I know I've got a camaro but I like the looks of the trans am better. I got my camaro because they are cheaper and easier to find when looking to by at least where I live. when you are on a budget a couple grand make a difference.

Do a search to find 00silver6 signature pic and you'll see why they look like a catfish.

At least the gorilla can kill a catfish, just like how a Trans Am will kill a Camaro in a race.

You know your right, when I was 7 I wanted to be like batman and drive a batmobile, but I've matured since then.

For anyone that knows fbods and can actually use their eyes, would know that the style of the 98-02 Camaro was influenced by the Great White Shark and fighter jets (not j/k ). So, Great White shark/fighter jet vs gorilla (Remember how King Kong ended ) = Trans Am getting by Camaro.

You're an idiot. You come on here and ask stupid questions. Then put out dumbass info with nothing backing it up. Why even ask if you like Z28's more? Are you trying to stir stuff up or just prove your an

The difference is ONLY cosmetic. Some prefer the smooth lines of the camaro, some prefer the in your face look of the Birds.

Its like asking whats better, Ketchup or Mustard.
I like ketchup.

The interiors on both rattle apart. Center consoles especially.

it's essentially the same damn car. i like them both, i just prefer the eye-catching lines on the firebird. again, still, it's the same car and if you like a camaro, i don't think you can dislike a firebird and vice versa. you can like one better than another but if you like one, you can't hate the other.

I like the Trans Ams better myself. I have owned both so I can say for sure that the Pontiac suits me better for three reasons:

1). Red dash lights look BAD ***!

2). WS6/Raptor hoods look better then the SS hood IMO.

3). Putting a firebird decal on a TA looks cooler then hockey sticks on a Camaro IMO.







And the anniversary TA's looked bad *** as well:

Trans Am definately looks more aggressive. camaro does indeed look like a catfish. either way they both are nice cars but remember, why buy a camaro with more "potential" to look good when you can buy a Trans Am and already be teh hott sexxx

It's a win-win with either. They are both the same cars (under the hood), and if I had the funds, I would own one of each.

Sig line tells you I like them both - especially the LT1's

Bought the Camaro in 93' on a pre-order. I've always liked the Z28 but have own both in the past as well. No perfomance difference just personal preference. Shop around and read some of the forums here, it will eliminate those 'friend of a friend told me ............."
