Default Turbo black T/a in phoenix, who is this?

I was driving in ahwatukee arizona, and came accross a black t/a with a front mount and turbo kit, and his license plate read 408 CI. Does anyone know who this is, I don't know many guys in the area with turbo'd f-bodies, and I am tryin to get in touch with more owners.

We talked briefly, at a stop light, and i think he said it was a front mounted turbo, the car was smoking a good amount when he took off. anyone know if he's on this forum?

Wasn't me. Mine is apart for the new build it's a 408/F1-R anyway. If you talked with him at the stop light it DEFINITELY wasn't me ... It's hard to hear the person in the passenger seat . Sounds like they're similar looking cars though.

I shipped my shortblock parts down to LME on a pallet for machine work and assembly and I did the rest. I've done my own builds up until this point, but after picking my block up from the 2nd "reputable" machine shop and finding they didn't do what I specified and weren't truthful about it... I just sent it off. Apparently they just think you'll pick up a block and slap the parts together without putting an indicator or mic on their work. Pretty sad actually, but it's done.

Yes I do sir, I do both Tempe and polytechnic, and I know I've seen quite a few cars I recognized from LS1tech.

I see Finite1 every so often I think, same with clscamaroSS (I think thats his screen name), and bluestrat if you've seen him post.

Good to know, I have seen that vette for sure

That's my favorite color btw, so good choice

I usually park in the teacher parking lot because parking enforcement is too retarded to know the difference between a red student parking pass and a red teacher parking pass.
