I tradded in my 2010 twin turbo camaro for my FRS. Knowing the FRS was very slow stock. But it was fun to drive and handled very well. I added some boost and now its faster then my camaro I had. But gets better mpg and I can fit in any parking space. Plus when I beat expensive cars i can say you got beat down by a scion LOL. An 11-12sec car for 33k is not bad in my book. Plus the FRS is very cheap in the maintenance side. When is the last time a light weight rear wheel drive car was built? Alot of people do motor swaps with light weight cars. But the engine in this car is crazy once boost is added. In the end its your decision. How ever I will tell you this if you get rid of this car you are going to mess it.
