Hopefully you have a safe return, and thank you for your service! Not many people playing with LS1's these days in Iowa it seems, but who knows I could be surprised. There are only a few roaming around town where i'm at but nothing special.

It's only been running since the beginning of October and I have put maybe 1,000 miles on it, ha.

Putting it on WS6store's dyno Thursday, and putting it away for the winter this weekend .

I'm trying to get some headers put on then a tune maybe, then shes headed to be put up also.. Sucks but better than running it in the snow.

Sounds like CR has quite a few. Although Creston is a bit smaller ofcourse. We have maybe 3-4 non V6 fbodies around. Cocky V6's are a dime a dozen here.. Makes for a good laugh though.

Don't currently own an F-body anymore (finishing college), but I am a car enthusiast and hang out with some of the Des Moines guys.

I can speak for all of us that we are always down to meet new chill guys and who doesn't mind some friendly runs?

Meeting new people who are just as enthusiastic about these cars would be sweet. I've only got a few local guys who are Mustang fanboys so people who know their stuff would be nice

Well, you came to the right place as far as enthusiasm goes.

As far as knowledge, RedRocket and our buddy Dave would be a much better bet than me

Not many post on here, because Mustangs rule.

Same here. Don't get me wrong there are some bad *** Mustangs out there but for the most part they are all the same and not done up very well in my eyes.

Exactly. I wouldn't mind hanging around someone who had a nicely modded GT or what have you.. But if you see a GT around here its stock and some fanboy is driving it leaving stop signs in 3rd gear
