So, are you guys from all over the NW quadrant of the state? Do you get together often? I am in Lafayette. I currently have a 93 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo that is for sale, and I am looking to get an LS1 (most likely a T/A, unless I can find a Camaro very cheap). I am starting to look for one now, but I am trying to wait until I sell my Stealth first.

Throttlejunkies I went out yesterday with my cousin, if i would of saw this post in time i would have tried to meet up with you somewhere.Anyway i finally got some pics of me and my cousin. He has the 04 cobra ( not stock).The one on the right is another friend, I know its not muscle but its a supercharged type R w/330 fwhp along with many other mods and its pretty darn quick for a 4 cyl, and im in the middle.
Enjoy















It was my first photo shoot so be nice, we took them just when the sun was setting so the lighting wasnt that great. It looks like its gonna be another great day so if anyone is down to do something tonight post up im sure well be out again since the weather is so nice.

All i can say is that blue oval is probably the best sounding car i have ever heard out of every v-8 sounding car through the exhaust. I have seriously thought about trading up to a 03/04 cobra just because of how sick my cousins car is. That Cobra is fast too.

Oh,Man! I am partial to red T/A's as you might of guessed and that was a beauty!How did you end up with the Camaro?
Anyway it was nice talking to you too.I had to be home at 3PM so after that last run on the oily left lane, I decided to pack it in.Not only was the car swerving on each gear change, when I looked in my rearview mirror at the end of my run,I saw black smoke behind me!!! Wow,thought I blew up my garage queen- but must of been oil residue on my hot pipes...REAL SCARY!!!
And throttlejunkies,I do remember seeing you go the other way...You were just getting there around one?Glad you got so many runs in-did you get the left lane,was it oily still?
