Default beware of new n00b!

lol

Hey guys Im new here. Just got my 02 SS about 2 months ago and already started upgrading chassis/suspension after finishing all the maintenance to it. Even baselined the thing already... https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomet...-dyno-wow.html (vid is on Post#19, this was at Twilight Performance in Opa-Locka)

I live down in Miami. For years I've seen (either on the road or at Countyline) some serious F-bodies and LS-equipped cars in general. I'm curious though, is there ever any sort of meet down in this area? Just curious to see what other folks down here got going on and get some insight from the locals.

Thanks!

Im Eddy btw

Oh yea I've seen that sig around this site lol. That's a bad *** selection of cars!

Are SSP meets open to non-members? I'm always down to hang out with car crews but I've never been the kind to join a "club" per say.

We're the most "non-club" club there is... If that makes sense, lol.

Doesn't matter what car you drive, you just come, hang out, just an open-minded group of car guys that meet up to share our passion... Some members actively show up to every single event, some only to meets, or a little bit of both. I've made many friends through SSP.

Makes perfect sense and sounds just like my kind of crew lol. Back when I had my turbo maxima it was a group of us Maximas here in Miami. Now I have the SS, one of us has a 330i, another has an RX8, an Altima SE-R, and we all still hang out and BBQ it up just like the old days. Hopefully I'll be able to show up for the next event/ meet

Man I miss going to Moroso. Last I went was in November 07 when the Maxima only had the 3.5 motor swap, full trim (including full tank of gas lol) and slicks. Ran a 14.1 with a crappy 2.0 60' (was making 243-ish WHP at the time). By the time I had the turbo on the car, Moroso was amidst its rebuilding- I was at 374whp! Then of course I got rid of the turbo and built the engine All-Motor and sold the car a few months after without ever having taken it back to Moroso (I refuse to call it PBIR- just like I still call "that stadium" Joe Robbie Stadium!!!!)

I have to plan out a trip out there to get a baseline run on this car before I touch the engine. I never liked countyline for the track- it sucks. But the atmosphere at Countyline is WORLDS more fun than at Moroso (mainly the announcers and MUCH better food, lol).

Welcome aboard. I understand the PBIR/Moroso thing as well, I have been going there since 1985 and it's hard calling it anything but Moroso
