I love F-bodies so much that I'm on my 4th one now. 1 Formula, 1 Trans Am (WS6), and 2 Z28s. I'm addicted.

In the end I'd have to say that I like the Pontiacs and Chevys equally, but for different reasons.
Camaro = sleek, clean, all-business muscle type look.
Firebird/Trans Am = bold, flashy muscle type look.
They are both very aggressive in their own way.

if you want something that you dont see everyday in the spring summer, or at least by me anyways, get a 98+ WS6. i see z28 and ss all the time but dont see any ws6 except for mine. many more looks in one of these then any other f-body.
just my opinion
steve
check out my website and look at how awesome they look.............

WS6s are actually more common than a regular Trans Am in the last couple years of production. In the Chicagoland area, I see about an equal amount of all the different F-bodies.

If you want a ws6, please come to my town and get one of these 2 used ws6s out of here. I live in a town of 1900 and there's a little mom and pop used car shop that I noticed has 2 of em sitting in their lot in the span of 6 days. Grrrr. I bought mine about 6 months ago cuz it's rare to see them around here. I guess there'll be 2 more on the streets by spring. It never fails. Ugh!

You don't need the electric water pump or the maf sensor. Weight reduction
that's your friend
Take out-
A/C
All insualtion under the carpet
air bags
rear seats and belts
spare tire/jack
a.i.r. system
egr
windsheild resevior
bumper supports
aftermarket hood instead of stock
15" wheel and tire set-up
How far do you want to take it?
