IM IN THE SAME BOAT.

Have a modded Z28 and thinking of getting a WS6.

If you're gonna sell your car for another LS1....go all the way.

ws6 The car just flat out looks better to me. The only car i would trade mine (1995 Trans Am) in for is a ws6. If your looking for more of the same get the SS, if your looking for something just a little different get the ws6. Good look either way.

WS6, no question about it.

WS6 has nearly double the votes of the SS in the which looks better thread:

Unless you're die-hard about having a car that's totally all original, save yourself about 5 grand and find a Z-28 or a T/A and just buy the items necessary to bring it to SS or WS6 stats.

The power advantage that an SS or a WS6 has over a Z-28 or T/A can be made up for with less than $500 worth of aftermarket bolt-ons.

Just something to consider.

I like them both but I dissagree with the "more of the same" comment.

The Camaro has more customizing/personalizing potential than a TA IMO,
the TA is limited to pretty much wheels and paint, and yes I own both a 30th TA and my SS.

He speaks the truth. Plus since you already have a Z just mod it. Z's are a little more rare cuz everybody has to have the SS or WS6. IMO Z is the way to go.

I'd do a Z28 for a DD and a WS6 as a Weekend Beast if I could afford it.

When i say more of the same , i mean they are both camaro's. The lines of the car are going to be that much more alike than if he purchased the ws6. Several people made ggod comments about the performance side of the cars and i agree if he was to get a SS for performance he might as well mod his car and save some money.

Go for a WS6 Has the mean look just sitting there. Have even been told by other SS owners that the seats in the WS6 have more comfort than the SS seats. Even had a buddy swap them out of his SS. If that matters.

Ive had both cars also i think the SS is better put together than a WS6 the lines are more straight and the body is more stable. I think the seats in the SS are better than the WS6 more cushion i think because the TA has those rear lumbar supports. The way the seats hug in the TA rules though and thats what i miss. I think im gonna buy another one soon just to have both Fbods 4Friggin ever man
