sup Kcobean...You would have cought up with us if you came by, I just got back from AAM now. The service was real slow at D&B. The turn out was very small, 5 of us total. I snapped a couple pics. I will get them online soon as I upload them to imagestation. See you next time.

Rspec, kamikaZ, Kevin (screenname?? I forgot), and g6g35, thanks for coming and hanging out. Sorry for being a bad lead car, I left you guys leaving D&B, and then right before the 270S exit (I had to run that yellow light because I didn't want to come to a screeching halt with those cops next to us).

Rspec, your G is sweet! I can't wait to see it after it gets its facelift . kamikaZ, hope you find that leak, if there is any. And Sins4u33, thanks for taking me out for a quick spin in your supercharged Z. It felt great. Hope you get new tires soon so you can put that power down to the ground, and keep it there.

For everyone wondering about the AAM 1/4" plenum spacer, Dave said you'd be able to keep your strut bar. They averaged 10-12 whp throughout their runs.

Anyway, hope you guys had a good time, and I'll see ya at the next meet or drive!

Sup, don't worry about the confusion we got everywhere we had to go and I figured that was why you didnt stop at the light. I saw you creeping along up ahead too. Look forward to seein you guys at the next meet.

sup guys,

i showed up, but i got a bit lost. i forgot to print out or write down directions so i took 495 to 270 got off on democracy...so i called one of my friends who told me its on 355. to make a long story short, i showed around 145pm at the parking lot i saw 5-6 cars. 2 Gs and i think 3-4 Z's. I saw a black G w/ a FMIC and a silver 6MT. Sorry i was late, but i am really pissed i missed the meet and got stuck in alot of traffic on 355. finally got into the mall when i got one of my friends who is competent enough to give proper directions. I am not familiar w/ maryland as i said so i will prob. skip meets in MD in the future. It was a dissappointing day overall...lost for 30-40 min then finally got there late. and to think i was going to be there early...o well maybe next time guys. nice rides btw, i didnt see any cars i recognized either...i didnt recognize any of the G's or Z's that i saw....

ya im from nova, i only been to one other meet/drive back in november where i met some of the Z/G guys. But i got there so late....nobody was outside and i was so frustrated by the time i got there. I did see your silver G 6mt and one other black one w/ the FMIC parked next to about 3-4 Z's. But i didnt see jester's Z, or cldfusn's Z or any other one's id recognize. it was a combination of
1. starvation
2. getting lost
3. nextel service sux ***, i almost smashed my i730 into the steering wheel about 3x but knew id need it...
4. traffic on 355 (i thought ppl in VA cant drive!!)
5. missing out on meeting some more peeps w/ Z/G's
so i didnt feel right strolling all late and stuff, i just made one slow pass past the cars and then left

We were actually waiting for you before we went in to eat. We went in at about 1:35, and stayed there until 3:30, because of the slow a$$ service at D&B. Sorry to hear your troubles, and yeah, 355 on a Saturday sure does suck. That Lemans you saw was mine, minus the rims. Hope you can make it to the next one .

thanks guys for stopping by the shop, for the people i took a spin in the Z u guys see how hard it is for me to catch traction....nearly impossible....but im glad you all got to see the spacer and etc....too bad none of you followed me and dave :-p had a nice spirited drive down shady grove and I-270 everyone check out the thread though i have for the next meet, gunna be a long day event i think, from meeting up early on in the day and then driving to MIR, and then going to a restaurant to get something to eat as a group. Im hoping for a good turn out, i know alot of F/I z's and possibly G's are going to be showing up. post of the thread keap it alive....ill talk to you all later,

Huh? An 18 or 19" wheel will give you the most traction (They're wider and because they have a larger circumfrence, they have a larger front-to-rear contact patch) but the trade off is that they are less effective at transfering torque to the pavement.
