Since I own an '01 T/A WS6 and a '91 T/A and a '91 GTA, I'll give my opinion. 3rd gen definitely looks better from the side. The lack of curves makes the 3rd gen look edgier. From the top, 4th gen because of the curves looks better. Front is a tie, just different personalities. Rear, probably go with the 4th gen, mine just looks great from the rear in Navy blue.
Overall, a tie. 3rd and 4th gen Firebirds both kick a**.

Don't worry, you're allowed to go on a pic-posting frenzy, you just got your car repainted!

Have to say the 3rd gen still wins in my book, but only slightly They're both great cars.

And... once again, that's a great car/paintjob!

Simply put, they're both beautiful,draws a tear to my eye. But if I were you, I'd change those rims on ur t/a, just my opinion though, and i absolutely LOVE that color on your car. One more thing kinda sidetracking here, but what kind of camera are you taking these pics from??? they look gorgeous

I agree, both look good but dump the wheels.

What about 3rd gen Camaros versus 4th gens. I only have this pic but which Camaros are prefered?

------------------
86 Camaro Black SS Coupe, T Tops, ASCD Daytona Twin Turbo hood, Flowmaster, Custom Black Paint, Dunlop Road Kings S/R tires, Wheel Country Directional Chrome Wheels,new charcoal & gray interior including seats and door panels, leather wrapped steering wheel, shifter and emergency brake, new carpet and headliner, complete front end suspension rebuild, new Valve seals, and more mods to come
'91 RS 5.0 TBI = Waiting to be modded, but has all of the toys inside.

I dislike the 4th gen camaros, If they weren't f-body's I'd probly be on a holy quest to destroy all!
Ok well, maybe thats a little harsh. I would be forced to not like them or something.

I just don't like all of the body changes. Another thing, open the hood and work on the engine and then rejudge what you orignally thought.

Love the car! I think a 91-2 GTA nose would be the perfect touch & really compliment the look. Even as is though, looks awesome and well done!
