Gas mileage.

All together just a lot better then the Camaro for what I need to do. Just sucks cause I <3 my Camaro and I would have no choice but to sell it then figure out where to get a bunch more money for the TBSS.

I just don't see why you can't just park the Camaro and buy something, oh I don't know, more practical?
If you think your TB SS is going to get through the snow with those low-profile Goodyear piles of ****, you are sadly mistaken. You might be lucky to get through light to medium rain with them.
Look, do what you want, but if I had a massive life change where I now have to travel long distances, through various climate changes, and you want to pick a 400hp SUV with 20 inch wheels?

I figured i could get enough performance out of the TBSS to keep me happy and it would be a good amount better in the rain and snow situations and WORLDS better at the people and stuff carrying. I know it wouldn't be the most practical thing to do and i also didnt expect it to be. And i would also have no problem buying a beater wrangler or something but i have absolutely no room left as is for another vehicle it looks like im trying to run a car lot out of a 1 car garage and 2 car driveway right now >_<

I have driven through plenty of bad weather. Yes the stock tires suck. But it's not nearly as bad as you are making it al

and for "chrysler" comments. i have 113k on my jeep srt8 and the only issue ive had was the rad fan need to be replaced just last week. so other then oil i have $180 into repairs over those miles.

Tune it, stack it, and be happy not owning a jeep product.
Only downside is, there is no chance of becoming a mod without owning a jeep.

Fairly certain a dmax gets better MPG than the TBSS.
