Awesome, sounds like some top down weather (finally got my Purdue plates on the car today, so now it is a legal ride)

LOL

Those are pretty big words. I'm pretty sure I won't have the fastest car....
By the looks of things it looks like we will have a LOT of horsepower show up!!!


I got my car out for a spin this afternoon, took a drive around campus. I should have had some fliers. I bet I saw a 5-6 f-body's. Also so a black w/ black tinted ws6 factory rims on 52 this afternoon.

UPDATE:
I remembered a great spot for some video action. If you go north of 25 on 52 just past jiffy lube and under the rail road there is an exit on the right. All it does is a big loop under 52 and back on the other side. I figured we'd pull off, and I would go down under 52 and film as the crew drives under the road. It'll sound great and should have a great view.

On a side note. I drove through Raisors today: They have a 98 vette with a worked ls6, (VERY VERY FAST, yet very tame, sleeper.....), 00 stock formula w/ ram air, and a 97 ws6 w/ ram air that has been worked as well. All pretty clean, all red, (vette is drop top), and all auto, if anyone is looking.

i think nate and lucas will be a pretty close match but forced induction should just absolutely take either one especially from a roll. I know a procharged ls1 back at home w/ just a catback made about 500 rwhp even with stock air filter

yeah, but nates car is also probably the lightest

aaron is still probably the fastest if he can put that power down.

So who is this Nate. Sounds like he has a pretty quick car. I'm sure we can mess around a little on the highway..

That is Nate's car.

I hope we don't get into an issue here seeing how big each others car ***** is - some of you have big ones, we know it already. If I get a ticket by association, I'm gonna be pissed. We have a lot of people going on this, so the attention will already be high. If you are looking at this cruise as a chance to do a lot of dumb ****, then I encourage you do find something else to do on the 18th.

Agreed, I have a clean driving record and dont want to get caught up in things.
btw, Nate if you are reading this, your car sounds really freaking awsome

Yes, obviously everyone is going to have to be smart. No burnouts, no traffic holeshots, nothing stupid. I can't afford a ticket guys

I also cannot afford a ticket, plus messing around in traffic is just really really dumb to begin with.

Also, I was just bantering

I know my car is not the fastest and I wasn't looking to make anyone prove anything.

Thanks guys.

I am still passing out fliers, and I didn't want a fresh face coming to this thread and being intimidated.

I'm really excited for this cruise. Hope the rain stays away.

Hey fella's

Glad to see everyone is getting excited about the cruise. Like everyone else, I will probably stay pretty low key. However, I'm sure there will be a few cracks of the throttle. We'll have a good time, but not get stupid. It's not like there will be a LOT of room to get crazy anyway. I'm actually trying to figure out how to keep everyone together through town. This could be a challenge. Just know that we'll probably take it pretty slow on 52. Partially to make sure we hit the lights right, and also cause it's a little rough. I think maybe we'll hand out a couple cell numbers in case a couple people get hung up, or something happens, (flat tire, overheat, etc...???)

Can anyone think of any other challenges, that might throw monkey wrenches in the cruise. I'm not looking to make it textbook, and on a timeline, just trying to make it easy for everyone to stick together, and somewhat know whats going on when we all turn, or pull over for pics/video.

I think it's pretty obvious where the next get together will take place.
41 or Indy....
If that's the case, anyone have a car hauler we can take to possibly bring back any fallen/broken soldiers? It'll happen....

Nate
