Camaro's lines are smoother and cleaner, the front of the WS-6 is the meanest looking out there, but the rest seems kind of chunky...both are badass though

 

The Camaro's front end looks too much like a chrysler sebring. It looks like a little sedated and it will just pass you buy. The hood scoop is one of the redeeming factors. If you look at the lines of a TA it is much more free flowing. It definitely says, "Look at me!" Go with what you can find in your area. In my part of MI, the camaros go for about blue book. The trans am are blue book and the WS6 are about 4k more. I didn't find any SS when I was looking. Definitely look into a firehawk. It has a nice smooth lines of the hood and ram air.

 

Thanks guys.

WS6 53-35

 

The BIRD looks nicer

 

Man, it's just a matter of opinion. Pick what you like.

 

i gotta say the ws6, but then again i got one...

i heard the comparison here awhile back on how the front end of the camaro looks like a catfish, and i have to agree...

BUT, if i were to do it all over again i'd get a low option ls1 z28 in a split second. you end up paying alot extra just for the hood cleavage on a ws6.

 

I, too, have heard the catfish version but I think if one were to get headlight covers and a chrome billet grille, the car would look a lot better.

 

SS

if for any reason just the interior. the Ta's interior looks just a little bit more goofy that the camaro's

 

I totally agree with peteZ, buy a Z28 (the SS only has like 15 more hp, just add exhaust to the Z28 and there you have it), and spend the extra money on mods. After that, pull up to a "Kick your A" looking WS6 and blow its doors off. Performance before looks (though looks are a close second)

 

You're right about the cleavage!!!

If you're just going for looks, then a WS6 would do that for you very well. Where I live, I see SS's EVERYWHERE! But I only see a handfull of true WS6's.

Now if all out performance is the name of the game, then just get a striped down Z28. Then use the extra money for performance parts.

Personally I wanted the busty cleavage of the Ram Air hood AND performance. But I had to spend more! Of course, I bought mine in '02 brand new, then started the performance parts.

 

I ordered my car. I picked the Camaro SS and all GM and SLP options.
Drove it off the show room floor. My first new car. All $33,000 dollars worth.
I could have bought the Firehawk or a WS6. I picked the Camaro because it has a conservitive but fast look. For me being 34 years old "when I ordered it" the thought of growing old with my car I felt the TransAm WS6 was for someone younger than me. I love the TransAm from the front but the rear end...well looks wide in the hips and I don't like the honeycomb tail lights.
I never really cared for the dash and radio buttons/switches. Wife and I used to own a Grand AM and the Pontiac buttons look out of place in a car like the WS6. However...I love the seats! The Camaro has about the cheapest seats I have ever seen in a car. Anyways, I like the sleek/kick your *** look that I can grow old with. The TransAm looks like a car for teenagers....and has a Batmobile look to them. Plus the Camaro is a Chevrolet...they make Corvettes and SSR's and Pontiac makes...the Aztec?

 

Ah, lets not forget the GTO.

WS6 61-40

 

NBM WS6 drool.................

 

I just purchased my SS, and i bought the SS for a reason, it seems to me that many a times if and when i see a WS6 it is a chick driving it(no offense to owners/or women drivers) what i mean to say is that it seems like a large group of people buy WS6s just becuase the looks of the car, which is cool it is an awesome car, however seeing an SS is rare and somehting about it just says that that person means business on the street/track.

That is how i have viewed it, always, and it is a liitle biased

 

I love the look of both the thing that sealed it for me was the T/A has pop up head lights which I am not very fond of. And the camaro is usually a little cheaper.

 

That is one gorgeous car!!! After seeing your NBM WS6 I'm kinda leaning toward the WS6. I've still got a year to decide but damn, that is nice. Plus I'm only 22 and I like things that are aggressive and "kick ***" so to speak. I'm still undecided though, just leaning more toward the WS6.

 

I bought mine for it's looks...........no, not really.

 

Well since they aren't made anymore, now going on 3 yrs.......the choices as time goes on may become limited to colors.

Sunset Orange is also very nice, as is Pewter. Black is a bitch to keep nice, trust me after 4 yrs with this NBM it's tough but clean the color takes my breath away.
And my car still looks like that to this very day. Paint/shine wise but it's now on skinnies, fats on Welds and it's on the track just about every week. I said back in Nov when my Welds went on that I'd stick my 17" stockers back on........well, I am so used to the handling now and for $40 front tires......can't beat it. I will stick my stockers back on for a long road trip but around town I am okay with my skinnies on.

 

I guess so! Both cars are sweet. Both have LS1. Get the car that you know that in 5 years you are still going to love! I find it that the WS6 is just more rare.
Before I got my car I had the same situation. When I saw an SS coming down the road it just did not grab my attention as much as the snarling nostrils and wide stance of the WS6. In terms of exterior styling the WS6 looks pretty exotic and sexy if you ask me.
All my buddys say that I made a wise choice. I love my WS6.

 

Oh yeah, sun shots make my heart pound.
