Talking 2001 Trans Am WS6

If it was a choice based on 'bang for buck' I would choose the Camaro with LS1. But, I have always like the style of the Firebird and when I saw the WS6 Trans Am there was no other choice for me.

Did it cost more? You bet.

But, I wouldn't have it any other way.



Both are great cars and that IMO is undisputed. But as an individual thing...

Trans Am WS6

You mean there is more convolution in the nomenclature.

It comes down to looks and price and also if you want a sleeper
look. I think the SS has more of a sleeper look as to a WS6. The
price of a SS is cheaper then a WS6. I would be cool with one or
the other. I think the wing is a bit much on a WS6 tho.

so I got a Z28 and made it my own, 4-port ramair hood and wing
west kit and the new c6 chromed out rims and called it a day.
the cheapest price out of the f-bodys. more money 4 mods!

Makes no difference, Z28, or SS. Both are nice, but neither are a WS6 Now I like ALL F-Bodies, the WS6 and Trans Ams are just MY favorite by FAR.

I feel obligated to say that to me, the Z28 is the Camaro. Nothing against the SS or the SS ppl. But when someone says "Z28", you know its a Camaro. The "SS" could be an impala or something. IDK, just my opinion and what the "Z28" is to me.

I'm new to this site and seeing as I'm a dumbass, I don't know what you guys mean by M6 and A4. 99' T/A just bought, so no mods or quarter mile times yet.

I like both, own a Camaro now and am looking for an SS. The WS6 looks aggressive but I like the lines (and interior) better. The front looks agressive to me on the TA's but the back and sides look 'bloated' IMO.

CAMAROZ28... cheeper and more aerodynamic! especially at night time when you have those gay flip up headlights on the t/a's. no offense guys! haha. for me the only decision to make is 6spd or stalled auto? i used to think 6spd was the only way to go, now i have a TH400. weird how things change. but not my choice for a camaro Z28.
