123,

I am not sure what you said...but I have no info on a red truck or a viper...I'm not familiar with either of those vehicles. Either way, feel free to join us when we figure out what we are doing next. It's always fun to have more people. Some of us have fast cars here, others, myself included, don't. Its a nice mix.

Lucas,

We'll let you know when something goes down. Keep up with this thread...I really want to get something going once the weather gets nicer and the salt gets off the road. Probably something after spring break? I'm not sure, maybe some others will put in a voice. Last time we threw something together and had about 8 or 9 nice cars come out...so I think we can get more and have more fun. What do you drive?

Fast to me is running in the 11's. Then followed by really fast if you are running 10's, and 9 is a super fast car. I guess thats the way I percieve it. If your car runs 12's, I might consider it quick. So I consider my car just quick.

I think my car is wanting to divorce me. In the last few days a headlight has gone out and my 2nd gear synco is starting to bug me. Then, today, P0355 and PO357 at the same time. Car is in time-out right now with the battery unplugged...hopefully the codes will reset. My fingers are crossed hoping dirt just got in the injectors or something.

Anyway, anyone close have a spark-plug wrench?

Ed, sorry to hear your car is giving you a hard time. Hopefully you will get the bugs worked out of it. They all have trouble at some point in time. As for the spark plug wrench, I can't help you there. Hopefully it all works out for you, see ya round

I graduated from Purdue in 2003 so i'm not up there a whole lot (although only about an hour away). I still have a little brother running around up there, so I'm game anytime somebody wants to set something up!!!

When we're done we can always hit Brothers after it's all over...

Nice, sometimes I don't understand the truck thing; that engine in one of our cars would be in the 9s...

Oh well still badass!!!

Looks like we have a few more people interested now. We have only got together one time. It was a pretty good time. I think it would be fun for us to all get together and cruise to a few car shows or events together. Welcome everyone

How does the idea of a "Car Crawl" sound? We could take a cruise then park them over at Chauncy and celebrate our arrival with a beer at Jakes?
