RE: WS6 and SS, overrated?
I have a 99 V6 that I changed the sway bars and rim and tire size.It sits very low to theground which helps in handeling.I love the way it handels. I have never taken it to a course but through country roads, on and off ramp, expecially the rotary by my house,for you out of towners "round-a-bout" it sticks and holds awsome. I am not running a V8, but at high speeds its fun to drive anything other than straight.

RE: WS6 and SS, overrated?
That's been my problem over the years. I'm not really a drag guy, it's too simple, too much car and not enough driver skill. I like ripping through the corners learning when to downshift andwhat gear you need to go into. The type of driving that really makes you plan ahead and respond according to what you're car is telling you. This normally wouldn't be a problem when choosing a car but I also love American Muscle and despise most imports. As much as I love Camaro's and Trans Am's their suspensions can't even begin to hold a torch to most imports. I almost picked up a twin turbo Supra once but just couldn't bring myself to do it, too much of a redneck I guess.

People who think drag racing takes very little skill usually have never drivin a fast drag car.

RE: WS6 and SS, overrated?
WS6/SS +'s:
Appearance...
Exhaust/intake (but these are often the first thing to get replaced when modding...so pointless imo)
Suspension (yet again, easy modification)
Only benefit I see about is an SS is it will look the way I would want it to look, and i wont have to buy and paint a spoiler and hood
oh, and dont forget the big ego boost that comes w/ an SS

He is exsactly right.
Z28 = WS6 = SS = Trans Am
They were mostly for colectiblity value & cosmetics.
As far as handling goes, the camaro isent only for strait line driving. It is accully one of the better handling muscle cars out there. The engine is mounted far enought back to have good weight distrabution. One of the biggest things aginst the handling is, unlike the corvette, it has a solid rear axil.
