HELL NO!!!!! Set the pressure for 36psi at every tire to get the best grip and tread life. Lower can lead to blowouts and extra wear on the edges. Higher can lead to balooning and extra center wear.

I had a 99 Avenger ES for almost 12 years, and could feel every little bump in the road (which I actually appreciated). I agree that the Camaro feels like a Cadillac in comparison to other "sporty"cars.

Thanks for the help
Back on topic, I have the exact same car and she's very smooth. I suspect you need the wheels rebalanced. Any tire shop can do this, but your dealer will probably take care of this for free.

Also, as CrazyDan suggests, the stock Pirelli P-Zeros can get hard below 40 degrees. If the car has been sitting for a while, flatspotting and hard compound will cause a rough ride. Just drive for ~10 miles and it should go away. That said, the P-Zeros are dangerous when cold, so think about another set of tires for winter (I'm running LS wheels with BF Goodrich Radial TA Spec tires right now).
