I never really got into the Philly scene... I went out twice with a friend and there was nothing but slow cars. Maybe I just went the wrong nights, but from what I saw, a stock Z could pretty much dominate... just a couple of LS1's and Cobras that it would have trouble with. With my mods, I'm not even sure it would be worth it now... I can get better races cruising about Wilmington. If you add in the punks who come looking for trouble if they think you "dissed" their crew (i.e., beat them by a couple buses)... Just not worth the trouble.

Anyone spend much time in that scene?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I spoke to a writer at a photoshoot I attended today and I am very excited to go now. She used to go to school over there and she says that I should do just fine over there since according to her...the girls love guys from Cali and of course I will stand out since I am asian. Is this true? ahhaha

LOL. In her words, she said that guys from Cali are more "flamboyant" and have more "style" which helps, but who knows. Myspace is great! I think a freind of mine has over a dozen girls lined up for us to meet there plus the models that are going

Let me know what happens.
LMAO!

perfect. Yeah, do that!

PartShippers will be at the show this Saturday too! We have two cars entered in the show. We'll try to find you guys and check out the rides in person. We'll have a hot model walking around with us handing out flyers too. Stop by if you see us.

Hope to get a chance to meet some of you there!
