so much fun...the g8 was definitely surprising for a big 4 door.....didnt really hit the twisties that hard in it but when they let us open it up...i floored it and first gear didnt impress me too much but once it hit second it ****** took off. and the c6 is probably the favorite car ive ever driven...the think sticks to the road so great and it was really fun w/ the paddle shifter

I would be interested in trying it. I'd be horrible, and provide good comedic entertainment for the others. What date?

Eric,
My bad, I just know you did a great job with the flyer.
If you still have the car you should bring it out. Maybe even if you don't come on the cruise. Either way you should still come with or without your car. If you want to ride along, you can ride shotgun in the slow 3rd gen.

I am not 100% positive on the turn out. I have fliered a lot of cars (probably close to 15-20 cars in the last 2 weeks). I would say we'll have anywhere between 5-10 cars. Here is who I have as confirmed coming:

BlackFormula01- Blue WS.6
CVaught- Black WS.6
LT1Formula26- Red LT1 (YOU BETTER COME!)
nhedrick007- Blue LS3 Firebird
AGray89- Silver WS.6
transamws6_97- Turquoise WS.6
speedmonster185- Blue WS.6
Austin21- SOM SS (?)

There are a few other people that look to be riding shotgun. I know I am bringing my girlfriend, but other people are looking to come. I know there are some freshmen interested that don't have their cars here yet, and they may be coming. Hopefully, some other cars will show up. Hopefully, you all listed will be able to do this as well. Might as well have one final blast of fun before you sell them...not that that's directed at any two of you .

Let me know if you know of more people. I didn't mean to exclude other people, so if you're reading this and I didn't include you, speak up!

It looks like we are going to meet at North Stadium Lot of Ross Ade 7PM SHARP! (Its getting darker later, ya know). Then were going to do a short cruise out past Purdue West. We will then come back and eat/chill at Dogs and Suds off of US 52. I believe they only accept cash, just an FYI.

After this 3 test week, I'm excited to end on this note. Hope to see you all there. Weather is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL! Drop the tops and leave the T-Tops at home, because its going to be gorgeous!

Not unless you have different wheels than your signature now. The car i saw had C5 Z06 rims on it. But the car looked just like yours. Nice looking car btw .

Hey everyone, My name is Tom. I found a flier on my car today and decided to check out this thread. I dont get on here much but I am on Fastlouis.com (st louis fbody club). I have a red lt1 Ta that is always parked right by bar-barry. I see fbods all the time around campus and think it is an awesome idea to try to organize something! unfortunately I cant make it on friday as my frat has barn dance....but any other time I would love to go cruising somewhere. I am always drivin around northwestern. Hope to meet you guys sometime. facebook me if you want Tom Canada.

btw the purdue police ws6 would look great leading a cruise....

Haha, I can't believe one of the fliers made it on here!

Thanks for posting up! We'll let you know if something else is happening soon. I'd also like to do a fall color tour or something like that. Keep an eye on this thread periodically and feel free to join us anytime!

Yeah that would be me in the garage. I live in the apt right next to it and our lot is sometimes full so I park it in there alot. I have seen another red ta on campus with y2ks but its an ls1. As far as whats done Its got a forged 355 with ported heads & intake, lt4 cam, pacesetters and TD's, 3.73 out back. few other minor things. FYI it has an Indiana plate on it not the MO plate in the pics.

Ed- I almost threw out the flier until i saw FBODY across the top. Usually I hate when ppl stick crap under the wipers.
