Never had someone tell me mine is ugly and if they do I don't give a ****. I bought it for me not for someone else to like.

Well, at least one person got it right. Camaros and Firebirds. FIREBIRDS.

I know the O.P stated his friend didn't like the looks of his Trans Am. Thats fine, but then his buddy say's he prefers the Camaro's. I guess being the "egotistical" Firebird owner that I am (LOL) makes me read into that statement and see the ignorance in it.

The Pontiac version of the F-body is a Firebird. And not every Firebird is a ******' Trans Am.

I like the T/A model of the Firebird as much as I like all the F-bodys GM produced. And I know, when it comes down to it, they're all just different version's of the same car. I guess it just aggrevates the Hell outta me when someone calls my Firebird a Trans Am, when it is not.

Maybe this thread was intended to specifically compare the Firebird Trans Am to the entire Camaro lineup and, if so, I apologize for my rant. And I'm also sorry for throwing the conversation off topic.

Okay, I feel better. And with that outta the way...

Firechicken wins over Catfish, anyday. LOL

the ls1 t/a is one of the best looking cars ever made ( I say t/a because I think firebirds are ugly...too much like a bloated sunfire without the t/a body panels)

the ls1 camaro can look good, but it takes the SS wing, nice wheels (z06 and zr1 are not nice in the least bit...ugly as ****), SS or Sunoco hood

I hate the look of the lt1 cars period, especially the camaros...the pointed front end reminds me of how a 1st grader would draw a car

wrong answer...everyone knows the WS6 is for people who are compensating for something else

the only thing they're compensating for is the bland stlying of the flat hood

I got mine because:

a. It was a stupid good deal (especially for my area)

b. I was tired of the headlights on the firebirds (my old ones kept crapping out)

c. Most importantly, LS1. And the 02 LS1 at that (free ls6 intake manifold).

If someone thinks a blacked out WS6 is ugly. They are gay. Simple.

Trans Am are not for everybody. Camaros have the name. T/A are the red headed step brother. I have learned to live with this.

There's your first hint he doesn't know what he's talking about. I've never had anyone say Trans Am's are ugly. I've had nothing but compliments on my car.

I think the best looking Firebird is the least common. The 98+ WS6 Formula. But I still prefer the 98+ SS Camaro's.

A camaro looks like it could kick your *** if it was provoked, and a ram air t/a looks like it's coming over to do it.

Sorry, but a LOT of people think they're ugly. And a lot of people won't say it to your face, anyway. Also, imports can be good, too. The real people who don't know what they're talking about are those that discriminate as such... like you.
