The only reason I can add the 86 to the mix is.... despite being a 4 seater. It's still has 2 seater dimensions, driving dynamics and weight. The Genny doesn't Nor does the camaro or any muscle. We can compare Porsche but I was comaring more attainable marks...
Agreed. My Genny is a FANTASTIC GT car for the money. As a sports car it falls short against the Z. Though IMHO it's a better GT car than either a mustang or camaro. For the money that is.
