My wife has a 2010 RS (V6) and it's a totally different car than my FRS. The Camaro is a loaded couch on wheels that can't get out of its own way and doesn't want to and doesn't apologize for it! You can't see shit, the steering is numb, the car is a pig. But 300+ HP is nice even if the pig weighs 3800 lbs. Sometimes I like to drive it and play with the flappy paddle shifters (I installed aftermarket GT shifters the OEM shifter buttons are a joke) and the mufflers I installed sound great. But it's not a drivers car, it's a cruising car. The FRS is a drivers car 100%
The FRS has way less power, doesn't sound or look as good but every corner reminds me why I like it so much better. I'd like to race them in a quarter just to see how the FRS would do. 1000 lbs less is a big advantage. The FRS is connected to the road, it's alive and it's fun to drive and keeps me involved in the drive for more reasons than just it's being a MT. The Camaro is AT which doesn't help. I like having the camaro to drive sometimes but if I had to drive it all the time I'd hate it. The FRS could be my only car and I'd be fine with it every day.
