This is just my opinion and what Ive seen in the last 15 years of Fbodys and I have owned 2 LT1 cars and 2 LS1 cars so here goes. I would lean more toward a 6 speed manual shift, ALOT FUNNER to drive and pulls hard up on top end and Ive never been much on auto cars but the auto cars come out of the hole faster (hole shot) but 3rd and 4th gear gets them in the stick cars 9/10 LOL with really close to equall mods. The only way I would want a auto car is if I was TURBO CHARGE IT and was going to make massive amounts of power 600++, it would be real hard to shift a standard shift car fast enough but the gear would have to be 3.42 or higher. I went with 12 bolt but like someone said 9 inch are great rear ends, super strong, and alot easier to change gears but I just wanted to stay GM. And as far as Camaro or Trans Am I like the Camaro's there a little lighter and the interier are laid out better and the seats set more comfortable and alot of people (most) have problem with the pop up head lights. Good Luck on the decision and HAVE A NICE DAY.

Pop up head lights = PITMFA. I hate them. I unplug mine and just screw them up and down when I need them. I had a few that stripped the gear completely and I had to tape a piece of plastic to bumper just to keep the headlight up.
Not to mention the conversion kit is a grand to have the non pop up style. They look sick but a grand.
If weights an issue find a formula. I don't think they look as good except for the front fascia.

when you are proven wrong, act like a 19 yo or a 92 yo, grow some ***** and stop posting like a moron. you really MUST be 92, because no matter what someone has or does, you have been there, done it better, ran it harder, swapped it cleaner than anyone else in the land.
im guessing the next few posts will be about how you got where you are because you know things and blah blah. tell us your real name so we can search this elusive engineering school that you are PAID to attend at the tender age of 19 as a senior and then maybe you will get a 1/3 of a point of cred.
ive said it before and ill say it again. I put more thought into pushing turds into the toilet than you put into all of your entire post count.
Mr engineer can you tell me why turds are tapered at the end?

hehe.
i say go with whichever vehicle makes you happy. drive a few before you choose and give it some thought.
myself, i've always liked the looks of the camaro better, but that's personal preference.
i had an 97 z28, running an LT1, loved the sound of that one better still than the LS1 but now that i have an LS1.. i wish i had gotten one in the first place..

my god... i only read maybe 1-2 replies... lost count because 1 reply was as long as 20 normal replies.. 
not to mention all the GARBAGE that was posted in them.. he got OWNED!
i wouldnt have even started with him if i would have known all his posts were that outlandish.. i thought for a second he had a slight bit of knowledge... that came to an abrupt halt..
damn jon, maybe you arent so bad.. this could be fun!
SO, Redcannon...... tell us what your thoughts are on manifolds/headers and gears on a stock block bolt on (intake, lid, internally stock) ls1s..
