Seems like you got used to just driving cars. I kinda like driving trucks a little more. Sure they might be a little sluggish when you step on the gas sometimes, but when you need the power, you get it.

Pros: fun, looks good, decent MPG, lots of mods, great community, very safe "you should see the accidents people walk away from"

Cons: drives like a boat, cheap plastic interior, blind spots

That's the problem with owning a truck. Everyone either wants to borrow it to haul something or expect you to help them move. Been there done that... All anyone asks you to haul in a Camaro is ASS!!!

Depends what you need a new car for. Know that then you can do the pros and cons.

What do you mean drives like a boat? Is it bulky or something?

I have a v6 and there is a lot of body roll. I think the v8 should be a better car to drive. I am also use to driving lighter cars which also could be the problem. I am looking to get an Eibach pro system plus kit when it is available. My friend got this kit for his 07 Mustang GT. There is now a very very minimal amount of body roll and the only thing holding his car back now is his tires.

That's pretty odd for a pretty new car. Have you checked out your suspension or shocks? Maybe thats causing the body roll? I'm sure the eibach kit would help it out a lot. Cause I know newer cars usually don't have a lot of body roll and it's just pretty weird yours does.

My 2010 had more body roll than my 2012. Maybe they have upgraded the suspension of the 2012 or maybe it's do to the lower center of gravity of the Convertible. Also you may want to invest in a strut tower brace.

I will soon, but the main problem is how high the car is. I have the 1g kit from Granatelli and it definitely makes the car solid but the height is the main problem.

That should lower your CG. Also wider wheels and low profile tires. Are you still running the stock size? From what I have read optimum size rims are 19" if you are more concerned about handling.

Right now I have 22"s on my car but I have the stock 18"s alloy rims still. I am looking to get the 1*"s widened and also buy stickier tires for more performance orientated driving

Personally I would rather have a V8 Silverado over a V6 Camaro.
