I'd trade it for an FR-S easily.

1. It is not an SS so it's already not that great being a V-6.
2. It is a tank. It desperately needs a redesign and weight reduction. Chevy needs to learn from Ford because the 5.0 is still faster than the Camaro, minus the Z28 now, but that one is in supercar range in price.
3. Blind spots. This car has the worst blind spots of any sports car I've sat in.

Don't get me wrong, I've owned a previous generation Camaro SS, (2002 anniversary model with the checkered racing flag stripes) and I do love them. They're a great bang for your buck car like the Mustang GT 5.0. They just really need to go back to that LS-1 style body which was lighter and make it a bit safer for me to consider trading my FR-S back for one. For now, the only car I'd trade my FR-S straight up for is a new Mustang GT 5.0 because 400 horsepower from the factory is just nuts for under 30k.
