As xsta said, "Both have their good and bad points." I personally like the camaro seats better, even though both are nice. The firebird door pannels are a little nicer. As for the dash... I like both but I'll have to prefer the cleaner look of the camaro, could just be that I own one though too .

I have a camaro SS with cloth seats. kinda unusual? I think so. but its kinda cool. BUt i do like the TA alot as well, but i wouldnt have a stock stero so it would look alot better.

I have to vote for the Camaro. I have just never liked the Firebird's interior.

My cousin has a '01 TA and the seats in his car feel a lot more comfortable than the ones in my Z...the TA interior (console and door panels) seem a bit too flashy....IMO...the most important thing though is that LS1's Hall ***!!!!!!

One of the reasons I bought the TA was the interior!

Same here. I've alway owned Camaros until I sat in the 4th Gen TA. I really liked it and the seats are great.

As a Formula owner, I say CAMARO...
I can't stand looking at my space-age dash. I love the simplicity of the Chevy interior.

Pontiac looks nicer IMO and the Trans-AM leather seats are hard to beat.

Had a 98 Trans Am with leather now I have a 99 Camaro with cloth. Pontiac hands down is better. Round vents, the cool orange gages, lumbar support, and an adjustable headrest. To this day I can't believe Firebirds have an adjustable headrest and Camaros don't! Why don't they have the same seat??

I prefer the simple lines of the Camaro interior. I'd take a good set of C5 seats, though...

It's all opinion..

I choose a Z over A T/A because I don't like the T/A interior. I think the Camaro interior is much cleaner looking. I hate red lights on interior (my eyes have trouble focusing on red, so the guages look like a blurry picture to me), Don't like the round vents, square vents look more natural in these cars (although being able to put gauges in there is cool), of course the hvac controls don't look appealing at all in the T/A's. Never been a fan of the bulky plastic stuff on the door panels. Basically, put a Z interior in a T/A and that would be sweet IMO because T/A's look great.

I do like the T/A guage pod bezel, which is why I have one in the Z!!

Pontiac all the way here. Instrument cluster guage design, color. Better Radio W/ EQ. Circular vents.

Both have their good points, but I say Pontiac. I like the Red lights (unique to the Division), the slightly more curvacious lines, and the seats. The camaro dash/door panels are nice and fit it well, but the seats are so-so. Pre-97 camaro interiors are awesome though: unique and even has that added storage space below the radio.

I love the Camaro interior and the TA leather seats. It's why I have both!

I'd have to go with the camaro interior. Both my buddies have had 3rd and 4th gens and the Birds always look like to much thought went in to them. Not good thought just too much though. I personally think you lose the over all look of the car when you have nice goofy buttons and ***** and vents like the bird. And the seats...well yeah lumbar is nice...but you try gettin in and out of them without ruining them, alot easier and less wear on the camaro seats. The removable head rest is nice and the speakers in the doors are nice too.

Back To The Future was sooo 80s man....

Pontiac interior, the only thing I dont like about it is the buldge on the passenger door. The Driver door plastic is flush and the passenger has a budlge when it gets to the speaker.
