Nothing wrong with that, but you gotta be a little more clear with what you want to have. Camaro is definitely more of a sports car than a GT car. M240i will lean more towards the GT car on that spectrum.



I mean, I owned an RX-8 before, so your S65's torque is fine compared to the Renesis. Fuel-economy-wise, the RX-8 gets around the same gas mileage as my Camaro despite being lighter, making 1/2 of the peak power and 1/3 of the peak torque. Yet it was a very fun car that's nimble with the 9000 RPM redline and the unique rotary scream. There is nothing like VTEC, it just revs and revs smoothly until the shift beeper goes off.

S65 also sounds so good with the right exhaust. There was an E92 M3 that drove past me once and I just had to tell the owner how good the engine sounds. Much better than the weed whacker that is the S55.

And that's the thing, these cars don't have to beat the Camaro SS 1LE at the track to make you appreciate them, especially with the EV trend now, you will never see something like E9x M3 or Mazda rotary sports cars again. Yeah, these engines are more dramatic than an LT1, but I'd be willing to put up with the drama just because they are special. I would love to just keep an FD RX-7 around even though 70% of the time, it starts every time, LOL.

I miss my '94 FD I had in Japan. I need to get stationed over there again so I can bring one back. Nothing like a rotary.
