Default New To Tampa

Hello all, just moved to Tampa last week from Dayton Ohio. I have a 00 SS with a few mods and much more plans. Haven't seen much other fbodys yet but plenty of mustangs; reminds me of a vacation to Daytona and going to a meet at the local stake and shake. Crap load of mustangs and 4 fbodys. I need to get another set of drag radials and out to the track and see the differences.

Welcome to Tampa! Like 01RamAir said, Need2speed.com is hosting Dead Hookers 10! Most all the Fast Fbodies in Florida will be there battling it out! Not to mention a bunch of bad *** Gbodies and GTO's and Vettes! You can meet a lot of people there for sure.
