ilove both but i imported a WS6 cus i like the looks better. i culd wery well have lived with a camaro but when importing you just have to have the car just like you want it!
and about personalizing the cars i do agree the camaro has loads more of things to mod and change than the TA but it the differance beetween buying a great looking car or buying a car and invest 100's or even 1000's of dollars to get them to look as nice, and ohh lordi how modded maros can looks awsome!

Camaro all the way. I have owned three 3rd gens, and now this LS1 and the only thing I would trade it for would be an'01-'02 black SS. I have the privilage of a HUGE window store-front were I work (I know this will make me sound like an ***) but all day I just look at my car and enjoy. A 4th gen camaro was my dream since Highschool when a buddy of mine had a red LT1, and now I have gotten to the point in life were I can finally afford one. No way would I trade it. I think the Camaro has just looked so much nicer since the start. The T/A's couldn't touch them in the '60s. Maybe in the late '70s they could compete, but I think the LT1 just had a horrible front end, and the LS1 T/As...they just don't do it for me. And (sorry T/A guys) but I see a lot more ladies behind the wheel of a T/A and they are everywhere. (But nothing will top the Mustang as the ultimate girl car...oops 
)

First car I test drove was an 01 black WS-6, fully loaded. Loved it, but payments would have been over $900 a month so, buh bye.
Always liked the smoothness of the camaros over the firebirds though, it's like the T/As are trying too hard. That said though, I'd take any firebird model over a regualr z28, stock for stock. It would have to be an SS.
The whole personalize thing is correct too, I've never seen a car with my type of set-up looks wise. All teh little touches makes it stand out, whereas a WS-6 or Firehawk just blend in to the other T/As on the road.

Z28 I think its a general preference thing, its not that I dont like the looks of the TA but I also am not a fan for huge scooped hoods and whale tail spoilers.
I'd choose the simplistic look of the Z anytime.

Dear Camaro Guys,
I like the font of your gauges and the not $300 you have to pay to get your headlight actuator fixed in the middle of nevada b/c it got stuck while you were driving cross country with your gf and had no tools .....
... other than that ... see sig

I love my hardtop SS. The lines are PERFECT. I think there's too much going on with a WS6. Plus, I see the damn things everywhere; I have only seen maybe 3 other SS's in my area...with me only seeing each one only once. I do like the Trans Ams though. I think the WS6 hoods are just a little too much for me. The Trans Ams just look HUGE to me for some reason...almost as if they weigh about twice as much as my SS

When I first saw the cars, I was in LOVE with the SS. Then I saw a WS6 for the first time. I bought one. Then as I got older, I sold the WS6 to someone who gave way WAY too much for it. (good for me) and found that the Z's/SS were more appealing to me. I still love them both.

Now I see 2 things when I see a stock Camaro
:
1) Catfish
2) 2-door Chrysler 300M.

Good point about the 300M look alike....didn't notice that before.
But I haven't regretted my '02 Z28!
