Camaro or Trans/Am - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Had a great discussion about the Camaro outselling Mustang, during which a point came up.
Would the Camaro still have out sold the Mustang IF the Trans/Am were still being produced.

I have started to wonder how many people bought Camaros because the T/A just isnt there to fill the void.

I have owned many of both.....more Trans/Ams (9) than Camaros (4) and depending on the looks might have gone to the Red Arrow brand again.

How say you all?

Would have bought a Trans Am

It's hard to understand how Pontiac was hurting so bad when I see Pontiacs everywhere. Just the Grand Prix itself was a big seller.

In any event, I would decide based on the looks and options. But my heart is always with Chevrolet and the Camaro.

For me, I would have bought a trans am instead. Always been a pontiac man.

Camaro. It's always been Camaro for me. Not disrespect to the Bird, may it RIP- it's a beautiful car. But personally, I'll take the Chevy over the Pontiac regardless of generation.

fastkevman · 06-10-2010, 05:17 PM

Diehard Pontiac fan here.........definitely would have went TRANS AM!!!

jennnchuck · 06-10-2010, 05:21 PM

i would hate to see it, but my heart belonged to trans am, would have probably gone with the t/a if it was available

USAFJeeper · 06-10-2010, 06:12 PM

Trans Am definitely. Gold with a screaming chicken in black on the hood

I am starting to look for a "Gen 2" Trans Am to start restoring. (With T-Tops of course!)

I've always preferred the Camaro over the Firebird. Can't wait to get my 201x as it'll be the third Camaro I've owned.
