How far?
Just curious how far everyone has to go before they know of an identical car to their own. My po-dunk town of 1900 just added two more ws6s to the population which brings the per capita to about .5 f-bodys/person. Slight exageration, but I was curious if anyone's neighbor went out to buy one exactly like theirs?

in my town their are a bunch of fbods. only one other one just like mine. He got his first though. Ohwell, i think he's glad cause now there's 50/50 chance of who it is when a red camaro goes blowing by a cop!

Not many of the WS6 around here total, but unfortunately about 3 months after i bought mine, some guy about 1/2 mile down the road bought a black WS6 just like mine. I was a little disturbed when I first saw it sitting there, but it doesn't make mine any less fun to drive, and I didn't really buy the car to impress anyone else, so it doesn't really bother me that much. Now I just gotta meet the guy so I can talk him into buying all the mods I want to see if they are any good. Be nice to have a local prototype car created with someone else's bankrole

I was out one day and saw 4 black WS6s in the matter of an hour driving around the surronding towns. Thats when I decided to order the Blackbird stripes. I didn't want anybody to confuse me with the lady that drove the dirty TA.

I've seen a guy cruising around town with a car that looked identical to mine - silver Formula, ebony, t-tops, chromes. A couple of months ago, I got up close to him and found out that it was a Firebird - 6 cyl. Then a couple of weeks ago, i pulled into a parking lot and saw what I thought was that car. Parked next to it and discovered that this car was identical to mine - a Formula this time. So there are at least three of us cruising around this town that look identical.

When I had the '00 Red WS6 I used to see two other red ones right in my neighborhood all the time, plus a black one. I actually see far less silver Z28s around here than cars similar to my old WS6.....

dont see too many 98+ F-bodys, and the ones i do see are usually V6, SS, or Firebirds, not many Z28s
there is one guy ive met, he lives like three houses from my friend, 98 Z28 black ttops cloth auto, the only differences we had was i had leather, the year, exhaust he had magnaflow, he had headlight blackouts and rear covers i only have the rear covers, and now the rims, becuase i busted my old rims

Well considering the small size of Lincoln, Nebraska on any given friday/saturday night on our cruising street you may see multiple examples of 4th generation fbody muscle. Kind of nice when you think about it, more people to share your interest with. That doesnt even count for the many old guys/ladies out there driving them day to day.

my town of about 100k people, quite a few fbods. probably about 5 red LS1 Z28s running around. never noticed there were so many fbodies around here until i bought one. there are a whole lot of vettes around here too.
oh, and when i went to odessa about two weeks ago there was a red Ls1 z28 on every street corner, and i dont think thats an exaggeration!

I have yet to possitively identify a car exactly like mine. By exactly like mine I mean a black LS1 Z28 with the Sport appearance package and T-tops. I've had mine for 3.5 years too. I've seen mine but in different colors or V6's that also had the body kit.

I got pulled over and detained last year for over two hours because another person that lives on the same street as I do has a blue Firebird and was throwing bricks thru windows in an industrial park. I was late for work.....it took the dumbasses two hours to realize that the car they were looking for was a V6 AND a different plate than mine. I was told that they kept me there for so long because my car was registered on the same street as the plate # they were given by rent a cops at the industrial park. Gee, guess the different plates and the extra two cylinders threw them for a loop!

My husbands 95z Most likely never will find one that is its twin.
As for the other 3 Camaros we have now thats a diff story.
The pace car all we have to do is go to one of the local Shows that our camaro club puts on.(even though its not a true twin its close enough).
My 87 Iroc just around the corner
& my husband 99 thats just down the street as well.
