Exactly what I was thinking!! Its a proven statistic that Camaro's drop the panties at a faster/more consistant rate than Trans Am's!

The SS came with all the "bad ***" potential in the world but was just 4 rims and a few lines short .. the 98-02 WS6's are the baddest looking cars to ever hit the street, right off the lot.

I can appreciate a decked out SS next to the best of WS6's though.

If keeping the stock appearance I would say T/A, but most people don't keep their cars stock which is why I bought a Camaro and voted Camaro.

The T/As are a little bit more limited to what they can do appearance wise. I will say this, a black T/A WS6 with The Raptor hood is one of the best looking cars ever built next to the GMMG DH cars

Uh, am afraid that empirical evidence shows otherwise. LOL, J/K.

Trans Am's have always looked better. Not saying the Camaro is ugly but the "Birds" are badass.

Camaro

Though the birds are nice looking cars also (98+ at least, not a fan of 93-97 as much). Little hard to decide but I tend to be more a camaro guy than firebird.

lol, all the Camaros I see with those taillights are dirty 93-97 v6's with "RODRIGUEZ" on the back in old english. I wouldn't personally classify those as an appearance mod worth mentioning.

But, the Camaro has more than the hockey stripe..

Hoods: Z28, SS, Sunoco, Cowl, Ultra Z, Harwood, Mecham
Stripes: Manta, Hockey, Berger QP, Berger hood stripe, 35th LE, or regular racing stripes never look bad. There's different ways to lay them on the hood, too.
Spoilers: Ok, not that many to choose from, but it adds more variables to customize with.
Grilles: There's so many different variations to make yours one of a kind. Where's the TA's grille?
Rims: A lot of rims can look good, but most look good on TA's too, so I guess disregard this section..
Misc.: Berger panel, VHT, Halos, CME, Some body kits (or just the rear valence of one), Splitter (someday?), Whistler mod, "CAMARO" fill ins, !exhaust tips..

That's all I can think of at the moment..

BTW, I love the look of TA's, and I'm not ******* their style or customizability. Just attempting to justify my statement.

Really, all modded fbodies are one of a kind, but imo, Camaros are easier to make yours stand out from the other Camaros. You can tell at first glance exactly who's Camaro you saw parked at the Home Depot while you were driving by.

I think both look great, the T/A looks more bad *** but I prefer the cleaner look of the Camaro. For some reason the T/A doesn't look so great with the headlights up. Then again what can I say, I chose a Camaro and not a T/A.... but the T/A was definitely in my sights though.

Looks are all subjective though. You can't convince someone that something looks good or bad. I did have some people comment on how ugly the 93-98 Camaro steering wheels were, and a friend pointed out that the Firebird honeycomb tails were ugly (I like 'em though)

I like T/A's a little bit better. The Camaro's still look pretty sweet though.

I think I would like T/A's more if they had headlights like the new 'Vettes. The flip up headlights look fine when they're down but look like garbage when they're up.
