maybe we should start a LSX car websight for germany. I already own one webforum, too easy to make another. then we could coordinate meets and track days like the mustang guys do.

Yeah, there is F Body Europe but there is barley any activity on there. I'd be down for just about anything LSX since there are way too many Mustangs and Challengers. You know your a bad *** when you can get your stock car from afees just like everyone else lol.
