Stock for stock the Trans Am hands down.

But I decided to go with a Camaro because I knew I wasn't going to keep my car stock and there's not much you can do to the Trans Am to make it stand out from the crowd.

A quote I saw in someones sig on here " A camaro looks like it could kick your ***, BUT A Trans Am looks like its coming over to do it!"

I love the way they both look! Both look really good! BUT I have to say I think the WS6 package makes the TA look down right sinister!

I agree with ProjectCamaro. TA's look bad ***, but you can't do much customizing on them..

It's hard to find two Camaro's exactly the same.

I can't remember exactly how it went, but someone once said, "The fbodies are like guys you know can kick some ***. But the Camaro does it in a suit, while the WS6 does it in a muscle shirt."

It's a personal choice. Some people like myself like Camaro's and others like the more wild styling of the TA.

Trans Am, no contest for me. Looks like sex on 4 wheels to me, i've always been a firebird guy.


The only camaro i like is a black SS with either chrome rims or black with chrome lips. Regular camaro looks to simple.

Do you mean appearance wise? The Camaro has the hockey stick stripe, and some ricer taillights, what else?

T/A's and fireturds look too gaudy/bloated to me. Kind of reminds me of a chola w/hoop earings that's retaining water.

definatly the T/A...camaros look boring, all straight lines and hard corners like an under budget CGI movie. the T/As have curves and flow, very artisitc and masculine all at the same time.

in short...i like my fbodies like i like my women; they've gotta have curves in all the right places and know how to fight back

Lets be honest here, this is like asking which one of your kids do you love more. Both look kick ***, but in different ways. A better question is which one is better chevy or pontiac? i think i made my point.
