Oh, that must be the one that was on the cover of R&T or MT (I forget) but the cover pic showed the porche along side the SLR McLaren and the Enzo. For some reason I thought that it was called the GT2.

I see bloomington, IL area is getting together this weekend. Its a shame we did not get together last Sunday it was so nice. I am sure most everyone was out driving. Someone know several people in the area that can just pick a date for everyone to meet or cruise? I just moved here 3 weeks ago, and looking for things to do.

I didnt have the car out Sunday. That was a beautiful day though. We'll have to start thinking about setting up a day to meet up/start the season off. April 1st is a Friday, I work saturday days 'til 2-3 but I could do something after work depending on everyones schedules. Where we going to meet at? Hooters!?!

Agreed, where the hell is Spring.

On second thought, since the tranny is in the shop, it can still snow for a couple more weeks

When are we getting together for Cordova? I'm trying to get some dates figured out for this summer, and between our Fueler, National Guard Drills, and a few weddings, most of my weekends are pretty well booked. Lets get something figured out. I know we will test some at Cordova, but mostly at Earlville, so maybe I'll just bring the Z and do a few runs in between passes. Just as long as we don't blow **** up.

Well I think it's safe to say that all the salt should be washed away.

Sandmann, your selling your Z? I thought you just got it.

I did, but I'm thinking about selling it. Not sure if I want to dump money into it, or sell it and get something else to go nuts with. I've thought about picking up a V6 vert F-body to drop my 377 and TH400 into. I love my Z, I just have to decide which route to take. I figure it might be better to sell it now, stock, than to dump a few grand into it and then decide I want to sell it. I've had a few offers on trades, but nothing really appealing as yet. I had planned to sell my Roadie wagon, but as it turns out, we are going to use it this year on the team, chase vehicle. DAMNIT, I don't know what to do.
