im actually in Chicago, along with quite a few others that don't really post here. I'm not sure if Roy (DriveATransAm) still posts here, but he lived in Lincolnwood and had one of the quickest local LS1's a few years ago. Pro Stock John I believe is still a Chicago local along with Keith (Magnus). I live on Chicago's nw side, not far from lincolnwood at all. Let me know if you want to join us sometime, we have a friendly group and usually hang out at local places in the city.

The last G2G i was at there was 35 LS1's and 3 LT1's now at the downers spot we went to it was more like 15 LS1's and 4 LT1's but any who us Lt1 guys are being out numbered.
