What an SS looks more muscular than a WS6???? Are you serious or just smoking crack????Yes, the SS looks better than a TA but not even close to WS6 car.... Either way, you can't go wrong...If the mileage is close, go with WS6 or if you find a low mileage SS, that would be a good choice..
I would agree with other comments about buying a stock car before a modded
car... If you have 25k, there is guy near Atlanta with a 1900 miles WS6, black on black M6 car... Go ahead, it is only money

Oh come on, driving around with the headlights poped up on a Bird or T/A is about as sexy as gettin a boner in a strip club.

Both cars are great but thinking in terms of FI, a FMIC looks much better on a Camaro. In terms of staying N/A, I like the WS6 appearance wise (since both cars perfom identical to each other).

i think you should get a Trans Am dude, not only does it give you that ricer look (4 ft long whale tail), but when your headlight motors go out there great for waking up your neighbors!!

Camaro SS is sexy ALL the time. T/A's are sexy, but only in daylight. Ugly as a dog's *** at night (with lights up).

I was looking at getting an z or ss when I was looking. I couldn't find one with what I was looking for.

Default 2001 ws6 m6

I might be willing to let go of the above. It's currently in Kansas City and planning on driving it to Jax. Florida.

Has a 402 ( that might have 5K miles on it?) that popped 482 rwhp on the dyno. Trans has been rebuilt new tires

Has a lil road rash on the front for 100k but drives like a new one.

rear axle and front suspension are out of my 00 with 25K miles.

Cool

I'm gonna say SS, but maybe I'm biased lol

Not much difference between the two. My best advice would be to decide which interior fits you better, as that's the part you will ALWAYS have to look at- and the Pontiac interior is much different from the Chevy. Aside from that, they're basically the same car. The TA is a bit more outspoken, but they'll behave the same way on the track, and on the road.

The one thing the TA has going for it is rarity. Remember Pontiac is no more...

Dude, I saw your car when it was for sale. I kept kicking myself in the *** on that one.. Beautiful, clean SOM.. I think I stared at it every day until you bought it.

If anyone hasnt seen it, its attached.

Default Pinch ?

Yeah everyone is in a pinch, including me. But I don't have to drop my drawers n not enjoy the punch !

I want 12 K no badgering on price. It's well worth it cause of all the mods included.

If ya wanna know more, lemme know.

If you were to get a complete 402 with FAST 90/90 n decent heads ? 8 K ? Then upgraded trans, n clutch n new tires ........ $$$$

It was put together correctly with an enlarged oil pan for more capacity.

Yea the front of the WS6 looks a little meaner that the SS but the reason I bought my SS is for the rear. I hate the rear of the firebirds but it's just my opinion.

Yes I know I am biased but SOM is my FAVORITE color on a T/A. Wanted a M6 car but after 3 months of not finding the right car broke down and couldn't pass the deal up on my A4 car......but it's all good
