Man...don't look down about it.
I was 23 when I got my Trans Am.
I didn't know ANYONE out here with an F-Body.
Now I hang with these guys almost every weekend during the summer.
It all comes around. You will get your car.
And Chicago has a HUGE F-Body scene.

Where in Chicago are you guys? I'm in Bloomington IL. Down here it's kind of mixed. The ultimate=Mustangs and the next best=Camaro/Firechickens....oops I meant birds, really, I did. Then ofcourse, I think we can ALL agree we have the pukes=ricers. Although, there are a few of them you actually have to watch out for. They're usually the ones that you'd never expect (sleepers). They'll just have a nice looking spoiler (not too tall) and decent looking wheels (not too much bling) and their exhaust ALMOST sounds good (no fart cans). Another group that's growing down here is the Grand Prix 3.8 and 3.8 SC cars. They're getting some good #'s at the track out of them.

Luos, you beat me to the punch....I know where Chicago is also. It's some small town north on I-55. Sorry man, had to give ya some crap.
Do you Chi. guys ever go to Joliet- Rt.66, Byron near Rockford, or U.S. 41 in Morroco Indiana?
Luos could beat Vipers if he could get traction! Do you have any suspension mods to help plant the tires? Or drag shocks/struts, move the battery to the trunk? Anything would help. Not to mention, getting slicks!

Oh, I tried clicking on the pics. The red X's. Nothing happens. I can't see them. How do I get them to come up. The screen just stays the same, nothing at all happens.

I had the pics hosted. Took them down. Needed to clear some space.
My car has suspension done. Torque arm, lower control arms, lower control arm relocation brackets, subframe connectors, panhard bar, strut tower brace, springs. Just wasn't hooking on these Nitto DR's. 12.64 at 115.44 MPH. NHRA adjustments make it 11.7 at 124 MPH at sea level.
Yes...I can outrun Vipers.
