there is not much difference between a corvette camaro and a transam , same weight, same motor same gears. that is what gm wants you to believe so you will always think your car is inferior because the vette is gm flagship. i have tied with vets and i have beaten vetts( 02's 03's 04's) f body is a poor mans vette. i will put my virtually stock WS6 against any year vette (stock and excluding zo6) and guarantee it will be within 2 to 3 tenths of a second win or lose. so dont sell yourself short with your f body. them f bodies are bad mambajammas!!!

I think its:
A SS looks like it could kick your *** if it wanted to, but a WS6 looks like its coming over to do it.

At least thats how I have always heard it. And thats cool, b/c that means a SS is intimidating enough just sittin there while a WS6 has a chip on its shoulder and feels like it has to go around kickin everyone's ***. I hate those type of people
