im actually in Chicago, along with quite a few others that don't really post here. I'm not sure if Roy (DriveATransAm) still posts here, but he lived in Lincolnwood and had one of the quickest local LS1's a few years ago. Pro Stock John I believe is still a Chicago local along with Keith (Magnus). I live on Chicago's nw side, not far from lincolnwood at all. 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.
