If you wanted more power, then I question whether you did your homework on this car before spending your hard earned money. Was this an impulse purchase?

hanabie · 06-21-2013, 10:40 PM

GO FUCKING TRADE THE CAR! THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE KNOW HOW TO APPRECIATE THE CAR.

Luis_GT · 06-21-2013, 10:46 PM

If you think power makes a better car... I have some very sad news for you...

I traded a 300HP mustang for my 225HP bimmer and have yet to miss the power

I was just about to say the exact same thing. Yeah, it's fun to stomp the go pedal but it drives like crap...

I would turbo or SC your current car -- had a Corvette that would break the national speed limit in 1st gear under 5 seconds -- so stupid fast and not so fun when it wasn't (low speed = boring). Bad gas mileage, and even worse reliability. Will be a cold day in hell before I buy another Chevy, and really do love the Vettes, just wish someone else made them. Camaro shares similar electronics/parts quality, so I say no.

Turbo or S/C the fr-s you say. Well i can turbo or s/c the camaro for about the same price. Fr-s is a amazing car, but i want PPOOOOWWWWEEEEERRRRRR!!! im 50/50 on the trade. So i need input!!! thanks.

If you want a camaro to replace this car.. Then you bought the wrong car to begin with.. You really want 1100 more lbs of mass to push around in corners?
My nephew has one.. SS version.. It's a tank.. Sorry.. No disrespect intended..
Look for a 2004 Z06 owned by some old guy who babied it.. You can thank me later...

cjdriiiiift · 06-21-2013, 11:04 PM

thanks for the input guys. But you all should understand ive put 30000 miles on this car. thats the most i put on any car, i would probably get bored of a F40 after 30000 miles. (ok prob not) i do not have much confidence in american car quality. Just the LS motors are so strong and unlimited power capabilities. Im just looking for the next best thing. I do appreciate this car, i do drift the car at events, and i do throw it into corners on a regular basis. After the input i might just wait for the power and just turbo the fr-s.

You should do what makes you happy.

Following that, the people who shop for a Camaro and the people who shop for an FR-S are not the same market. I'm curious how you ended up buying an FR-S. Did you not realize what you were getting into when you bought the car? Don't you think that short-sightedness is going to end up doing something similar when you trade it for another car? I'm not trying to be your dad or anything here, but it sounds like you're not making the most well-thought out decisions.

Also: you put so much mileage on it in one year that you've set yourself up to get the least possible amount back for it. The Chevy dealership is going to screw you when you show up wanting to get rid of a brand new car.

Mr.Jay · 06-21-2013, 11:20 PM

Friend has a Camaro SS and only thing it has over the FRS is power imo

I say get a 240z with a LS engine. Always wanted to do this.

Ls motor in frs

Demandred7 · 06-21-2013, 11:28 PM

Want more from Toyota, the next Chairman wants a "Supra like" car to be their next sports car. Wait about two years. Albeit for a few more clams than the FR-S.

BRZPDX · 06-21-2013, 11:29 PM

FI the FR-S, have fun with it for now. This car is just a teaser for the new Supra.

radroach · 06-21-2013, 11:38 PM

Only think I'd hold my breath for is the NSX Sport AWD hybrid concept [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJLQsQyBQOw"]Next Evolution Honda NSX Concept - YouTube[/ame] but again not in the same class as an FR-S or a camaro, the idea of having a SH-AWD sport car with hybrid emissions for city driving sounds awesome
