I know a ton of people from other sites; TCG, CHC, CTR and what not. Been on them a few years now but for what ever reason never came over here. I'll check it out and see what's good.

Sound clip as well...

I have started the process of looking for one. I'm on my 3rd f-body (plus a Cobra ). Still on fence, like the fact that I've got a paid for t/a, but a the same time I would like a vehicle with a modern platform underneath, to see how that goes.

I really want a 6.0, but the prices are too much to justify a few extra cubes as nice as that would be.
