I took my camaro, and put a trans am ram airish hood on the front and a body kit and now I think it looks kinda like a TA but with a camaro twist.

Factory looks though I'd definitley say a TA would be my choice. There are those rare ss's that have that just right look to them though.

I would say, if I were to buy another ls1, I think I would get a camaro, I already have the ws6, but damn the driveway would look sweet with those 2 beasts sitting next to eachother

If your talking 2nd gen then the TA is my all time fav. Poncho Power!!!!!

My first car was a 1977 Trans Am, but it was a rust bucket.


Back to the subject:

BOTH CARS!!!! I like them both the same, thats why I have one of each.


Peace,
Craig.

I voted for LS1. When I bought my Camaro I was just looking for an LS1 powered FBody. I checked out Camaro's and Trans Am's but I found the best deal on my Camaro so I with with it.

Talking

Trans-ams All The Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [I have also heard that T/A's are always MUCH faster and handle MUCH better and are MUCH more scary to women and little children]

its the other way around where im at, every one has T/A's n Z28's, few SS's not many WS6's at all, i love both cars but i like the WS6 looks better than SS , only thing i dont like about the SS is the stock grill, looks too cheep n shitty, other than that they look pretty mean too.

People have different tastes. It's funny how some people don't understand why others don't see the world the same way they do.

I bought my Camaro new but I did consider a Pontiac. I love the rear end of a WS6 but the front end is a little too aggresive for my taste. However, I do prefer the looks of an SS over a plain Z28- but nothing a hood and spoiler won't cure.

I was just looking for the best deal on anything with a LS1 with an M6 and ended up with my 01 formula and I am very happy with it

I have to go with the TA. In the past I didn't care much for either. Since last November I have been racing with someone who drives an '00 Trans Am. Now that I need a new car (thanks Katrina), it's the only thing I want.

I have owned both a 94 Z28 and now a 99 T/A....My vote goes for the 1998 +T/A

Before 1998 For the LT1 cars I liked the look of the camaro better..I especially loved the Lt1 SS's those looked badass. After the restyling in 98 for both cars I didnt care for the front end of the camaro anymore, But I love the back (***) of the Trans Am and I love the Ram Air Hood and lines of the front bumper/fascia (****). I owned a camaro once so I thought I would try pontiac, and I like my trans am much better, definately get more looks, and I'm not like everyone else that says they drive a camaro in my hometown.

In the End both cars are Awesome though!!!

i look at the trans am is an over priced camaro, both are beautiful cars. i like the trans am over the z28 but i prefer the look of the SS over all of the f bods just something about that hood and spoiler that gets me all hot in my loins but thats me. if the trans looks is worth a few extra bucks, go for it. if not get a z cause its the same car as the rest of them.
