The BRZ is going to be at least 10K cheaper, which is significant. The BRZ would lose on a road course and a dragstrip, obviously. But that's not the point of the car. It's a lightweight RWD sports car build for carving mountain/back roads for a very affordable price.
It will be significantly cheaper to run and own versus an SS 1LE as well. Cheaper tires, cheaper brakes, cheaper gas, probably cheaper insurance too. You can wring it out on the street without getting into trouble (i.e. speeding) very quickly, like you will with an SS.
If I already had a high powered Camaro, I would total consider a BRZ for a change of pace and driving dynamics.
