We do not have them here (yet at any rate). There are a 1 and 2 LT and a 1 and 2 SS and that is it. There are a bunch of options for any of those versions though.

There is a Z28 with like 6K miles (Finally saw in IRL), about 250 yards from where I'm sitting right now just up the street at the Mazda dealership (oh the irony), It's red and I was looking at it yesterday. The front bottom air diffuser/spoiler is crazy, one pothole hit around these roads and that thing would be annihilated. It is a very sexy car.

I'm thinking about letting them run my credit and stroking them with a potential 10K down, just so I can test drive it. But not today, maybe on a dry sunny day. Asking price is $52K

I'll warm it up right next to the Dodge dealership and ask them to bring out the hellcat sitting in the showroom. lolz

Those new Z28's are beautiful cars.. I'm hoping they do something similar with the newest gen

I honestly don't see the difference between a Civic SI and a Camaro besides weight. Both feel clunky. Would I own one? Maybe a Challenger.

I'd have to try a 2016 to see of its really all that better from the 2014 and 2012 i drove.

You talk about the Camaro having weight... then you consider a 4300lbs challenger??

Beat me to it! The look up "clunky" in the dictionary and there is a picture of a Challenger.

I have never even sat in an Si much less drove one and the comparison sort of baffled me as well.

New camaros are awesome cars, and if I was in the market for a newer sports coupe, that would be my first place to hunt. I'm a sucker for Chevy's though.

My SI wasn't clunky at all :shrug:

Not me. I'm still in touch with reality lol.

I traded my FRS in for a '16 STI and love it. It's a much more suitable and practical every day, all around vehicle. I wouldn't call it a BETTER car than the FRS though. Better in certain aspect, but not just plain better.

I miss the FRS sometimes. It was loads of fun. Most fun car I've ever owned. I just wanted something more usable and "complete" from the factory.

After building cars and spending so much money on them, I'm kind of tired of it lol. I just want something that gives me what I want from the start.

Yep, You, Raven, Tenn and a couple of others are the exception! You guys knew what you wanted and why you needed to change but do not (usually) try to tell the rest of us that we are dumb for liking it for what it is. There are others that will tell us all day long what is wrong with the car and scoff at anybody that likes it.

Right.

But, to play devil's advocate, there are also members on this forum that believe the FRS/BRZ are the ultimate vehicle, and can do no wrong. They believe the car is absolutely 100% flawless and they are totally perfect, as is from the factory.

I don't understand how that conclusion is reached, but to each their own, I suppose.
