Camaro or 86?

Very anecdotal but I've driven :melon: 's and a couple rental Camaros and the interior space felt pretty similar to me versus the 86. I think the Camaro is indeed a bit bigger but the visibility is a bit worse, so it felt more claustrophobic to me.

86 visibility isn't great and it's interesting to me that people tear the Camaro apart over this when 86 and Mustang are not as bad but similar. The inside of the 86 is kind of dark and not airy feeling for me.

Cale fit fine in the BRZ. I'm 6'2", about 175 lbs, all torso and fit great. Wish the wheel extended out a little further, but the overall driving position is one of the best things about it.

GAWDDAMN. That's a time capsule.

"The 7.4-liter Vortec V8 was factory rated at 290 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque."
Peak torque at idle. Love it.

They should still make quarter ton Subs. The GMT800s with the 8.1 are :muah:

I've never really known/understood what the tonnage designations in :truk: mean, care to explain quarter ton, half ton, etc.?

Agreed that that thing is hot.
