Is it dollar for dollar? Is it just handling or overall performance? Is it both those things? These are ALL different questions with different answers.

Is it a 260 whp 86 versus a 400whp camaro with an add on package for performance?

Again, that's an asinine comparison when the first question is, which handles better.

how do you define handling? is it average skid pad? I still haven't seen the skid pad on an 86 with 275 rcomp rubber. You can fit 275 rcomp rubber on an otherwise stock frs.

That and decent coils will still put you 14K under the price of an ss 1le and I would bet dollars to donuts that the 86 will put down better average G's just with that.

Sorry, read post #19, (It may take longer than 2 seconds though) the dollar amounts of the cars that the SS 1LE can and does compare to (on those tests) are astounding. So, a $45K 1LE hangin with a $219K car.

I do agree that the comparison between SS 1LE and BRZ is asinine, but for different reasons other than dollar amount, but again the context is a BRZ owner stating the BRZ can "out handle the 1LE all day".

good luck with your BRZ, it's a great looking and fun to drive car!
