Camaro SS-WS6-The rest of us....haha

OK, so im not sure if this is really the right section, so mods please feel free to move to the appropriate if its not. This less of a question and more of a discussion i suppose. I'm trying to get fellow 4.6ers takes on the differences between our motors/cars and the Camaro Z28 and SS, and the TA WS6 especially. All i know is that i will get spanked by them all lol.
So, they use pushrod motors no? Is there a huge difference in efficiency by design or are they more powerful by sheer displacement? Also, given the impressive performance specs, why arent they made anymore? I have seen some WS6's when i lived in pittsburgh that kinda wanted to make me cry lol-they were that much faster than me. Granted, i was in my blown ranger but it was about as fast as a stock new edge.
So, what do you guys think? Is the LS1 really a better motor? Or just bigger? Anyone here owned both brands? I've been a Ford guy as far back as i can remember...but its tough trying to defend myself when i cant even keep up with a stocker LS1 and i dont have any real reason to like my car better other than personal preference.

Oh man I couldnt agree with you more, the awful interior and contortion act that it took to get in and out of the F-Body is the reason I am the proud owner of a Mach1 now but in defense of that long nose, lookin out and not being able to see past the shaker takes some getting used to; i would definitely compare it to the same feeling of the long hood in the F.... do wish I had t-tops though, they are just b.a.

After owning a 96 Z and my fair share of mustangs I would say I like my cobra better then all of them. If for some reason I didn't get my cobra I would prob be in a 02 ws6 right now. You can't hate on the maros their not as bad as everyone thinks. I loved mine, hell it was only a LT but it still was fun and my first car at 16.

Doesnt a stock z28 run high 13s stock? just a hare faster than a new edge?
And an SS is just a hare faster than a Z28?
