also, check your weatherstripping, hatch latch, etc if you're hearing some wind noise

I'm the retard?!?! You bought a F-Body and thought it was going to have the cabin noise of a BMW, if you ask me you're the retard haha. No but really, I would have to say at least 98% of the F-bodies I have been in all had audible road noise, they didn't put much for sound deadening material in them from the factory. The only thing you can really do is check your weatherstripping, make sure everything is properly adjusted (rear hatch especially) Subframe connectors alleviated a vast majority of the squeaks and rattles that I was getting out of my car. And double check all of the interior panels to make sure they are properly fastened. Or you can refer to my first post which seems the most reasonable to me.

Yeah, and also check the bump stop screw thing at the corners and make sure they are adjusted right. Also if you've changed tires recently, some tires have a LOT more road noise then others and you just have to live with it, aside from using sound deadening material under your carpet/behind plastics like mentioned above.
