I don't like my spoiler and I don't even care for the SSs but that spoiler that Berger Chevrolet used like the #6 Sunoco Camaro Race Car. That bitch rules too! To me that would be the ultimate setup!!!

The z28's are a little plain for me for i dont dislike them. I think the SS has the best styling. Its perfect to me

I like the Z28. I'm not too into flashy cars with cladding and such on them. just simple basic all business. keep it on the low you know kind of a sleeper style.

That hood/spoiler set-up is on my list of desires for the Z28 down the road The cam swap comes first though

"Sometimes" I like the look of a Z28 best. Doesn't really matter to me much, as long as the car is clean and not too flashy.

Default Don't settle!!

The old saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" applies. That's why so many aftermarket suppliers are in business. Every time I settle for something that's not quite what I want I still keep looking til I find what I wanted in the first place. I personally don't like the Z28 nose and I'm not a big fan of lots of cladding. I think the WS6 "nostrils" are too much. I have a Black 98 Formula with factory Chrome 5 spokes and the look is what I was after, clean but looks like it means business.

Z's look too much like the V6 versions, so I find them boring.

Same goes for the non-WS6 Firebirds. They just remind me too much of the slow f-bodies from the 80's and 90's.

If it were not for the WS6 T/A, I would probably not own an LS1 F-Body.

I think the z28's are ugly unless there is extensive aftermarket mods done. My buddy has a 98 z with a suncoast hood, spoiler, and west wings kit and it looks good. I wouldn't be cought in a stock looking Z, just my opinion!

+1 I'll be in the market for an LS1 F-body come spring (settled for a Grand Prix recently for a DD for the upcoming winter months). While I prefer to get a TA, I'll gladly take a Camaro. As long as it has T-tops, a decent price, and a LS1 V8, I'll take it

If I had a Z28 I would order a Sunoco hood before the car was even in the garage.

Personally, I like em all. WS6/SS tops the charts Super damn sexy White/Black/SOM..Dayumn..
I do envy the heritage of the Z28's. Fekk GM stuck SS badges on every turd they could.. Asses.
Z28 would have to be pewter... or SOM. Those cars look killer.
Just my opinion

This has been said several times before; every Camaro SS is already a Z28, so don't worry about not having the heritage or anything like that.

Well let's see...both me and my buddy were going a few MPH over the speed limit on the way home from the track a few weeks ago.

I have a Black 1999 Camaro Z28 (stock appearance). He has a Black 1998 Trans Am (aftermarket WS6 hood, chrome wheels, etc.).

Guess who got pulled over for 73 in a 55? NOT ME.

Oh yeah and by the way I have dumped duals and he has a catback so his car was definitely quieter than mine
