Re: Williamsport, Pa?
haha good luck! i'm from NY but i went to penn college a few years ago in the automotive program. everyone up there had a thing for imports...i had the only "real" car in my class...everyone else had a r!ced out honda or vw. it was disgusting. while all my classmates were talking tuner talk, i'd be talking old school car stuff with my professor lol.

Re: Williamsport, Pa?
Lock Haven area here.... Theres a handful of third gens around- some old mustangs, and about a million riced out cavilers. lol
Havent seen too many truely fast cars around here this last year...
however there is a seriously drag modded out termi cobra that makes an appearance on nice summer days sometimes... also a very nasty built black notchback to watch out for also... gonna be interesting this summer.
Was hoping to find a group of fast cars to meet/cruise with for ***** and giggles but like i said not too many around this area

Re: Williamsport, Pa?
Most of my friends have Fbodys mostly 3rd gen, We have several ongoing engine swaps going at this point. All should be done in a month hopefully and ready to run. Several should be looking at 15s motor, 14's bottle. that is if the f'in 10 bolts hold. Hoping to have some fun this summer, several years ago it was fun to mess with the local ***** club in lock haven with my bottle fed stang... I dunno if they meet there anymore?

Re: Williamsport, Pa?
Umm, most turdgens are usually 14 sec cars AFTER full bolt ons. As I recall seeing stock LS cars run low 13 factory stock, and few have busted high 12's from the dealer (documented).... soooo, I dunno...
Also are there any "stock" LS cars anymore? As I have asked before, what is considered stock?

No there isn't anymore stock LS cars. Stock is nothing done to the car from the factory.
