the WS-6 is gaudy and rediculous. I'm kinda glad that's gone, that car to me, with all it's stupid plastic trim and decals was the very symbol of everything wrong with american cars. The GTO is a much much better car. The Firebird and camaro were mechanically the same car, same speed, same handling, bit for bit the same cars. Well, their ram air was actually a little different (because of the pontiac's bizarre body clad and hood). The mustang, despite having a beam rear suspension, depending on trim, does handle better in Mach 1, Bullitt, and the IRS cobra versions. The Firebird/Camaro was faster, it was also more dated in terms of interior, refinement and style. The camaro looked cleaner, classier, more lasting in style, and was no more expensive.
