Camaro or Firebird?

We all love our 3rd gens, but which one would you rather have, and why? I always thought it was interesting, Id talk to my friends and they would be talking crap about t/a's when there the same as my RS basically. Thought id see what you all thought. Vote on what you think, just try not to bash wach others, just constructive critisim...
Personally I like both, but really like the 91-92 t/a's and 85-92 Z28, Iroc Z, and 91-92 RS. Just me, but those I think look the most agresive.

I'd love to eventually have a 87-89 IROC vert or a 91-92 Z28 vert. You forgot to put t'top cars in the poll, or would that fall in the coupe category.

I personally like the Thirdgen Firebird (newer ones) better. The interior was better looking and more luxerious than the maro. Also it looked better (i think) and had better aerodynamics.

When it boils down to it, they are both the same car (literally). What one likes is the cosmetics of the 2 'different' body styles.
Personally, for muscle, the camaro has the agressive bulldog 'tear you a new a--' styling and the birds have a more sleek, refined 'cat-like' quality that says 'I look tame & sweet but, when I'm ready to attack, look out'. But, that's just my (slightly inebriated) opinion, I could be wrong

Dude that is brilliant! Couldn't have explained it better myself.

I've always liked the design of the birds better. Their interiors are also more fancy looking than the Camaro's. But the 91-92s with the banshee nose look a lil bit less tame and a tad more agressive than their predecessors.

My favorite has to be the 91-92 camaro rs's. The third gen camaros just look badass, but i really like the 91-92 gfx the best, and i'm not that big of a fan of the z28 high rise spoiler. I dont like the way any convertable looks with the top up, just my opinion. so camaro coupe it is, lol

Sorry guys, this thread is not tech related in any way. I dont want Brad or Dirk to start putting people on probation or banning them just for a few posts.
