camaro ss or trans am? ok, so i'm not new to the world of f-bodies or anything. i drive a 93 formula t56. i drove my bros 01 camaro ss here and there. then he decided to sell it for some insane reason. 
that was a freaking bad *** car in my personal opinion. 
but my ? is really better, the camaro or the trans am. i'm looking for weight differences, aerodynamics, etc.

The LS1 powered SS your bro has is the better car in stock form and has a motor that is more powerful and reliable than the LT1 in my opinion (opti spark problems ventured me away from the LT1). I'll look up the aerodynamics specs and wieght specs and get back to you

Camaro is the purest, most uncompromising expression of the breed, "America’s honest sports car." And it celebrates its 35-year heritage by introducing a limited edition 35th Anniversary Package in 2002, available on SS Coupes and SS Convertibles. All are finished in Bright Rallye Red. Coupes include removable T-tops roof panels and body-color roof halo; convertibles have a black top. Wide dual stripes, fading solid silver into a checkered flag, run the length of the vehicle from the front fascia, over the hood and onto the rear decklid and spoiler.
