Most, if not all mid-size Sedans with the higher-performance engine option will beat a BRZ. IMO it really needs a turbo/supercharger in North America to be relevant. It doesn't even need that much boost since it's not that heavy, just enough to give it some low-end umph and that should solve the problem. There are rumours that the next gen will get a 2.4 engine, which might help as well.

I actually priced out a Camaro 2LT 1LE w/2.0T in Canada to be the same price as a GT 86. That's kinda messed up. In the US, though, the Camaro 2LT 1LE w/2.0T will be like a grands or two more than the GT 86.

The list would be a lot more convincing if it features something like lightly used C7 and some German performance cars(M4, Cayman, etc.). At least that's a cross-shopping combination I can see happen. I personally went through cross-shopping used C7 and a new SS 1LE. Got the rare chance of being able to have both, though I can't say I really like the circumstance of why that happened. RIP C7...
