Default got a camaro love bug for a ta

Ok I have a 99ss m6 love my car ,but I have been really wanting a ws6 lately,there is a really nice ws6 roller for sale by a member for 5gs, I swear I'm tempted to buy it and sell my car.I don't see myself selling my car, its pretty much done,but the tas look so bad ***.just wondering if anyone bought a camaro then fell in love with the tas or the other way around.

I almost sold my WS6 for a white SS. I'm obviously gonna be a little biased but either way I don't really think you can go wrong. And someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't $5k for a roller (I'm guessing it's just the chassis) seem a little high?

I even went as far as to buying a 3 inch vfn ss hood, it looks meaner and helped a lil, but that only lasted a day or 2,and was thinking ws6 again.

Oh yeah 5gs is a lot for a roller but it looks near perfect in and out from the pics,I would lean more towards selling mine for one.I do like my car a lot, and I love the white n black,maybe I'm having car has been down for to long syndrome, but having it this close to beeing done if I sold it I would just lose a lot of money.I'm sure once I drive it down the highway for the first time this will end ,but even if it runs 11s ,I still see that ws6 and just drool all over myself lol

I used to own a WS6, then I began to like Camaros better.

At this point I still like both, but I prefer the Camaro.

I have always liked the ws6, but when I got my car the z28 was in my budget (ws6's are always a couple grand more here). I still love the look of the ws6, but my camaro has grown on me.

There a lil more here to,that front end is so damn mean looking,when I race stock ones I think I'm gonna lose just because they look like there gonna rip the pavement lol.my ss is pretty sweet, have not done to many apperance mods, besides the vfn ss hood,pro stars ,and lowered it, it looks bad ***, but when I compare it to the ws6 I just like the style better, I'm still a camaro lover,not all that crazy about about the 2010 ss,its just crazy that f bodys as old as they are still are one of the best looking and performing cars on the road.

As I've grown older, I've come to like the clean look of no ground effects/no big spoiler. I think that's why I moved away from the Trans Am.

IMO, the best looking of the Pontiac F-bodies are the Formula and Formula WS6. I made a huge mistake in 2000 when I bought a Trans Am. I should have bought a final year Formula WS6 - I probably never would have sold it.

I think if I did get one it would be a ws6 formula there was a really nice one on here. A lil while ago it was a black 6 speed 43k for 15 obo,my friend bought a 2001 I think but a ws6 white formula he paid 3750 at some auction in chicago 2 weeks later he sold it for a bit under 9gs.

FYI. There was no 2001 Formula WS6. 2000 was the last year. Obviously, someone could have just added the hood, or the car was older than '01.

I would say go with the T/A if you know it's going to be bugging you for as long as you don't have one. I wanted an LS1 T/A, but couldn't find any and ended up finding a great deal for my Camaro. In the end it's just looks, and both cars are great, I just mainly wanted the engine and transmission. With that said, only way the Camaro will ever be leaving my ownership is only if it's part of a deal that will end with my getting a T/A.

T/A's look like a car that is completely done already, it's almost as good as it can look from the factory. Camaros don't really have much you can do to them visually other than a hood and spoiler. Throw some BBS wheels on a stock T/A and it looks amazing.

Five Gs for a roller sounds about as high as a giraffe's *** unless it has tubular suspension and a 9" or something expensive thrown in. I paid $1,200 more for my running, 70k Z28 three years ago.

Was full leather int,black ws6,suspension,and rear. Car looked in flawless shape,yeah I'm gonna get mine finished and put it up for sale or partial trade and some cashor something. I might change my mind when I get my car up and running got a lot , a lot of new parts going on so it should be a diffrent car, my buddy did a check on it and it was 1 of 3 artic white ss with my options and my int.that's what he told me he is getting me the info on it,if that's correct that's cool not as cool as a ws6 though

i loved the look of the WS6 and the camaro. If i could do it all over again i would go with white with either color. But between the 2 i like the look of the camaro. The T/A are alot meaner looking, but im not a fan of the flip up headlights.
