I finally met some fello car people tonight.  A 00 White SS, and a red 01 GT.  Man they were young, (and when the SS owner asked if I had a 5spd, and if it was a 1999 model,  I assumed they were dumb also 

 )
Typical of young people and new cars with big payments, the cars were very lightly breathed on.  K&N panel and flows for the SS, Flows for the GT. Nice people though, and they told me about the weekly grudge night at the local 1/8th.  $10.00 and you can run all night, hmmm, I think I can swing that.  Hopefully I can meet some more people and organize something.
Take it easy guys
