They're very different... what the hell do you want? SS/WS6/Firehawk are going to be the same performance. Choosing between those 3 are going to be looks alone. An SS is going to be "affordable", a WS6 is going to be more expensive, and a Firehawk is going to be REALLY expensive. The LS2 GTO is in its own league. Higher performance, different interior, steeper price tag.

SS - it is nice but I was always more of a TA fan (sorry biased) and I just see to many of them, there definetly not all Super Sports but still to many maros. Well here in florida anyway.

Firehawk - never liked the hood that makes it look like 2 big front vents instead of 4 , and never like the firehawk decals on it

LS2 GTO - great interior but it wont stand out, even with the nice hood. and hate the rear.

WS6 - simply beautiful, intimidating, and guaranteed to turn heads. and it is just so bad *** to say you have a Trans Am (very very biased)

there is an old saying "A Camaro SS looks like it can kick some ***, a Trans Am looks like its on its way to do it"

He is right, just do some info, look at them really hard for a while, if you can sit/test drive them go ahead. Sit in a trans am and u sat in a firhawk and WS6 at the same time. Go to a pontiac dealership and test out the goats etc..., here everyone will have a biased opinion. Just be glad you didn't put a mustang on ur poll then you would really get hell.

just to bust some chops

GTO - looks like a glorified Grand Prix
SS - looks like a cat fish, also a bit like a chrysler concorde (the boys at daimler copied a bit)
WS6/Firehawk - unique...

in the end just imagine which one would look great in your drive thru

Look, this is going to be your car and you are going to be the one driving it every day or every weekend, whatever. You need to drive them all and see wich you like the best. In terms of price it is going to be GTO-Firehawk-WS6-SS, take that into consideration as well.

OK to make it easy, the performance is pretty much the same, the added HP for the GTO is countered by the extra weight. and the interior is nicer with the GTO's and it would be newer. And a F body is an F body is an F body, really no major difference just get whatever you like the looks of better

I love my Formula, but if I had the money I would definitely get an LS2 Goat.

I voted SS, but that is my preference, followed VERY closely by the Firehawk. This poll isn't going to help you decide at all because most everyone is gonna vote for what they have. No Vette options? I would take a C5 way before an LS2 Goat.

I used to have an auto z28, but i'm lookin for somethin that stands out more

I would never consider even sitting in a mustang, i've been a gm fan since i was a kid(only17) lol

The goat is out, it blends in too well

I'm lookin more towards a ws6 or a firehawk because of how scarce they are around here, especially an SOM ws6

but i've only seen 1 firehawk and it was an auto at a dealership ( want a 6 speed)

As for the c5, it was considered but when i went to test drive one i didnt fit ( 6'2" 320lbs) lol

NONE! C5 vette or 03/04 Cobra!

No offence man, if you can't fit in the vette, I'm not sure how you could fit in an f-bod.
