I put the Camaro just SLIGHTLY ahead of the Trans Am, also I am a little biased, but, I so Love them Both. The Wife on the other hand does not like the TA at all. She has put in just as much wrench time on the camaro as I have so her opinion does matter. She always said that its the rear end of the TA that she doesnt like. But she respects both for what they are.

LT1 style Camaro FTW. Ls1 WS6 in a close 2nd place.
Never been a big fan of LS1 "sebring" style front end on the Camaros.

^What he said, and to add on, I am pleased that since the 2009 F-Body takes it queues from the '67-'69, I am glad it is a Camaro. That said, GM should really have used the 1st gen logo for 5th gen.

+1 for the Firebirds, and another pic of a mean looking second gen bird. i agree with some of the camaro guys about the LS1 bird being a little much. Thats why i've got an LT1 T/A with the best parts of an LS1 T/A's body.

camaro looks too much like the chrysler concorde, its too plain. the trans am has the looks that makes people look twice to see what kind of car that is, it stands out and has a nice spoiler and hood that screams for attention. if u want a car for performance buy a camaro if u want show And go buy the king of the road, trans am

The truth is if you listen really closely the Trans Am actually screams "BOOBIES!" as it drives past you.

to be honest, the only things i like more on a t/a is the ram air hood and the rear spoiler (the good spoiler like the SS camaro, not the one piece hatch)

"A tasteful stand-out-in-the crowd true American muscle car, for those who find Fords distasteful and Chevy's too conservative. The Pontiac Trans Am is often depicted as the ultimate badass mobile." - urbandictionary.com
