like i said "in the eye of the beholder" its all about the astitic appeal to the individual , i prefer formulas, but i know stock , my car will run dead even with a camaro equivilant, but i like the way the 2nd gen and 4th gen firebirds look better, but whatever, it'd be a good "IMO" topic if ppl didnt try to pass opinon for fact

I think the late 90 Camaro bodies were better than the 00-02's. They look too much like a Jaguar and too round. It needed to retain the sharp corners.

Seats look better for the T/A but the Camaro's seats are more comfortable. My *** told me so.

I like the sporty look of camaro seats over the TA...I dont like the goofy headrests or the plastic "ribs" on the side of the backrests...the headrests are seperate and square,not to sporty...the camaro just has a one piece backrest.

I don't like the looks of the Trans Am. Too flashy for a musle car. That is my opinion though.

If it were between a Trans am and a Z28 i would take the transam in a second, but i just love the looks of the SS overall. Around here a SS is more rare than all... I love my decision. But IMO i think dumb people think the transams are way faster than Camaros for some reason.

Default Trans am

I have always liked both and always wanted one. I always thought the trans am looked meaner and faster. When it came down to it I bought the Trans am because I found the right car for the right price. Now that I have it and compare it to my friends Camaro I am happy that I bought the Trans am.

TA all the way! For purely aesthetic reasons. Although I do prefer 1st gen Cameros over 1st gen FBs.

Cameros? That's just a slap in the face to us Camaro fans!

It is in the eye of the beholder. I like my T/A but, I also like my buddy's Z. It's the same dang car. Just get what you like. One is not better then the other. And if you want to talk about mean. Go cruzin' with a TransAm and a Camaro. Now, that's heaven.

Sorry about that. I stand corrected--Camaro. I'm a Mopar guy when it comes to vintage iron, but I appreciate all American muscle cars.

there are alot more mustangs than anything around here!! but thats not what were talking about, there are actually more Z28's and formula's around here than WS6's and SS's but there's only 1 or 2 other Hard Top SS's in the modesto area so i had to get the rare car and they barelly made over 1000 of them in 2000. so my vote is obvious!!!!
history of the cars i've owned: i've owned 5 camaros!!!! first car 1986 IROC with a 383 stroker T-Tops bright rally red, second car 1988 IROC T-Tops black, third car 1997 RS black T-Tops, fourth car 2002 SS bright rally red collecters edition T-Tops, fifth car 2000 SS Hard Top (NOW THATS A RARE F-BODY RIGHT THERE!!!!) ok as you can tell i voted for camaro. i agree the trans am is hella nice don't get me wrong i was gonna buy a WS6 trans am, but it's way too flashy and the camaro is more refined and especially the SS OH LORD!!!!! once i got my SS i'll never have anything less!!!!! CAMARO FOR LIFE!!!! oh God this could turn into a gang war!!!
first guy-yeah i claim the camaro what you claim foo!!!!
second guy-i claim the t/a son
first guy-what i'll jack you biatch!!!!!

hahaha ok having fun here hahahahaha

I really think the design of the Camaro is more timeless and streamlined. There's something I like more about hearing the deep, menacing exhaust note of a V8 in a Camaro over a Trans Am. WS6's seem designed for more of a short term fashion trend. They look mean as hell sometimes, and can cause that "drool" factor, no doubt, but again the Camaro seems to last the test of time.

It's basically the same car with the exception of the spoiler, headlights and positioning of the fog lights.
