Send me a PM with your contact info, we have a pretty good group of cars that cruise together.

I have a few friends that live in PW with LS based cars. I also have some friends with zo6's in Springs if you would like to cruise with us.

Hello Gentlemen. Wife and I just moved to the area about 10 months ago. Anyone out in the Parker area? Car is down right now, but under going a serious rebuild. Began it's live as a 97 Firebird V6 Auto, then went to a V8 6 speed, and now we are going to go crazy with a 408 Carbbed Setup and a Turbo 400. Should be fun.

Name is Chad.

Just moved to Colorado Springs area about 3 months ago. Just picked my car up in Texas and heading back to Colorado this weekend. Just rebuilt the engine and installed a Racetronix fuel pump. Stock internal for now. I'll be out and about in the Springs soon.

I went ahead and had the exhaust done here after I got the car running. Original plan was to tow the car home to Colorado and do all the work there but decided to get it all done here and drive the car home. Headed back to the Springs tomorrow morning.

Hello guys, I also live in colorado, Grand junction to be specific. Are any of you guys out my way? im a decent trip from springs and denver but if there was something big going on I would definatly be willing to make the trip. Been searching for a nice ls1, actually i am most likely going to be purchasing this white 00' z28 the 28th up near springs, looks very clean. 74k, lid and exhaust always garaged.

Its funny that you guys were all at the kbpi dyno day. I was actually up in the denver area that day to check out an 01 vert that was killer nice, but they wanted a bit more than i was willing to pay.

Thanks guys and if any of you are out my way in the future id love to cruise or even just bullshit.
