Looks like a cross between an S2000 and a Spyder with a little 350Z thrown in there. The spoiler is a little bit too big for my taste though.

The main difference with a DI V6 (Camaro) vs a turbo 4-cyl is torque. The DI V6 engine has about 275ft/lbs of torque. The turbo has to build boost to reach maximum torque, which on a 2.0L 4-cyl will probably be around 200-225ft/lbs. So off the line, the Camaro would be faster but because the FT-86 will be considerably lighter it would probably beat it on a 1/4 mile.

All in all, it will come down to looks. Do you want an import or do you want muscle? I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.
