Default Trans Am or Camaro

I have been an owner of both. A 2001 Camaro and now a 2002 Trans Am WS6 just wondering, which of these to cars do you like best.

I went with the Trans Am when I decided to buy an f-body, just liked the looks of the T/A better.

lets see between the z28 and trans am the trans am looks better.
betwwen the SS and WS6 they are both about the same
i you but a z28 and wanted it to look like an SS you would need a hood, spoiler, wheels.
If you get a trans am all you need is a hood and wheels
trans am may be heavier than a Z28 due to larger front and rear bumpers and side skirts
just my 2cents

TA = Z28
SS = WS6

TA looks meaner but a Camaro looks cleaner

you can't go wrong with an LS1. its up to personal tastes...ive had both and love them both. my SS i have now is so sleek, but the T/A looked meaner than hell. as a cruiser, i personally like my SS. its a little more rare than a WS6...at least around here.

I love the F body in gerneral. But I have to go with the birds. They just seem to look meaner than a Camaro and that is in all generation.

I prefer the Camaro, I just think it looks better than a Trans Am. Don't get me wrong, I like the Firebird, but I love the Camaro.

I'm going to go with Camaro. I love the Camaro line and history. I agree the Trans Am looks mean, but I'd still go with the camaro.

It was quite a toss-up when I was shopping for an LS1 F-body. I went back and forth for 3 months between the WS6 and SS before finally decinding on the SS. The WS6 is a brute and it shows it; like a body builder in a wifebeater. The SS seems a little more refined, like a guy that could kick your *** in a nice suit. Maybe it was the Silver/Ebony combo that finally brought me to my decision. (Couldn't find a WS6 w/ the same.)
