I'm in Greenwood. I'm sure there will be ample occasions where I might find myself in Bloomington for a Friday or Saturday night, so I'd be willing to do some cruising.

I'll keep a look out for you. My SS won't be down here until next fall though. I saw another black LS1 SS with alloy 10 spokes on jordan the other day, a pewter WS6 and I saw a red Firehawk at Fiji last fall.

If you know you will be coming up to Greenwood soon or whenever shoot me a PM and we can meet up on the weekend or something. You can check out the exhaust setup and whatnot to see if you like it. I just did a lot of the major mods this past winter so I haven't got to drive the car really with all the new stuff but what little I have has been awesome so far.

Sounds good, I definitely will. Im in school till May 2 but during the summer I will be up there quite a bit so Ill let you know. I love the sound and tone in clips but always wondered about how loud it is in person, and interior drone. I DD mine most of the year and want it to be livable. From what I have been told its not that bad...

Also there is a car show at ISU in Terre Haute April 19, registration and more info is at the link above, and there will be a dyno for $50. I am going as B4CU is a good friend and student there and it sounds like a good time. We are trying to get more late model cars there, from Bloomington its right up 46 so if anyone would like to cruise up, just let me know.
