It will be the Nova or the Firebird, not sure yet. I am leaning towards the Nova though since that one does not need a trailer and all the support stuff, although my wife might make me bring the trailer anyway!

Not sure what they are looking for, but I can make it run between 9.25-10.0 pretty easy. There has been rumour that 9.50-10.0 is what they will be looking for.
By the way, Milan is sold out. It sold out in under 15 minutes.

ZL1Killa, that was a 3000GT or something I think, thats what happens when an AWD car only hooks half way. I only seen it for a second as I was walking by.

Lot of LS1 cars there thats for sure, shame it wasnt a little warmer - I spent most time keeping warm in the trailer and didnt get to make the rounds.
