Default Berlin Turnpike F-bodys.

I hardly ever see any F-body's up at the pike. Figure I'd start a thread where we could post about any BS related to this popular cruise area in CT.


Anyone going up there today ( sat april 5th )?

I'm usually up there on Saturday nights, but my tranny is on its way to Six Speeds Inc right now, so it will be a couple more weeks before I get it back and get up to the BK show. Maybe I'll hitch a ride with someone if they're going up anytime in the next few weeks.

I usually head down to the Pike any time I have Saturday night open and the weather is nice. I didn't think anyone was out yet, I wasn't going to bother coming down until probably May.

Went up there last night , there was a pretty good amount of cars. Had a few races down on the south end where no people are at, then got a ticket for an illegal U turn. karma is a bitch!!!

Cops also towed away like 3 or 4 rice burners, and made a big show with a yellow cobra they pulled over ( like 3 cruisers and blocked off a lane ).

You guys may see another quasar blue Z up there this year, as well, because my brother just bought one about a month ago.

IMO, the pike is a waste these days. It's more of a hassle just to go out because of all the retards out there and the 50 million cops. Before all this F&F craze came out, the pike was awesome. Great memories out there.

I agree. If you find a spot with people you know no hassles but trying to cruise and your asking for trouble.

Is it worth going down to just watch? No streetcrap for me, but I don't mind watching others get towed.

I got a bunch of good memories from back in the late 90s before the rice craze got into full swing. I remember when the LS1 F-body first came out, all the 5.0 mustang guys and 4.6 Cobras where like wow wtf after we would race and find out the car was stock.

Go to bk, some awsome cars came down last year, it's like a hangout/carshow. Not neccessarily race's. I'm waiting for my new camera to arrive so I could go down and take pics of everyone else's cool cars since I sold my own.
