I for one happen to find the Firebird, particularly in nostril trim, pretty damn hot. This coming from someone with refined asthetic sensibilities.
I recognize and appreciate the Camaro's clean lines, but the Firebird to me possesses' a lot of charisma. The nose shortened, and it became a very voluptuous design. Even the interior was a lot sportier than the Camaro's. The " GTO " by comparison, is clean, but bland as a week old buscuit.
And in terms of the engine, the Firebird V8s' were said to be a little more potent than their Camaro counterparts. Chalk it up to a less restrictive Ram Air unit, whatever. It's funny how the Mustang never caught up until the F-cars were already gone.
If the WS-6 was too gaudy for you, the Firehawk was fairly restrained, and well done I think. And the Camaro had it's fair share of cheap plastic too, come on.
