Question Looking for a friend.

Hey guys,

I'm a new guy here over from LS1GTO.com, and am looking for someone in the North Tampa/Lutz/Land O' Lakes area who could help me make a decision on whether or not to buy an f-body. Of course by that I mean a test drive/ride. Preferably a 'vert, but beggars can't be choosers. I used to drive an '04 GTO, so I have a good idea of the power, but I'm trying to find out about the handling/ride qualities. As a reward for this generosity, I would be willing to buy lunch for said owner.

Or, if anyone knows where I can rent a V8 f-body for the day and get a feel for it, I would be much appreciative.

Thanks in advance.

Kyle

If your ever near Deltona, (Northeast Orlando) let me know, cause I would be willing to let you have a test drive, but it's a t-top car, not a convertible. Sorry.

Hey jason, where abouts in Brandon? I stop in to James-Rivard Pontiac-GMC every now and again, just to say hi and see what they have. We could meet somewhere. I'm not exactly sure where Riverview is, but I wouldn't mind taking a little drive out there. If you want to meet sometime early next week Mon-Wed, I'll spring for lunch, and we'll check out the car. From the looks of your sig, riding in/driving your car will be a lot of fun.

Lasombra, thanks for the offer but, unfortunately I'm not on that side of the state very much.
