You can PM me when your going to be arround. There is a group of us that normally hang out in Plainfield, off Exit 87 on 395. Starting in the summer, we meet at Hanks Dairy bar on RT 12 a lot. Sometimes at car shows @ Altered Images Customs on RT 12 in Plainfield. Check out www.storminstangsofconnecticut.com A Stang site, but a few f-body guys hang out on there. They are all local to Plainfield, Dannielson, Griswold, etc.,

Locals in danielson & plainfiels, Myself, gman, 99Zman, z28convert, and a few others.

Yup, Right across from the Jade Gardens, Chinees place. I think the Chinees place had a fire and are not in business anymore.

Are you from NH, or local here?

What color Z? There are a couple Very Fast Z's, and a Few Lid & Cat-back **** talkers.

One guy claims to have a "special Motor" in his Formula or T/A. Says it has 475 rwhp w/ stock manifolds. Can't put headers on it because it sits 2" farther back than other ls1's.
