it's because a muscle car was different than a sports car. essentially the muscle car started as your family cruiser with a big badass engine.

I also prefer the looks of the t/a over the Camaros. My 02 Z/28 just looked plain. I didn't like the pewter color either. I put a set of 10 spoke ss wheels on it and it helped it in the looks department but still imo did not look as good as either of my t/a's or my formy. The ss hood and wing help them a lot too. To this day, the 4th gen ws6 is one of the baddest looking factory cars ever made. IMHO of course...

I couldn't (stand to) read it all, but this has been one of the most stupid threads ... EVAAARRRR!

Two poor performers race in what appears to be a "slow contest" and someone is stupid enough to make like it's a bragging point. To top that off, the video doesn't actually show any of the supposed evidence, other than 2 cars were on a track, driving slowly as if afraid to win! What a joke...

OP... I did get far enough to realize, you're not very smart. For example: You talked to Mike, trying to put him down for "assuming" your car is still.... what YOU claim it is! Dunce! Carry on.

The 5.0s are stout, granted I pulled one from a 40 roll in my "ugly slow *** 04 gto"

WS6 is a badass car and I love the hood. However, the Camaro SS with center exhaust is pretty nice to. It is close between the two at least in my opinion with a slight tilt to the WS6 just because of the hood.
I'd take either one though.

I don't think it's as much common knowledge as it is a fact ! Not even arguable ! No if and or but ! Just straight 100 % fact

Pretty lame argument when both cars are virtually identical underneath. Take your pick.

its not a lame argument in the cosmetic department. performance wise, yes, an idiotic argument, which is why none of us are arguing that........

Meh, I guess. When I here both sides call the other car "ugly" it seems ridiculous to me. Both cars look pretty good in my opinion and share some similarities. Neither of them look as good as the Mustangs of that era.

Oops, I probably shouldn't have said that.

Sure....it started in the 50's though. You had 55 bel airs with power packs.....57 fuelie cars.....that lead to 409's with 2 4's and 400+hp in the early 60's. Other manufacturers had stuff like that too. It was hardly a new concept.
