I've got twin turbos too.

In Marietta you've got Barrett Parkway on Friday & Saturday nights (tons of import/domestic cars hanging out.)

Seriously, Atlanta is the place to be when it comes to LS1 stuff. Hell the southern section of this site might as well be called the ATL SECTION made famous by slt"pops"200mph.

Florida is nice, but not for me.

Apparently no, they are sending me there to work at the RAIMD. I was actually going to be going to New Orleans, but my orders got switched to ATL. I am not complaining, since I attended school @ NAS Meridian, and loved the Atmosphere, and the people. I have heard plenty of good things about Atlanta, and have a few friends that actually live pretty close.

I'm originally from St. Louis, so being closer to home is a major benefit.

You will like it here. I have stayed in Califonia for about a week and couldn't wait to get back to Georgia. It was a nice change of scenery but it gets old. The only thing that sucks here is traffic. Post up when you get here
