I'm more interested in the Firebird, though; and between this site: http://www.camarosource.ca/main_new_..._specialty.htm and the Camaro White Book, the majority of the Camaro info is already together.

You, I saw a 2002 yellow Collector's edition TransAm at a dealer lot a while back, sitting right beside a brand new 2004 GTO in the exact same color.
Hands down winner on looks was the 'bird. Absolutely NO comparison. Almost made me want to vomit thinking that the GTO more or less replaced the entire Firebird line. They traded a legendary icon of a classic car for a POS wanna-be. I respect the GTO's capabilities, but that TransAm would've smoked it in every category of performance, and done it with STYLE in the process.
