Even though I have two Z-28s, I would have to go with the TA, just looks meaner, but I have SLPs Ultra Z hood on one of mine, that looks pretty good too I think.

it depends what you want...i like the camaro because i think its a "purist" car. it came out first and was what started the f body for GM (don't flame, just my opinion). but there is a really good quote in somebodys sig around here it goes something like:
"an SS looks like it can kick your ***, but a T/A looks like it's coming over to do it."

I luv my SS but if I was gonna get ANOTHER fbody it would be a CE T/A.

I would go for the Ws6. Looks meaner, the seats are better and has a little more room inside.

I'd have to say go with the SS. A TA looks like its screaming: "HEY, I'm over here look at me look at me. Over here come on look at me!!" A SS looks like, "go play with the TA...cause I'm not a toy."

Sometimes I wish I had a WS6. After I saw the latest issue of GMHTP, there was a member on this board who painted his car EBM with light blue ghost flames I was

You just can't pull of flames well on an SS IMO. Plus the stripe options for the Birds is a bit more extensive if you ask me. You've got the blackbird stripes, the CE T/A stripes, the 30th Anny style stripes, then just the solid hood stripes. You can even get the 35th LE Camaro checker style stripes for the T/A nostrils.

Then again, I'm kinda glad I don't have a "LOOK AT ME" car, I have enough tickets already.

Either one would be a good choice

personally ive owned 2 fbodys and both suxed, the motors were awsome but as far as the rest of the car there crap, i vote wait for the next GEN to come out and put down a decent down payment , or get a 03 04 Cobra or Lightning, i own both now and there so much more fun and less expensive to modd

I've always been partial to Camaro, never cared for WS6 all that much until I saw this pic of a black one, something about the pic, and the car just made it look damn mean. I looked at them before I got my second f-body, but ended up getting my SS instead. May not be as intimidating as a WS6, but still looks good and whoops just as much *** on the street :p

Both! Seriously though, they're the same car basically, so it's really all in which style you like better!

How are the interiors? Isn't the pontiac a little better seating and more standared features?

I don't think you can go wrong with either. As far as the cobra I hope you're not looking at that because of styling, IMO they look just plain next to an SS or WS6, now if you're looking at it for the motor that's a different story

I have owned 4 Camaro's (92, 94, 94, 01 current car)
&
2 TA's 97 WS6, and 99 Ram Air TA.

IMHO I have had more fun in my 01 Z then I have ever had in my TA.
