Yes, unfortunately, I do want a Trans Am, I just did not research them at all when I was looking at an f-body....

I was torn between the two...but I got a great deal on my Trans Am...plus I like the looks better and the interior.

can't go wrong with either IMO

Old thread but I might as well add my opinion too...

I've owned a few F-bodies, more Camaros than Firebirds but for me I like them all with just a slight preference over the generations.

1st gen - Firebird
2nd gen - Camaro
3rd gen - Camaro
4th gen LT1 - Camaro
4th gen LS1 - Firebird (I never really liked pop-up headlights but the LS1 'bird's kinda grew on me especially since not really any other cars w/ pop-ups anymore)

I'd own all the F-bodies if I could... someday I'll get a 12 car garage and fill it with all F-bodies after I win the lottery.

I think it's sad to see Trans Am guys hating on the Camaros, or Camaro guys hating on Trans Ams. The cars are cousins. I mean, appearance is subjective and everyong is entitled to an opinion, but there's no need to put the other car down. They aren't that different really, just the skin.

I think the guys with negative comments towards one car or the other are just insecure. You shouldn't need to bash your cousin car just to feel better about your own, IMO. There are plenty of ricers out there to hate on without bashing your own family.

Nothing like the old Camaro vs. Mustang stories. Both the Z and the Bird look good.

What sold me on the camaro was how SOM looks on it. I think its looks better on the camaro. But if I wanted a black car I probably would have got a WS6.

I like camaros but it i had to get a pontiac it would be the firehawk. I think a firehawk with a transam wing sitting like car below would look nasty.\/
