I would say 96 WS6 w/o a doubt for me. I remember when I was shopping for my WS6 back in 2001(maybe it was 2002) I knew I wanted a 99+ WS6. I came across a 96 WS6 with only 12K miles on it for only $14K. It was close to me and I couldn't believe the price. It took me a good week of dwelling to pass on it. The only reason I did was b/c I didn't want to "compromise" at all. I still wish I would have got that beast...maybe converted it to a lT4 with full bolt ons and still save for what I got my 99. Oh well 96 WS6 gets my vote...one of the most badass cars in my eyes.

Since I'm a Camaro person(owned 15+ so far) I could never go with a Firebird. But if I had to, I would take the Formula over the TA any day. All the extra cladding and ground effects on the TA is too much for me. I'm sure it adds weight too.

Trans Am. Especially the 1996 and 1997 WS6. Since Formula keeps the basic Firebird nose, and for the on that body style Firebird thats a no go for me. I love the Z28s too but nothing comes close to looking as good as the Trans Ams in my eyes.

Wish the camaro didn't have the side mirror/fender style, personally I think it looks stupid.Guess it's a love or hate thing just like f bodies themselves.All nice though but the pop up headlights when you are in a bird are fat.

in the newer LS style yes they look good, LT1 style T/A & Formy headlights look like Fiero's

I prefer the interior of the Pontiac over the Chevy, and the cleaner exterior lines of the Formula over the T/A.

WOW, I'm surprised how many people like the Formula best. I own a Formula and a Camaro. But I would have to say I'd go with the T/A. But as others have mentioned, the Pontiac Interior is much better than the Camaro's.
