Hi all,

I have been lurking a while but waited to register until I finally picked up a 2002 Z28. It's a lot more fun than the Ford Focus I was driving!

I am in the Southern California area and plan to do a bit of drag racing at Irwindale and Fontana.

Thanks, I got it from a guy who was about 80. He was the original owner. He wanted to get rid of it because he just got a new Lexus and had no room in the garage. It has 23000 miles and is a M6.

Anyone looking for a Focus ;-)
