Default F-Body Rarity

Sorry I didn't know where I should post this so it seemed the most appropriate.
Of the Pontiac Formula/TransAm, and The Chevy Z28/SS, which set of cars are considered more rare to see on the road. Oh and I'm not talking of any specialty lick Firehawks. Just the Formula, TA, Z28, and SS
I'm guessing the Pontiacs since it seems like I see more corvettes and vipers then them.

Definitely Formulas. I'm trying to remember, but I don't think I've seen a plain Formula all year. Tons of TAs and Camaros of all kinds. Mine is a Formula WS6, one of the least common, but I know of at least a couple around here. Just wish it was Pewter sometimes, or silver, life would be much easier. Good luck finding one.

I think I've only seen 3 formulas in my area. Two LS1, One LT1. Z28s are more common and I've seen about 4-5 SS and 4-5 WS6 cars. There are a **** load of v6 f-bodys around here though.

Definitely Formulas in my area. I see V6 Camaros/Firebirds the most and SS and Z28s equally as much. Ws6 is seen a little less but they are still around. I love Formula WS6s. I've only ever seen one and it was at a huge F body meet.

Can't back this up, but I think the most rare is the WS6 optioned Formulas. I'd say the SS Camaros and WS6 T/A's were fairly common, certainly not limited production.

i would have to go with Formula also being rarest along with the rest of the breed, as far as i know there are no formys around here, out of the few birds its T/As and WS6

My car is typically the only 4th-gen f-body wherever it goes.

Cool I thought it was along the lines of the Formula. That I know of there are only two of us in my town, and I can't even back up the other, it may be a v6, its always sitting in a guys driveway and its to far away from the road to read the badges and I can't see the exhaust.

I see plenty of formulas, ss/z28, v-6 camaros and firebirds. The rarest for me is WS-6's in general, and anniversary editions for the camaro and firebird.

I see WS6 cars as much if not more than regular T/A's... I think SS Camaro's are more rare. Maybe someone can post some production numbers???
