I prefer the TAs expecially the GTAs becuase they look lower and more agressive than the formulas with the gfx and stuff on them.

I think Trans Am are cooler, they just look like they will tear you a new one. Where as formula's just look sporty.

'85-'90 style Trans am with a formula powerbulge hood. Take a look at my '83 that had gfx from an '88 GTA and the stock powerbulge hood. I think they look so mean with them. Yea I know the headlight motors were stuck up..but I was in the middle of fixing her up until some idiot totalled her.

The 85-90 TA`s have my vote but only by a slim margin you just can`t deny the 90-92 formy`s either.:hail:

While i love the look of camaros / firebirds... I have to say that the headlights (when up) make firebirds the most retarded looking frontends ever... It looks like the car is in pain or fluttering..

They need to bring back the firebird for a year JUST so they can make a better headlight design..

No good can come from this. Just a bunch of arguing of which style looks better. Eventually it will turn into a flaming war...therfore I will prevent that from the get-go.
