I don't have a preference between LT1 WS6 or SS, but I would probably go WS6 just to get something other than a Camaro. My brother had an LT1 T/A and I loved that car.

I agree. But I kind of have a bias of TA's over Camaro. I'm still pissed the owner of my car ruined 4 perfectly clean genuine ws6 rims and powdercoated them black!
However, he did fix a lot of the small problems I never had time to do. I think I'm just envious lol

Why would you powder coat the WS6 rims. I would flap a fool. But I'm gonna have to say in response to being Bia's on TA's vs Camaro's. With 4th gen I've always been Firebird over Camaro since they came out when I was a kid. Not being bias.

They are lighter although some people like the hatch cars for the reason that the extra weight is in the *** over the rear axle.

A most excellent kill. 
I'll have to figure out which ones are the "2v" variety. I remember when I first bought my Integra in 98 one of the first street races I ever got into was against a 98 Mustang GT 5-spd. He said he just installed headers. I just had a cat-back exhaust. It was one of those street races where you actually stop on an empty road in front of a full parking lot of other car people. Some hot girl drops her arms and you drop the hammer. I beat the Mustang that night, and it was glorious lol. I remember thinking it was curious that my stock, quiet 1.8L 4-cyl beat his LOUD RWD V8.

The early 4.6 2v cars were pretty slow, but I encountered one maybe a year or two after I bought my car that was a convertible 5 speed 96-98. He had just finished dyno tuning it for the supercharger he put on. It was a Vortech and it made around 360 rwhp if I recall correctly. It was a nice looking car with a roll bar and all that but he didn't want to run because he said he was working out some of the bugs. Would've been curious to see how it ran against mine as I'm sure mine was quite a bit lighter.

He's local to me, car has come a long way since the vid but this is the most recent one I could find. I love this car. I believe it has run a best of 9.42.
