Whoa...easy buddy. Be careful with that one.

TA's look much more badass than Cameros IMO...and that's coming
from a former '00 Z28 owner.

Coming from a TA owner, camaros are hotter.

Id trade my TA for a Camaro anyday ( as long as it was = or better shape )

I have always thought that TA's were more girly and Camaros were all the car of the TA, without the 'cute' body stuff. The white lt1 ta and the Som ls1 ws6 are the only TA's Id even think about owning.

I'd have to say that to me it all comes down to color. there are certain colors the camaro was offered in that i would never pick a pontiac over, but it goes both ways because there are other colors where i'd much rather have a pontiac.

You can see this thread will be as divided as "less filling" vs. "tastes great", "Cowboys" vs. "Redskins", "****" vs. "***"...

I didn't buy a Camaro because I didn't like the flying V look. All a matter of personal preference.

z06vette037, mega props for driving a LS1 in Anchorage..

But I gotta say this isn't a LS1Tech caliber thread, and is such a dumb, pointless topic.

If the firebird is more girly, then why did you buy a camaro?
Around here more girls drive camaro's then firebird's.

Camaros look mean and intimidating, Firebirds have that "cute" thing going for them. . .
At least the firebird dont look like one of the chrysler cars.

the firebirds are just so much more expensive for no good reason

i got my car for under 7k, and its a 2000, no firebird is going to touch that, not even a V6.

both cars have their high and low points. non WS6 T/As get my vote along with white SSs for being the best looking. oh also the firehawks

Look everyone I love Camaros and The Birds.. besides never give a V6 ****! Porsche cars proved that a "6" can be very fast! My SS/RS was orginally a V6 but now an LS6.
And Sgt. Spuds thanks, those are mine and wifes cars I didnt just pick out two cars to make my point like the other guy said. I just want people to know I like Camaros and just cuz they dont have a Specail hood or spoiler doesnt mean it still can't be a beautiful car or Fast!!!

Default Birds vs Camaros

I know three guys that own 02 Z28s and all of them wish they had a TA. Of course I'm a bird man, but I also like the Camaro SS then Z28.

Wow, I got two votes.....thanks guys.

As far as my opinion....I love both of them. While each one is different I think they both look awesome. Only difference that I see is that a stock WS6 looks way more wicked than a stock SS. But add some wheels, do something about the god aweful flat black grille and the Camaro can be just as badass as the TA. While it may take less for the TA to shine once a Camaro is given the right touches it can look just as good if not outshine some TA's.

And I picked the Camaro for two reasons. First was cost and second was name brand. I just couldn't justify spending the money it would take to get a fully loaded WS6 when I could have exactly the same performance from an SS (ironically it took me the amount of money that I saved to get the Camaro to look up to par with the TA). And I have always been a chevy fan. I know that we are all GM I have just always liked chevy's and always leaned towards them more than any of the other GM names.
