if you have the 3.8 (3800) engine, those have pretty good trannies. Unless you are over 600lbs i dont see how you would even notice. Maybe theres something else going on.

Ok its still under warranty at the shop so ill just have them look at it. I plan on running 7-8k with 1 north star sms 480 in the trunk and 2 amps with birch box and 2 ssa evil 12's. Really wana try and lighten up the weight as much as possible.

Most vehicals have a gross vehical rating that includes all passengers and cargo (typically around 600 lbs as another memeber mentioned) if ur under 600 lbs your car was designed to carry that weight (spread out through the cabin) If your weight is focused strictly in the trunk, expect that ass to sag down. I would upgrade the rear suspension and add some heavy duty gas shocks if your over 150lbs in the trunk. Maybe some one with a heavy trunk build can comment n their experience.
