Yep, first Saturday of the month, starting in April. I just don't see any Trans Ams out there. I brought mine to the October one last year as was the only bird. Granted tomorrow I'm bringing my other car to the show so there still will be no birds.

Ya there's not really much for domestic compared to Porsche, lambos, jaguar's, Ferrari's ect. out there. Definitely some big bucks tied up in some of those car/garage combos out there.
What's your other car?

I find it nice cause those cars rarely come out to actual car shows so here we get to see them.
My other car is a Ford Focus ST

Check the stickies in the Midwest section, I started the top 25 fastest list.

There is handful of fast cars here in MN. Just go to venture over to FB as not all cars are LS powered, but the majority of them are.

If I hit that thing at 100+ it would be in my cummins and that would not be pretty.

I don't think I would ever trust my skylark to be doing 100+ in the cities

Most of the faster turbo LS guys are from the Twin Cities area.
