Lansing ,MI and surrounding areas

where are the Trans am and Camaro's in the Lansing and surrounding areas? all i see are mustangs and tuner cars (there is nothing wrong with those cars!) but i'd like to see more f-bodies
there are couple here and there but not many and if you do run into another f-body most of the time it's just a car to them!! they don't know how much fun it is to mod and drive these cars, these cars are ment to be driven not drove, there's a fine line between haven fun and abusing the car, but damn these are a blast wouldn't trade it for a slow SUV anyday!! one of these days we all should meet up and go crash the gutt or something the next cruising the gut is July 17 i'd like to see how many f-bodies we can get down town!! and who care about the 79 and older (classic thing) because they don't make our cars no more so ours are now classics!!!

I hear VT Engines does a good job with dyno tuning.

The guy I talked to that used to work there and dynoed my car said they were really backed up. Said something bout having upwards of 50 motors they're building right now. Nice shop even though it's Ford-biased.

Speaking of all us locally. Would ya'll be up for a dyno day some time this summer?


Edit: Better yet, ya'll want to meet up at this place on MSU Campus called Tasty Twist? Then I can show ya where one of the meets takes place -- mostly imports but theres a few nice turbo supras, RX-7s, and fox body stangs out there.

The one I go to is down at the old Farmer Jacks/Builders Square.. Where are you guys at?


And I still hate it when people call it "the gut", its not "the gut", the gut has been Washington since the 60s..
