I like both, but have traditionally preferred the Camaro. The TA's have a few angles I don't care for, though so does my SS, so for a gen 4...

Get whatever you like best. I do wish there were something akin to the Phoenix for the Camaro. I saw a WS6 last week - black with a yellow Phoenix on the hood, and it looked sweet!

true statement. I love the WS6 look though but i see far more WS6's than SS's. id have to get a firehawk or blackbird if i got a trans am car. yeah, replying to the pheonix thing. i saw something like that. black ws6 with a big pheonix outline painted on the hood...in ghost. it was so sweet.

Heres a few of my car...
I love the nose of the WS6, but I dont like the rear ends of those cars, especially the wing.
I think the front end of the camaros can look pretty mean too (see pic)

need you ask my opinion? WS6 just looks nasty as hell. As (WS6)long as it (WS6)is an fbody, (WS6)you cant go wrong(WS6) though. (just a little subliminal*spelling* message!) W S 6

Trans am/ ws6 all the way. With a ws6 you ride up behind people on the highway, and they quickly move out of your way...seriously...

For me its always been....

Firebirds & T/A's = Organic Styling

Camaro = Sleek High Style...smooth

I like them both..it seems that almost any wheel will go on a TA but Camaros stylingis a bit finiky....

Althougth..I've seen more "Outlandish" and "Loud" (Im not saying bad..) styling on TA's than on anyother car Ive ever seen....

going back to subliminal messaging....the firehawk is good
'blackbird' 'blackbird'
but there is one that looks even better,
'blackbird' 'blackbird' 'blackbird' 'blackbird'
and its the blackbird.

another vote for the ws6. like someone else said the camaros look like a catfish.... the 93-97 camaros look way better than the 98-02. and im not biased, as soon as i graduate im getting an 02 ws6 or firehawk. whatever i find first with low miles. and im definately keeping the lt1.

Get what you want personally I love both cars and think they both look awesome, but what sold me on the camaro is that the T/A, Firebird has pop up headlights and I really dont like them. Here is my car if it helps at all.





And a pic of my 67 just cause I love it so much

I own both a 99 30th WS6 and an 01 SS Camaro and I lean a little to the TA in factory trim, but when it comes to modifications I like the Camaros.

While they WS6s do look pretty mean from the front end, I think the Camaro has its own appeal in that regard as well:



I think the Trans Am looks better stock than the Camaro, but from what I've seen, the aftermarket for appearance mods is larger for the Camaro.

Here's a pic for comparison:

I prefer the sleek lines of the Camaro for some reason, but I think if I got another F-body, it would be a pewter WS6, just because they look so amazing.

But for now, I love my Z28.
