i'm fairly new...to both the site and Columbus (just PCS'd here from Ft Riley) but as far as I know there's no "meeting spot". A couple of us are going to Silver Dollar drag strip on Friday though.

But yeah, i'd be interested in a little meet or get together or something. Go for a cruise too or something.

There is a park behind everything musical, can't think of the name, that is where most of the rice hangs out. There is the gas station on the north end of veterans, past the bridge over jr allen.

I am gone also and my car is not going anywhere til I get these parts put on. I should be back around the 18th or 19th of this month.

Wow. Name of said shop? I think I would like to get her dyno tuned rather than using a handheld. That way I will have some numbers as well!

Interesting. You guys ever heard of "exile" car club? This kid in class was telling me about it. Said there was a nice vette that met up with them. Although he was driving a rx7 so it might run the gammit on variety...

Just saw over on camaro5.com that somebody has put a single turbo on a V 6 camaro. 400 rwhp. Thats not bad for 6 banger. That would make one badass sleeper.
