[QUOTE=badformulaLS1;16873495]Random new guy comes out of now where with the best idea yet lol. I'm definitely down for this. It would be VERY VERY difficult to get 25-30 cars to commit to it and actually show up considering theres only around 5 active posters on this thread. If we promote the hell out of it though we should be able to get enough people to make the cost per person pretty low.[/QUOTE


I think it would be awesome, a super fun event. I should be able to round up between 5 to 8 cars myself.

So estimate 7 including you, plus hopefully at least 5 from this thread will come out. Then we'd have to set a date and create a thread for it here and on every other f-body forum to hopefully get at least another 18. 30 cars would be 50 bucks person. Not too bad I guess. I don't really want to pay any more than that though.

Well, i'm in Miami too, but i no longer own an F-body, I would love to get into one again. Does anyone know of any being sold in decent conditions? Like personally, not just craigslist.

man i think i should be out soon. i don't think i will take more that 2 weeks for me to come out. i have to give much thanks to my brother and uncle that dropped the trans down for me while i was away. the trans is currently at the shop now being tested to see whats going on with my 3rd gear. hopefully sooner. i have to talk to my tuner to see if he come out to tune my brothers car for this week end.

So I know the direction I am going with my car 12 sec v6 with a 100 shot. But my goal is to retain above 20 mpg, because its a daily driver.

Not sure how much that's gona cost you but I think it'd be more worth it to sell it and buy an LS1 than can almost run 12s bone stock.

nah I want to be different. Anyone can buy a v8 put bolt ons and run 12s. I want something different. I am looking at getting a motor rebuild it from the bottom up new cam and everything ported and polished. Should cost around 3k in the motor. I will basically have a new car with 0 miles when I do the motor. the only v8 I would get would be a white vette or a white ta

No offense but i have a hard time believing that. Might outflow stock 243s but not a decent set of ported ones.
