Default Any Camaro guys ever wish they got a Trans Am??

I have a 2001 Z28 with SS hood and spoiler, plus some nice wheels, but the look of a trans am just seems unbeatable......what you guys think?

No. I love T/A's but I'm in the minority that likes Camaro's better.

I've had several of both, but I prefer the look of Formulas the most. I like the Pontiac interiors much better, and the aggressiveness of the styling. The Camaro nose needs a lot of help to look good. Here is the order I prefer them in:

Formula
Camaro
Trans Am (not a big fan of the wing or ground effects)

Eh, I sometimes wish I would have gone with a Firehawk, but I'm happy with what I got.

I'm sure there are plenty, with all these questions of TA ground effects on a Camaro, WS6 style hoods on Camaros, TA seats in Camaros, popping up all the time. To them I say, should have just bought the Pontiac!


:flame suit on:

I do like both though, and would own both if I could.

Never. If I could go back in time I would wait till I found the perfect Formula. I think other people's TA's look good, but its just not a car for me.

I think stock for stock the Trans Am looks a lot better than the Camaro. But then again I can't keep a car stock and it's easier to make a Camaro stand out for being different than it is a Trans Am. So I like my Camaro more because of all the work I've put into it but if you're going to keep your car stock looking then the Trans Am is better.
