1. It is not an SS so it's already not that great being a V-6.

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.
$75000 is supercar price range?
