Funny that the only difference I noticed tonight w/o our offensive coordinator is Cody Burns... who, i mean, as everyone saw definitely put on a better show than Todd
it was not the best looking game....we dropped 30 bux on it at my parents house to watch it on ppv too

Offense has been kinda weak all season, no surprise how things turned out tonight. We had every chance to win or tie and got nothing. Oh well. I was sad to see oklahoma lose. Maybe bama won't move up into #1.

We scored in the second half...so maybe we improved lol.

We need to get everyone together one night down here. I'm hoping to have my car down here within the next week or so. Or we can get everyone together with their daily drivers The people in my apartments are gonna HATE me when I bring the cammed T/A down here

There isn't much of a F-body scene anywhere in Alabama from what I've seen. We have a small group in Montgomery, and we usually get together with another group from Birmingham. We don't usually venture out to Auburn unless theres a good reason and gas is cheap.

I've been in Auburn for a few years. I've only had the camaro down here for about a year. (Blue SS with CCWs) I try not to drive it too much. Seen a few other f-bodies around. one of my neighbors has a orange WS6 and there is a red GTO that comes by a lot. Always looking to meet up with people.

I think that red GTO (if we're thinking of the same goat) lives at Auburn Crossing. I lived there last year and saw it parked in the back almost every day, but i rarely ever see it driving around. I've seen some chick in Ross Park where I live drive a black GTO around, i'm not sure if she lives here or just visits every once and a while but it's a girl w/ a GTO so pretty noticeable in my opinion.

My 6-speed skills suck so you never know lol. Something's wrong with the trans that keeps me from power shifting. I'm thinking it's the syncros...I just don't want to rip it apart right now. It drives fine daily driving it so screw it.

I say we try and get a group of people together sometime. if you see a LSx parked somewhere, invite them to join ls1tech to get more people in touch. i work at a bar, so something before 7 or so would be best. any takers?

I actually had an SS park next to me in the Lowder C-zone (sometime last week), i think it was orange but i don't remember. I left a note under the wiper of the car expressing my appreciation for such a nice car w/ a little notice in the bottom right corner that said "ls1tech.com" .... but yeah, that's about the extent of it.

So yeah, i'm all over it. If you see a nice fbody parked somewhere, go out of your way to leave them a note or a trail of bread crumbs.

2k1Bird, you gonna be at the garage tonight? I think i'm gonna drop by and just pay a visit.

Depends on how long it takes me to get back from Alex city at the dyno. Friend of mine is bringing his SS down here to dyno it at 5:30 or so. Yeah, let me know what time youre planning on riding over and I'll stop by.

Off to class, may leave a note on the silver SS with z06's I walk by EVERY day. We just need to make some ls1tech flyers lol.

We can always leave a trail of sad mustang owners so they can find us

Yeah, that's him. He's got some kind of exhaust on it with dual/dual tips. I think I talked to him a couple semesters back one day in the parking lots if it's the same guy. He said a buddy of his has a red WS6 and gets on here every now and then.

I see a girl driving a sunset orange WS6 every now and then. I saw it a lot last semester. Think it's a m6.

Yeah, that's my roommate. I'm gonna try to get him down here at the meeting too.

Leave him a note anyways though, I need to get him out of his shell.

Cool. He may have said white WS6 instead of red...I did remember it was a t/a though lol

Post up around what time youre gonna ride over to the parking deck and I'll meet you over there. We should be done at the dyno around 6:30 or 7:30, so i could probably be there about 9 or so. My buddy is gonna make 3 pulls: 1 N/A, 1 spraying 100, and 1 spraying 150. I think he's looking for around 500-600 hp. It's firefightergib if you've checked out the central AL thread here.

Yeah, I guess I'm gonna ride down there tonight. I've been sitting around here all day today seeing if my wheels are gonna come in. I wanted some ccw's like you've got, but if I curbed one or they got stolen I would probably do something drastic lol.

Anyone else up for meeting up tonight? I'm gonna be in my truck so no one can use the excuse "my car isn't down here" Ride out anyway

Edit: as a side note, I bought gas for 2.94 earlier. Maybe it'll keep dropping here. I was surprised to see it drop under 3/gallon
