Yeah, I've always been a Pontiac guy but I got such a deal on the Z I just couldn't pass it up.

I'll end up getting a WS6 after the Z is paid off.

ChocoTaco had a good point, the TA does look like it would win in a fight, but it seems most of the faster more modded LS1's are Camaro's (IM NOT SAYING THERE ARENT ANY FAST TA's, it just seems like there are more Camaro's in the lower digits) I'm leaning more and more to a WS6 Formula over the TA though, those things are awesome.

it's....

"A camaro looks like it could kick your *** but a WS6 looks like it's coming over to do it."

and I HATE hearing that goddamn quote. It's annoying.

A big difference was price.

In my area Z28's go for $3000-$5000 less for a comparable SS, or any Trans Am. Some of the nice WS6's are priced out the *** where I live.

Firehawk - Limited numbers, beautiful lines (the firehawk hood), best factory 4th gen. F-body...

Trans Am WS6 - Gorgeous car that commands attention. Aggressive, but beautiful lines.

Trans Am - Less agressive than the WS6, but still retains much of it's beauty. Also it's clear that the Trans Am got better seats. Unique orange/red gauges are cool. I also like the layout of the traction control switch on the TA's better than the Camaro's.

Camaro SS - Beautiful car. The SS is the most aggressive Camaro, but doesn't command the amount of attention that the Trans Am's do. If I were to buy a Camaro, it would absolutely have to be an SS.

Camaro Z28 - All the joy of an LS1, yet the looks of a V6 Camaro. The Camaro is also less optioned than the TA. You could not get a TA hard-top, and to my knowledge all TA's had leather.

Formula - This is at the bottom of my list. I'm not very fond of the V6 looks, especially the deformed spoiler on the back. This is the hardest LS1 to identify. Atleast with a Z28 you can see the badging on the sides from a long ways away. I guess this would be the car to get if you are going for the "sleeper" look.

the z28 debadge it and you have a v6
the ss.....wow you can take a turn with out having to boil the power steering fluid
the trans am, nice clean looks that wont look outdated in a few years...cough ws6
ws6, ugliest thing next to a gorrilla....which it looks like....

Street-racing in Texas will get you arrested, your car impounded, and a mandatory 6 month suspension of your license. Not really worth the risk for a few hundred bucks.

But if you don't get caught, that is a few hundred bucks extra in your pocket...just don't be dumbass.

"An SS looks like it could kick your *** if it wanted to, a WS6 looks like it is coming over to do it."-

As an SS owner, I like the quote. The SS is more refined, not so cocky, and just looks classier to me.

The SS demands respect just by looking at it; it has no reason to come over and kick your *** because it knows it can and so do you, while the WS6 looks like it has something to prove, or maybe it has a chip on its shoulder.

I think a t/a is just a camaro with a ricey body kit.

All that being said, I still love all Fbodies.

Its damn hard to see the Z28 badges on a Navy Blue car, much less a black one. I always look for the red bowtie on the back if its a dark color.

Lol, not exactly accurate, but thats your opinion. People just move out of the way of a WS6 while the SS is caught in traffic.

I've always thought (as someone else said) the SS is SO classy. I think it's a matter of whether you prefer classy or mean. Nothing looks meaner than a WS6. I prefer the SS look personally, it's all smooth flowing lines. I hate the T/A interior, airplane-esque a/c vents and red lights, what's that all about?
Want me to **** you off? Here's my list:

Camaro, preferably SS
06 Mustang GT
T/A
