Sounds like you're overly fixated on power. Power tells you nothing, performance is all about power/WEIGHT.
Of course a V8 Camaro is much much quicker than an FR-S/BRZ. But to me it's kind of silly that a ~430hp SS can only do ~110 in the 1/4, and the 580hp ZL1 less 120mph. So much power wasted on so much MASS. I am kinda jaded, though :P
For that kind of car, I'd much much MUCH sooner get a 400hp LS2 GTO and save $15-$20k, have a lower-slung and (to me) much sportier-looking car with an (to everybody) INFINITELY better-looking interior. A few mods to the LS2 (LS3 or L92 heads, mild cam) and you're easily well over 500hp.
