Hey all just wanted to check in on this thread. I live about an hour from the Berlin Turnpike, I plan on coming down for some cruises once the weather is nice. Sounds like Hooters on Fridays is mostly Mustangs and Saturdays at BK is Mopar first. If anyone does get an F-body cruise going I would make it a point to go. If it is an LSX cruise does my little LT1 have to park by the dumpster?

I think we can make the cruise any vechicle we discuss here on LS1TECH so feel free. Anyone still want to get a spot set up for Saturday night? Maybe this Saturday we can all meet down there and see what kind of turn out we get

I should have my car back next week, so then I'll be able to get back to work on it, clean it up, wheel studs, etc.etc. and get some tires for the street rims and I'll be good to go. A hooters night would be good. Arrange a meetup somewhere at say 3:30, then all head over in a huge group.

I went both nights this past weekend, fri. in a buddy's eclipse *rolls eyes*, what a disaster that was. I can't stand ricers whether they're friends or not. Sat. I went down w/ a few friends in my daily driver ('97 Toyota Camry) lmao. Hopefully my car will be ready enough to bring down this coming weekend. I'm all for arranging an F-bod meet somewhere on the pike. Anyone else wanna take charge of this with me?

I'm game once I have it back on the road.... but I dunno when that will be to be honest. I'm trying to get the track stuff done,a nd then get some street tires so I can take it out, but driving it around just isn't as appealing as putting the right pedal to the floor and letting go of the transbrake

Maybe if I go to the track som saturday, on my way home I'll stop by BK and unload it, covered in rubber and all in the big lot and pull it around and into the lot.... Then just bring the truck/trailer in around the back when I'm ready to leave, load the car up and go home. I think that will send some people for a loop

I would still gladly come down from Mass if anybody gets any kind of F-body meet going, however the weather for this weekend looks iffy. But I would defintiely like to see it happen. Just keep this thread going and eventually we'll get it done.

The pike is getting good, burgerking opened up now for the muscle cars, and this last sat. the AMS gold evo was out, anyone else see that car? It has a GT42R and dyno'd 940whp I believe it was. I know it's an import but still that's a hell of a lot of power for any car.
