Default Camaro Vs Firebird (Appearance)

Conseridering gettin a new car and its gonna either b a z or T/a but since appearance wise they same as v6 just about i think yall can help me out. The T/a for what im lookin for is about 1500-2k more xpensive but to me the T/a with a ws6 hood is damn sexy. I was hoping you guys could show me some pics of damn fine camaros and Firebirds to sway me one way. Curious to see if i could invest that differance to make the camaro better or if the firebird is the truly the sexiest. All opinions and pics welcome!!!!!!!!!

I prefer the clean lines of the Camaro over the Firebird.






Get which ever makes you happy.

I drive a Z, but I wish I had bought a WS6.

You can't go wrong choosing between a WS6 and SS - both look mean as hell. The SS hood does a lot for Camaros, but the WS6 is the meanest looking car on the road today.

I had a Z28 and was happy to get rid of her... the Camaro looks like a fuggin' catfish - and anything less than a SS is way too plain and bland looking.

Ram Air Trans Am all the way

When people see a camaro in the rear view, it makes them want to look as it blazes by. When people see a black T/A in the rear view it makes them wet their pants.

LoL on the quotes. I like it though, people will get out of my way on the interstate when they see me in the rearview. Heck, I even had an old guy in a minivan pull over on the shoulder to let me by.

I have a T/A with a ram air hood (Raptor) and I really like the lines of the car (as well as WS6s). I think either way you go, you have to get either an SS hood, WS6 hood, or some other form of a ram air look. Camaros also need an SS spoiler to really set them off IMO. I'm a T/A owner, but I often wish I had a Camaro. If I had to choose though, well, my choice is obvious...

Actually, I like both alot, but I got a good deal on my Z28.


I think this looks pretty mean.
Sure, the T/A will come over and kick your ***. A Camaro just says "don't even think about it". Like Shrek says "this is the part where you run away"

I went to the dealership to look at a Camaro, and ended up driving the Trans Am home instead. I'm a Chevy guy, but preferred the styling of the 'bird over the Camaro. Both are very nice cars though, so you really can't go wrong with either one.
