Need help Ok I need an argument settled so i thought id come here and ask my fellow ls1 members.
My roomate says that camaros and trans ams are the same basically. Besides basic engine and tranny specs hes going as far as saying they were built on the same assembly line and gm owns pontiac. I do not know the full history of pontiac and gmc but is this true and if so do you have a website for proof?
Thanks for your help

GM owns, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Cadillac, GMC, Buick, Saturn, Holden, Hummer, Saab, part of Isuzu and a bunch other I can't think of off the top of my head right now, just like Ford owns Volvo, Aston Martin, Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda
Not sure if the Firebird and Camaro were built on the same assembly line, I kinda doubt it but the differences really boil down to styling (exterior and interior). Both are great cars and the best bang for the buck you can get if you want performance.

Both built at the same plant.

No i am not post whoring. Was a serious question. I knew gm owned all the companies but was wondering about the same assembly line. Didnt know if both camaro and trans am were built off the same line.
