Let me know if you want to join us sometime, we have a friendly group and usually hang out at local places in the city.
I'm a long time Lincolnwood/Skokie resident; 20+ years in the area. We've probably seen each other's cars around and not even known it. My old WS6 grabbed a lot more attention than the current LS1 car though....

hey rpm, i remember your ws6 and still can't believe you sold that thing (why did you anyway?). I would of bought it had i not already dumped money into my car back when you were selling it (it was beyond flawless and had a perfect street combo IMO).

i used to always rev at other ls1 fbod owners a few years ago (even before i joined this site), nowadays though it seems like no one revs back anymore. Attracts a different type of crowd

met a big group of locals at the fall MIM at 41 in 2001.

Why I sold it is a pretty long story. To sum it up, basically I thought I wanted a vette but once I got close to buying one I realized that I actually wanted an F-body again. It took me quite a while to find another LS1 F-body in comparable condition and mileage to my WS6, but beleive it or not my Z28 is actually in just as perfect of condition. Hard to find people that are as crazy and particular about their cars as me. I don't have any plans to do any major mods to this one though. Eventually I'll get a second one with much higher miles and in lesser condition to build for racing...
