Actually I didn't take too much of a hit. Traded for $9,495 difference on a car that stickered for $37,035. The car was a special event car that Chevrolet had on display at Camaro Fest. Had 170 miles on it when I picked it up.

As far as a comparison goes it's kind of comparing apples to oranges. The Camaro is huge in comparison both in size and weight, but with the 1LE package drives a lot smaller than it is. I'll probably be doing quite a few track events and autocrossing with it.

I loved the FRS but was never really happy with the car for autocross. My driving style probably had a lot to do with it. I've always been much more successfull driving higher powered cars that pull hard out of a corner. Guess I'm more of a point and shoot driver compared to a momentum one.

There's night and day difference between the SS and the 1LE. They engineered a ton of understeer out of the 1LE stealling a bunch of suspension parts from the ZL and running 285/35/20 tires front and rear rather than 305's in the back. 10" and 11" wide wheels from the ZL1. Close ratio tranny, short shifter and 3.91 rear gears.
