When's the show again? Surprisingly I dunno about it. If the Turd GT is there, I'll probably go. Seeing the black one w/ silver stripes drive around here has made me fall in love with them even more than I did when they first came out. Definitely badass cars.
What else is supposed to be there besides all the boring stuff?

I didnt go today. It's tomorrow and sunday at the rivercenter. I dont know exactly what will be there. Ford GT is for sure, then probably a C6, 05 GTO, Magnum, 300C, 05 stang GT, maaybe a 05 viper, doubtful that the charger will be there. (Some of these are boring I know.) But again I am only guessing, I do not know for sure. I'll probably go anyway tomorrow.
I haven't seen the GT around anywhere. Where's it at, davenport?

It sounds like we're going to be able to get together a decent sized group of cars.

The best time for racing is Fall. Spring kicks ***, but don't expect your best times to show up for atleast a half a year.

J if I could help you I would have already. There is a member on here Glennster from E. Moline. He works at Transmissions Plus in Colona. I'm not making any promises but he is an option if you wanted to ask him. Real nice guy, I told him about this thread. I imagine he's more likely to post up in here once spring is upon us.
And it wont be soon enough.

On a side note, everyone should go over to Lujacks and check out the Carrera GT they have sitting on the floor...... its fricken awesome. I stopped by today and snagged some pics.

Well my tranny is now sitting on my work bench in the garage.
Bought an adapter kit for my floor jack, cost $40, and worked fairly well. Now to decide whether to rebuild it myself or find someone with a little more experience to do it..... anybody have any thoughts?
