I think few cars look better than an LS1 WS6. 77-78 would be my second choice.

I have an '02 SOM Formula with the Ram Air HO hood and WS6 wheels. I love the car, but still have to go with the '70 - '73.

98-02 Firehawk's are the best of the best! Wish I had the $$ for one, Regular TA is 2nd, WS6 hood looks out of place and doesn't flow with the car at all.

91-92 TAs verts.

Other than those, I'd say 67-69.

I voted 93-97 LT1 with the ws6 package, subtle and still very aggressive looking. I love the 98 and up ws6's but I see them way too much (still sexy nonetheless). 1st gen birds are right up there too.

Edit: How 'bout a pic comparison

If that choice were available I might have changed my vote, they were the ultimate 3rd gens (GTA especially). I voted 70-73, because there is just something about a classic 'Bird with a 455 stuffed in it!

I would love to drive a smokey and the bandit trans am, black with the big gold bird, shaker hood, t tops, turned down chrome tips on each side, of course if i had one it would have to back up the looks too.

77-78 is my fave. I like the 2nd gens best overall and then the 4th gen.

Smokey & the Bandit made this a hard one for me. I like pretty much ALL styles overall, minus the mid 70s and 88-92 years.

Newer styles, I love the LT1 WS6 T/A. It looks race-ready. I equally love the LS1 WS6s, both Formula and T/A. They look like a rolling muscle.

Older styles??? The Bandit, of course. Also LOOOOOOVE 67-68 Firebirds!!! They're like a suit-&-tie musclecar.

98-02 but im biased because thats what I own. I would still like to get my hands on a clean 70-73 though. The 97 ws6 had some of the best lines in my opinion for speed.

98-02 are my favorite, and the early 70's lookg GREAT in person, but the 76 is ONE of a kind. Only one that had its own discontinued bumper w/ the bug eye healdlights.
