Default WS6 Body Roll

So I totaled my 02 SS Camaro and acquired a 02 WS6. It seems that the stock WS6 has more body roll in the twisty parts than the stock 02 SS Camaro had. Is this normal or is there something wrong with the car?

The amount of body roll you have between the two cars should pretty similar so I am not sure exactly why the WS6 feels like it has more body roll. Is there a big mileage difference between the two vehicles?

Have you looked underneath at the condition of the swaybar endlinks? They are common to wear out and will cause the car to get excessive body roll. The Ws6 and SS had very comparable (if not identical) suspensions from the factory

The front end links are good. I haven't checked the rear yet.
