I was ready to buy an 02 WS6 Ram Air Vert until smelling fresh paint, digging deeper and seeing the bondo...

Ended up with an 02 Z-Vert, but would have been happy with either.

Voted Camaro to even up the vote, and attempt to get my post count into double digits.

I think the hottest 4th gen in the world is a black on black m6, 1997ss. PERIOD. I love the looks! I mean, ls1 cars are alright, but they are too, idk, just dont look as hardcore.

trans am for me the maros inside felt too big for me the dash on the t/a seems closer, and the t/s has a more agressive look then the camaro i just can't get past those ugly camaro light the put on the last gen.

I'd say the opposite I can't stand the TA headlights,maybe if they sat flush when they are closed...but....they still flip up,which I don't like.

First off, stock verse stock, the camaro's front always looks better than the transam to me. Pop up head lights suck. But thats not saying that I dont like the transam though, i mean, look at what i drive. The rear TA looks vs the Camaro is a toss up, i like the high rise, but it doesnt look good on a Camaro. LT1 camaros pwn ls1 camaros..

i was gonna go with a Firehawk when i bought my ride in back in 2000, but i decided not to spend an extra $3-4K more for basically the same car as an SS

I'd take the Camaro if its an SS, T/A if comparing to a Z28 (the SS hood/spoiler combo is bada$$, IMO)

All f-bodys are " basically" the same car , with obvious different bodies on the firebird and camaro. Motor is pretty much all the same with a few minor changes in years and special models, but its still an ls1 and will run 13.0-13.6 stock.

These camaro vs firebird threads never seem to go anywhere, shouldnt it be f body vs mustang?

I just sold my 97 camaro Z28 and decided i would like to try the Trans Am. So i upgraded a little bit to a 99 LS1 Trans Am. I say upgraded because of the newer motor and it seems to me that the Trans Ams are nicer because they come stock with things like leather, monsoon, and steering wheel controls. These things were optoinal on camaro and they didnt have steering wheel controls until 2000. Just my opinion.
