Default Does your vette have a twin sibling???

Something I noticed in my time in CF is that I've seen some vettes that had either identical or similar upgrades. For example, seeing a car that had identical wheels, and hood in the same color scheme...so...does your vette have a near identical brother??? or sister of course

Toque's and mine look pretty similar (for now).

Same wheels (his are 19" up front, mine are 18")
Same exhaust (he has the 4 tip version)
Same seats (his are leather, mine are microsuede)
Very similar engine mods (bolt ons + cam, he has different heads)

All around though, he's WAY more modded (brakes, coilovers, interior enhancements, etc) but I'm slowly trying to catch up!

Give me a few weeks though and we'll be plenty more different! More on that later...

We drive a very common '03 torchred coupe with polished thin spokes. Have seen a few around and on CF.

Not sure about a twin sibling, however I think my MSG vert and Laurie's (aka "Tomboy") MSG vert were seperated at birth!

Over the years, it seemed as though we were always within 6 months of each other when it came to mods. Our Caravaggio spoilers, Vette Essentials Interiors, and similar HID/LED lighting were all installed within a few months of each other.
