no offense dude but you probably wont... either you like em or you dont. did you ever drive one?

i love rcsbs just cause of the look, but that doesnt mean i wouldnt get a extended cab or crew cab if i could, i just chose the rcsb because it was way cheaper, i could make it faster, and i like the way they look.

you should go drive all of em and see which one you like the most

Well I realllly love how they look and I've driven hundreds of gm trucks before.

I know how they all drive. lol

I am still leaning toward the z71 because of the fact that there is no race track in hawaii and I would just try to make a 2wd rcsb truck fast. lol

Thats why I'm getting rid of the camaro in the 1st place.

if it was me id keep the maro, thats one BAMF dude.
but im sure you didnt wanna hear that so ill start by saying some advantages that I PERSONALLY found, other ppl might not think these are issues but heres my experience wit it

rcsb pros
-weight
-less windows to tint/wash, less body panel to wash/wax haha
-i personally love the shorter wheel base depending on what your doing wit it whether you plan to wheel it or not
-ive also found that its alot easier to look out the back window when your driving to merge over or check if theres ppl behind you when the windows right behind you head lol... also goes wit sayin there easier to drive

rcsb cons
-obviously no interior space (easily resolved, buy a truck with a slider and throw **** in the bad haha)
-no haulin ppl around which can sometimes be a good thing
-ive also foudn that longer wheel bases are good in the snow... being that your in hawaii you probably have to worry about that... never lol

it may seem as if i am pushin a rcsb with the opinions that i gave you... well thats cause i am cause you told me to lol

Well. I want to go wheelin but not hardcore. But I also like to go fast.

I can't do both.

Not in hawaii.

Maybe some good A/T tires or something. Nothing hardcore like I said.

They have these recon stickers you have to get over here if your **** is modified.
