TA vs Camaro
Aight guys, got one quick question.
I'm looking into buying a new fbody, and I've come to prefer the styling of the TA versus the camaro. But performance wise I was curious if there's any advantage one has over the other. I realize they have the same engine...but beyond that I'm really unsure. If anyone could enlighten me I'd be forever greatful.
PS Fourth Gen LS1 - mainly ws6 vs. z28
PPS I dont wanna start a flame war between the TAs and the Camaros, so lets keep this civil, it's a tech question, nothing more.

Re: TA vs Camaro
WS6 equivalent is the Camaro SS. Trans am = Z28.
No performance advantage between the pontiac and chevy versions, pontiacs have more standard equipment from my understanding though. Comes down to which one you think looks better.

Re: TA vs Camaro
The weight difference it to small to make a difference. And well its worth the way better interior and styling. IMO. But if you really look around youll see alot less t/a's around than camaros. For like every 4 camaros theres probably 1 t/a, so i would rather get a T/a
Ws6=SS
trans am/ Formula = Z28

Re: TA vs Camaro
doesn't the TA have a slight aerodynamic advantage? not enough to notice i doubt...but a difference none the less.
the ram air setup on the ws6 is more effective than the intake on the TA, Z28 or SS

Re: TA vs Camaro
I liked my 94 TA better than my 95Z. Its just a matter of preference. I love the wing and bumpers on the TA. Plus the interior is miles cooler on the ponitacs! Damn......anyone wanna buy a Z? Hehehehe
