Biased Z28 owner right here. A clean 94-97 Z28 on some Vette wheels will catch my eye EVERY SINGLE time. Not that a T/A or a Formula with alittle rumble wont but I guess after getting a not-to-far-from-totalled Z28 and pretty much having to change out, fix, and repair everything, Im getting kind of sentimental.

93 PPM Camro Z28 . Some say its a girlish color, but, atleast its not common where I live. I'm a Z28 lover. Just a Camaro person in general. All three are nice, but, Camaro's catch my eye more.

i've been a Formula guy at heart since seeing 70-73 bird. the birds after '97 just looked "overdone" to me on the nose. i also never really liked the monster spoiler and ground effects on the LT1 T/A. when deciding on my purchase i found a '97 WS6 Formula and a '97 T/A both 6spds. the thing with the T/A was it was lowered nearly 2" and had the rear hatch, rear clip and wheels off of a '99 WS6. that made a world of difference and for $8000 i bought the 68000mile 6spd T/A. i may just have been converted.

Coming from the owner of a 99 Z28,

I voted Formula. Subtle, yet, sexy.

I miss my LT1 T/A I need another FBody, these cars are truely an addiction. But as far my vote goes; they all are awesome in there own way. LT1 SS has one of the most pissed looking front end and the T/As with the high rise spoiler look damn right sexy from the rear, just something about it I love. The Pontiacs have a better laid out dash/interior. The only real requirement for all of them is to be lowered and nice wheels.

All a matter of choice as to what you like.

I got a 95 t/a but look at this BAD *** LT1 Camaro (Enough Said)!
