Stock for stock, the SS looks better/cleaner than the WS6.

Camaro

this statement may have already been made, but i seem to see way more women driving the camaro than the firebird. this is nothing against women. just a statement for the veiwers of this thread.

p.s.- i can't wait for a women who drives a camaro to see this and say women have better taste in everything.

still...T/A all the way

Wow, other way around in my area. I never see women driving V8 Camaros around my area, but I do see them driving T/As. Not sure what that means, but that's what I've seen.

I think both cars are badass, and I like them both. I've owned them all.... Formula, Trans Am, Camaro. When I was younger, I liked the T/A more because of the wild styling. As I've aged some, I now prefer the cleaner and tighter look of the Camaro. As for Z28 vs SS, I really don't care either way. I don't see the SS hood or spoiler as better or worse than a Z28; just different. The base hood/spoiler fits better with the lines of the car, but the SS stuff looks nice too. I like either the same overall. Only thing that the SS has that the Z28 really needs are the wheels. Base Camaro wheels are too small, IMO.

As for major aftermarket appearance modifications, I don't really like any of them on either car (Firebird or Camaro). IMO, stock looks best for either car, with the exception of wheels (nothing bigger than 18" though) and some little detail modifications here and there. I don't like most aftermarket hoods (other than on an actual race car), and can't stand aftermarket spoilers or ground effects pacakges. Most aftermarket stripe kits look bad too, IMO.

Mom drives a Camaro, drag races and picks on Ricers. And yes, it's a V8.

I think Camaros have always had a cleaner look than Firebirds. So I voted Camaro.
