I just like the styling of the camaro better that the T/A. I like the lines of my SS better than any t/a.

I dont like pop up lights, the rearend is pretty ugly and i dont like the side vents of the ws6

I like the look of the WS6, but they are harder to find. I didn't care for the look of the regular TA.

On the other hand, I've always loved the look of the Camaro, great lines, wide, sits low, sexy from the front, back and sides.

I chose my WS6 because it has that Corvette engine in it unlike the other trans ams and CamEros.

Lol, just kidding. I wanted a TA WS6 trim, found a few, but turned a bunch down until I found my red with low miles on it. I really do want this guys 02 Camaro SS that he might be selling, I love the Catfish as much as I love my Fire Chicken Mullet.

"Never had that problem" is all I replied

Here they are side by side


I've never had a problem getting looks in my Camaro and it's not an SS it's just a Z28. Just two nights ago I took a cousin for a ride and he was telling me how everywhere we went people were looking at the car, like I hadn't already noticed, but anyway I get thumbs up from guys and girls in all types of cars.

I don't mean to offend any TA owners but the styling is a bit too boy racer for me.

well, to be honest, I originally wanted the TA when i was in college. However, once the 98 model year came out, I really liked the look of the Camaro, especially the SS with the curvier hood scoop. In '98, i bought a '96 Z-28 to hold me over for a bit until I was able to order my 2002 SS. Also, the $1000 Camaro Legends Tour rebate didn't hurt getting the Camaro either.
