thats because:
  • Smokey caught most of the other bandits
  • popupheadlights from the 80s suck
  • knight rider was cool.... but it would have been cooler with a camaro..
  • you say camaro, people know what it is. you say firebird and they go "thoes vette looking things?"
  • they arnt wanna be camaros.
  • the chevy camaro has a real camaro engine. the pontiac cama--err-- firebird has a..... chevy engine
  • camaros better
  • fire BAD!

I looked for a camaro.. got stuck with a bird. In a yr out goes the bird and im definately getting a camaro. They are much meaner looking and a lot cooler in my opinion.

I like the look and feel-of-driving both of them equally the same. They both have their own unique look and feel of how they drive. Camaros are boxy and mean looking, while 'birds have smoother lines, and I like both. I like the way camaros and birds drive the same although they feel a bit different. It doenst matter, they have the same parts, they are the same car, with slight differences. It's all up to the owner. I happened to find a firebird, which is what I got. If I had found the same deal on an equally conditioned camaro, I would have got that. To me though, it seems like firebirds are a little more rare than camaros. Which is all the more reason to have one!

TransAM GTA all the way. I just love the way they look. I like Camaro's too. A black 91/92 Z looks bad ***. And Iroc's are cool too.

But I've always been a fan of TransAms. Maybe thats cause I liked KITT.

cooler looking:rockon: , firebirds are "nice" looking, camaros are mean looking, i think thats why we get the ******* stigma.

I got a camaro. wouldnt have it any other way. Riding around in it getting stares of awe is so nice. Non multi colored third gen camaros are scarce in my area, and people look when they see one. though, maybe if I had more money, I'd get a second car, a 91-92 trans am.
