That's what I'd do personally. It's a lot easier to make that car go really fast than to make that truck go pretty fast.

Its not as hard to make a car fast, which is one reason I got a truck in the first place, its alot more impressive seeing a truck do a 12 second pass then a car doing a 10 or 11. nothing beats the face of someone who just got there butt kicked by a pickup truck in a race. But I am leaning towards the diesel, sure shifting is fun, but I could always/plan to put a t56 in the current truck. And the diesel would be a perfect all year around DD/ toy hauler, more practical to when hanging out with friends, more room, bed space, etc

you hit the nail on the head, when Im driving I can only have 1 other personn in my current truck, 2 seats suck, with the duramax I could carry 4 more.

You also hit the nail on the head, I know I couldnt keep my hands of the camaro for long before I mod it to much and break ****, where as the diesel has good power already and the thought of rebuilding an allison scares me to much to mod it to much haha

That's a good question. I haven't made a decision on what I'm going to do yet
