I personally LOVE the looks of my Formy. Not many around here and I love it when the ricers talk smack about my V-6 then I Fire it up and they run. I guess this is why I also owned 3 mustang LX's and a 87 f-bird Formula. If I had to choose though it would have to be the Trasns-Am though.

The TransAm looks more like an American muscle car

I voted Trans Am ironically... lol I drove 2 ws6's a year before I bought
my ls1. I actually didn't like the camaro's styling at all until I saw one with the
factory ground effects kit (the one I bought)

I prefer the trans am's interior, and its menacing style. Unfortunately I had to
compromise between price and performance. The ws6's were going for about 4k
more than camaros and I got a sweet deal that I couldn't pass so I settled for
the Z28. I love my Z but I've thought several times that I might trade it in for
a ws6, however the mod's are getting a tad too steep for that lol

Nothing like the look of the front end of a TA!

There are some great looking Camaros lurking about - but I fell in love with the TA as soon as I realized what one was in 'Smokey and the Bandit' and still prefer them hands down.

For me the Ram Air Hood on a Trans Am with WS6 rims gives it the win.
Even the back end is a bit more aggressive looking than the Camaro.

However, the Camaro with the SS hood is pretty nice, especially when coupled with the Chrome thick 5 spoked rims. I was tempted by many of them before I bought the TA.

Overall, even though I am not big on appearance mods, the Ram Air hood and SS hood are MUST HAVES on these cars.

I do think the styling of the WS6 Package (Hood and Wheels) is TIMELESS and will always be up there in discussions of the BEST LOOKING cars of all time. Especially in PONTIAC RED

JMHO

i voted Camaro just because thats what i have, both are nice cars, in fact, they are the same
and this thread isnt about which car looks better, its about which one you think is better

TA, but not by much, when I was shopping for my car a year ago I was going to go with the first stock, clean low mileage LS1 I could find. Both are bad to the bone IMO.

The Trans Am is better built and has better seats. But I still like the Camaro look. Their both great looking cars!

I prefer the Trans Am and I'm actually growing to like the cleanliness of the stocker or the Firehawk.



Granted, I've seen a couple of really sweet Camaros, especially a silver one with clear side markers.

Thats one of the toughest questions ever...I have had two LS1 TAs one base TA and one WS6.....Now I have my 1st SS...maybe its just that I'm still riding the ruh of having my SS but...I will just barely side with the SS...While the TAs look like a 1st class fighter plane...The SS just captures more of a "Bruiser" muscle car look to me...

SS!

The WS6 is bad ***. Of course so is the SS. The people who designed these cars need to be the first people in to the car builders hall of fame(as soon as it gets built.)

Personally I love my SS but if I want to get a WS6 fix....I can go over to the in-laws and drive their WS6 convertable.
