Oh and as an past owner of a 93 formula I have to say I always HATED the pointy beak of LT1 pontiacs. I'm glad they flattened both cars beaks up.

The LT1 birds look extremely dated. LT1 Camaros look mean but very old. Especially from the front side.

LS1 cars are one of if not the best looking sports cars on the street.

As for the TAs....yea the LT1s are pretty cool lookin, but the LS1 TAs are SEXY.
I agree 100%. I was only talking about camaro's. The ls1 Ta's are the absolute sex on wheels if you ask me.

IMHO, the LT1 T/A is the ugliest 4th gen, but its what I have, and shes mah baby

HEHE, with my budget? LOL. I have tossed around the thought of doing the front end conversion on my car, but for the money, I'd rather make it faster than a ls1, than look like one

No harm meant by my comments btw, but the 98+ camaro's look like Chrysler Sebrings in the front * head lights anyways * but you bet your *** I'd take one over my car

I really do not know how to reconcile the fact that I cannot stand the look of the lt1 camaros and own a 99'??

The cars are so similar and yet so different.

There is something about the sunken headlights that is just plain ugly!!
