didn't knew they were more than Japan's new baby
