You will have to go in to Atlanta. Lots of street racing there. Got couple buddies up there. Lots of boosted vettes, 5.0s, camaros etc.

I'll tell you that I am in north metro Atlanta, and I don't own a sports type car anymore, but I've been here awhile...it's very different than when I lived in the Midwest. I almost never see muscles car types...modded F-bodies or mustangs or whatever else...compared to when I was in Indiana. Everybody does the big lifted mud tire 4x4 truck thing instead. It was a minor culture shock when I first moved and brought my LS1 Z28 with me a decade ago. I'd go driving around with the giant effing cam loping through a wide open dumped dual exhaust and never ever come across anything even remotely similar.

I also avoid going ITP (inside the perimeter, lingo you'll learn around Atlanta) so I can't speak to what's 'in' Atlanta
