Default Camaro or Trans Am?

Can anyone tell me how much of a difference if any there is in modding these cars. I will be buy one or the other this spring or sooner. I plan on putting the normal mods on it. I like both cars and I am trying to touch base on everything before I buy one of them. I know they come with the same engine so are they pretty close in horsepower stock? Is there any weakness that one has that the other doesn't?

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

^^^what they said.

Get whatever you like the best. the t/a does weigh a tad bit more then the camaro, but nothing that your going to feel.

Thanks for the help. I am leaning more toward the TA. I really like the looks of the ram air hood. It will probably come down to the best deal I can get for either one. They are both awesome cars and I can't wait for spring and some nice weather!
